SPG Development Process

Ensure regional, functional, and key joint warfighting issues are addressed up front in strategic guidance

The SPG is produced as needed to communicate Defense strategy, top priorities, risk tolerance, and broad capability guidance. It is top-down and resource informed.
Capability Guidance Major enterprise and warfighting needs, gaps, and overlaps Broad guidance for each capability category Other Guidance Studies list Key assumptions on threats and opportunities Broad resource constraints (TOA increase/decrease and end strength)

Defense Strategy Strategy construct (e.g., 1-4-2-1) Key strategic goals and objectives Force size, posture, and response times Link to National Strategy
Top-Down Process
Input: Strategic Realities Process Feedback Member ideas

Priorities and Risk SecDef priorities for the Department (includes metrics) Risk tolerance by category, theater, and mission area

JPG Development Process

Organized by Capability Category

The JPG captures joint capabilities decisions made over the year in the Enhanced Planning Process and translates them into a contract of fiscally constrained programming guidance.
Directive Guidance PDM-like direction for selected joint capability issues SecDef special interest items Maintains/corrects prior year decisions Delegated Guidance Contains metrics and measures of sufficiency for remainder of program Rationalizes all guidance (directive and delegated) to ensure affordability Fiscal Adequacy Developed with Components Demonstrates that top lines are adequate to execute all guidanceSPG (if any) and JPG

Compliance w/SPG Evaluate extent to which JPG meets objectives specified in SPG Describe reasons for differences (e.g. fact of life changes, execution feedback)

Performance Assessment Report

Organized by Capability Category

Assessment of how well the Department met the guidance in the SPG and the JPG; tees up issues for the SPC to discuss as they consider the future.
Feasibility of the Strategy Annually: Assessment of whether the totality of current/planned capabilities is sufficient to execute the current strategy within risk tolerance. Identifies selected capabilities issues for SPC discussion.

Periodic Internal Management Review (internal assessment)

Status of Delegated Capabilities Components report progress/problems meeting sufficiency goals in the current JPG. Status of Directed Joint Capabilities Assessment of big issues ; topics staggered through the year.

AND
Summary Assessment Summary of fiscal year end status by capability categories using balanced scorecard assessments.

In Summary, CoComs:
What
Strategy

How
Are members of the Strategic Planning Council (SPC) which meets several times per year to provide strategic focus, top priorities, risk tolerance, and broad capability guidance. Submit capabilities-based IPLs to further shape the SPG. Provide members to working groups that perform the bottom-up aspects of the SPG, ensuring SPC guidance is implemented.

Enhanced Planning

Review the SPG prior to signature. Identify key capability change drivers such as lessons learned, experimentation, new concepts, threat changes, and IPL/JQRR items. Shape how joint forces will be employed today by developing Operational Plans. Shape how joint forces will be employed in the future by creating Joint Operating Concepts and associated metrics. Define current and future joint needs. Assess potential solutions to joint needs; participate in decision making. Review Service POMs to determine impact of fact of life changes on their concerns Provide the primary feedback mechanism on how well capabilities being acquired meet the needs of the Defense strategy. 11
