How the JROC influences the DOD

• The JROC has two formal ways to address issues
• Requirements and Acquisition Process
• Joint Warfighting Capabilities
  Assessment (JWCA) Process

13
Purpose of the JWCA Process
JROC established JWCA process to conduct
assessments to provide advice to the CJCS on
critical joint warfighting issues

• Appraise joint warfighting capability areas
  analyze critical deficiencies and strengths
• Recommend opportunities to improve joint
  warfighting capabilities.
• Facilitate JROC/CC discussions on joint
  warfighting issues.
• Provide analytic foundation for JROC
  recommendations to the CJCS.
• Primary mechanism for development of the CJCS
  Title X advice to the SECDEF CPR / CPA
