Select the document that establishes policies and procedures for developing, reviewing, validating and approving the capability documents required by the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS).

• A. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 5123.01
• B. DoDI 5000.02
• C. DoDI 5000.85
• D. CJCS Instruction 3010

Answer: (A)

The policy and procedure for creating, reviewing, validating, and approving capability documents required by JCIDS are set by a chairman-level joint instruction. This document establishes how the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) operates, including the development of the key capability documents (such as ICDs, CDDs, CPDs, and ORD), the roles and responsibilities of the services and joint staff, and the involvement of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council in review and approval. It is the guiding authority for how capability needs are analyzed, documented, and validated before moving into acquisition discussions. Other DoD Instructions focus on broader acquisition policy or different processes and do not specifically govern the JCIDS capability-document workflow, so they don’t establish these JCIDS policies.
