Provides a definition of capabilities-based planning, puts it in
the larger context of defense activities generally, and sketches an
analytic architecture for carrying it out. Capabilities-based
planning has become a central theme of defense planning. It is
defined in broad terms in the 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review, but
opinions differ about its details and how to implement it. This
book reviews and extends ideas developed over the last decade
regarding capabilities-based planning. It puts capabilities-based
planning in the larger context of defense activities generally,
sketches an analytic architecture for carrying it out, and offers
recommendations about how to proceed, including a suggested
architecture that emphasizes mission-level work and such concepts
as mission-system analysis, exploratory analysis, and hierarchical
portfolio methods for integration and tradeoffs in an economical
framework. Capabilities-based planning is related to the objective
of transforming U.S. forces to deal effectively with the changes
taking place in military affairs. The book also emphasizes that the
new paradigm of capabilities-based planning is particularly apt
given the objective of transforming U.S. forces to deal effectively
with the changes taking place in military affairs.
