JCIDS Regulatory Documents
CJCSM 3170.01C
CJCSI 3170.01F
The procedures established in the JCIDS support
the Chairman and JROC in advising the Secretary
of Defense in identifying, assessing and
prioritizing joint military capability needs as
specified in reference a. Validated and approved
JCIDS documents provide this advice and
assessment.

A Word on Technology Acceleration and Joint
Urgent Needs

• JCIDS is a deliberate process for addressing
  future needs. It is not a quick fix or expedient
  for the Big A acquisition process
• Alternatives to accelerate technology and provide
  urgent operational capabilities are
• Joint Operational Technology Demonstrations
  (formally ACTDs)
• Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell (JRAC)
