12. CCMD Derived Requirement

a. A CCMD Derived Requirement (CDR) provides the CCMD the avenue to specify one or more JCRs (i.e., tasks, conditions, standards) and associated capability gaps. CDRs allow CCMDs an avenue to define requirements that are appropriate for the deliberate lane (i.e., do not meet the urgent/emergent timelines or criteria), with more specificity than an IPL. The CDR also allows for recommendations partially or wholly mitigating identified capability gaps(s) with a materiel capability solution, or some combination of materiel and non-materiel solutions. The approval authority for CDRs is the originating CCDR. CCMD-approved CDRs will be submitted into KM/DS and go through the JFRP staffing process to inform JFDD activities.

b. The intent of the CDR is to expedite capability development by providing the Services with a document that captures all of the essential material to bypass writing an Initial Capability Document (or equivalent) and to link their Capability Development Document (or equivalent) to the CDR.

c. See Joint Requirements Documents for document format information.

From Enclsoure B of the JFRP Manual:

c. CCMD Derived Requirement. The purpose of a CDR is to document JFRs/JCRs and associated capability gaps in cases where the CCDR deems the operational risk of unmitigated capability gaps to be unacceptable. It provides traceability to the operational context, threats, and other relevant factors that determine the joint military capabilities. CDRs are Service, solution, and cost agnostic and specify one or more JCRs (task, condition, standards statement).
