You will need the validated ICD to complete this part.

- This section of your proposed IS-CDD provides operational context in which the capability defined in the ICD is being addressed.

- This information explains how the capability requirements contribute to the missions and activities of the joint force.
- Ensure this section addresses any operational context changes that have occurred since validation of the ICD. Also, don’t forget to update the DoDAF OVs previously submitted with the ICD to reflect any of these changes.

- Ensure you address any relevant considerations for the mitigation of civilian harm during military operations.

- Ensure the narrative is consistent with DoDAF OVs generated during prior analysis, as modified for the scope and purpose of your IS-CDD. This includes the DoDAF OV-1, OV-2, OV-4, and OV-5a. You’ll need to generate these DoDAF OVs if they aren’t available for updating.
- Provide the DoDAF OV-1 in this section and if applicable, include intelligence system connectivity and interoperability in the DoDAF OV-1.
- Do not include any other DoDAF views in this section unless you specifically reference them elsewhere in the body of your IS-CDD.
- Cite the validated source documents that identify the capability requirements addressed by your CDD. Again, provide them to the Joint Staff Gatekeeper for reference purposes if they’re not already posted to KM/DS.
- If you are not basing your IS-CDD on a validated ICD, provide the operational context and initial DoDAF OVs as outlined for Section 1 of an ICD.
