2.5.1.5.3. Provide rough-order-of-magnitude total required resources needed to implement the proposed change as shown in Figure B-19, including cost by FY and type of required funding. In cases with funds controlled by different organizations, multiple tables may be used to show changes to funding in each organization.

2.5.1.5.3.1. Joint DCRs involve “change recommendations,” so cost data represents only new costs or changes to funded efforts. For example, if a recommendation is to change an aspect of joint training, and the change does not require increased resources to cover the total cost of implementing the proposal, including course development, instructor staffing and/or billets, instructor education, facilities, training materials, hardware, and mock-ups, etc., then do not include those resources in this table.

2.5.1.5.3.2. While cost estimation for non-materiel capability solutions are not bound by the same statutes and policy as materiel capability solutions, Sponsors are encouraged to leverage cost estimation approaches outlined in References [5] and [51]. Ensure that resource estimates have been reviewed by the Sponsor’s cost analysis organization to ensure best practices are being followed. Also, ensure that any final report or other related documentation, not already present in the KM/DS system, is uploaded for reference purposes.
