• Remember that your ENTIRE JUON/JEON isn’t supposed to be more than 3 pages in length (excluding the cover memo), unless you have a compelling reason to make it longer.

• That being said, there are quite a few things to cover in this section alone. Be as concise as possible without sacrificing the level of specificity that YOU believe is needed.

• Section 5.1.4.3 lays out everything required for this Section, but here’s an overview at a high level:

• Describe what capabilities are required—do not (yet) offer specific capability solutions

• Assess the duration of this need—discrete operation, extended period, or entire conflict?

• The capability required should nest within the operational context and threat summary you just completed in the previous section

• Include threshold Joint Performance Requirements (JPRs) for the relevant key attributes, as necessary

• Threshold values for these JPRs (designated as Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)), are the minimum necessary to prevent loss of life and/or critical mission failure

• Specify the latest acceptable date to address the capability requirements and associated capability gaps
