What is the purpose and importance of FMSWeb? How does it apply to Army majors? What are FMSWeb’s capabilities and limitations? (Slide 32) Force Management System (FMS) documents the Army. It uses The Army Authorization Documents System (TAADS) data fields. Provides the HQDA approved documentation of personnel and equipment requirements and authorizations of the MTOE and TDA Force at the grade, skill, MOS, LIN, AMSCO, MDEP, and quantity level of detail. Documents requirements and authorizations for MTOEs at various levels using data from SAMAS, the TOE, BOIPs, and ICPs. Documents requirements and authorizations for TDA units using data from SAMAS, concept plans, manpower surveys and studies, and manpower standards applications. Maintains quantitative and qualitative personnel and equipment data (grade, MOS, ERC, and LIN). Provides access through the Web-based system of Force Management System Web (FMSWeb). T/F: Capabilities-based assessment is initiated through the force program review (FPR) process. (True) F104: Developing Materiel Capabilities (Acquisition). How does materiel development and acquisition relate to the CBA process (JCIDS and ACIDS)? Sometimes a capability gap that is identified through the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) or through the Army’s version (ACIDS) can be filled best by a materiel solution—the in DOTMLPF. (Ref CBI, slide # 3 of 19) “M” When this occurs, there is an effort to minimize the amount of research and development required—cost and time—to bring a system on line and field it. How is the decision to pursue materiel solutions determined? What capability solutions are available? (See slide #6) If part or all of the recommended solution entails a materiel solution, an initial capabilities document (ICD) is issued by the staff to the service to pursue that solution (and funding for it). This in turn initiates analysis of how best to achieve the materiel solution: existing system modifications or upgrades or a new system start.
