ASSESSMENTS
Encl: (1) Assessment Process Timeline
1. Purpose. To define and implement an expanded integrated
assessment approach to evaluating warfighting capability,
capacity, and wholeness (WCCW) in the allocation of U.S. Navy
resources in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution
(PPBE) process. The Office of the Chief of Naval Operations,
Director, Assessment Division (OPNAV N81), under Deputy Chief of
Naval Operations, Integration of Capabilities and Resources
(N8), is the executive agent and lead for WCCW assessments.
OPNAV N81 serves as OPNAV’s analytic organization and is
responsible for functions as designated in the OPNAV
Organizational and Operations Manual to support and inform WCCW
assessments.
2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 3050.23.
3. Background. WCCW expresses the degree to which sufficient
resources are programmed for a system or unit to achieve a
required probability of mission success. These resources are
expressed as personnel, equipment, sustainment, training,
operations, and facilities (PESTOF). The WCCW assessment
process will be implemented to support program objective
memorandum (POM) preparation by:
a. Identifying near-, mid- and far-term capability and
capacity gaps and providing quantitative and qualitative
measures to support value-based trades between disparate
components of overall Navy programs.
b. Fully accounting for platform, system and family of
system wholeness across PESTOF in the near-, mid- and far-term.
