LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT STUDY GUIDE
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ What are the three (3) categories of Joint Concepts? Answer: -
Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC): is the vision for how the joint force
will operate in the future.
- Joint Operating Concepts (JOC): broadly describe how the joint
force operates in a specific mission area.
- Supporting Concepts: address specific joint force missions or
functions in depth and detail.
◉ Army Concept Framework includes what types of documents?
Answer: Army Operating: how the Army is to operate as part of the
joint force in the future.
Functional: the ways in which WfF capabilities are to operate in the
future.
Supporting: the ways in which other capabilities are to operate in
the future.
Advisory: documents like white papers, CONOPS and other special
focused documents.
◉ What is the current Army Operating Concept? Answer: Multi-
Domain Operations (MDO) 2028
,◉ What are the three (3) Capabilities-Based Assessment phases and
their purposes? Answer: - Needs Analysis (Identify required
capabilities and tasks)
- Gap Analysis (Identify the gaps)
- Solutions Analysis (Identify potential solutions using DOTMLPF-P
as a lens)
