How many phases are in the Force Development Process, and what are they?

• A. Five phases
• B. Five phases, including: Develop Required Capabilities; Design Organizations; Develop Organizational Models; Determine Organizational Authorizations; Document Organizational Authorizations
• C. Six phases
• D. Four phases

Answer: (B)

The Force Development Process has five phases, and the full set is named to cover the progression from identifying needs to formalizing how an organization will operate. The phases are: Develop Required Capabilities; Design Organizations; Develop Organizational Models; Determine Organizational Authorizations; Document Organizational Authorizations. This order ensures capability needs drive how we shape organizations, then how those organizations are modeled and staffed, and finally how authorities and resources are formally authorized and documented. The other options don’t match this complete five-phase sequence or omit one or more of the named phases, so they don’t provide the full framework.
