This and the Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP) are finalized in the Develop Organizational Models Phase of the Force Development Process.

• A. Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE)
• B. Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP)
• C. Unit Reference Sheet (URS)
• D. Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS)

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is how the Force Development Process codifies a unit’s structure and its issued equipment during the Develop Organizational Models phase. The Unit Reference Sheet records the unit’s planned organization, including staffing and the equipment mix the unit is built around, at this planning stage. This sheet provides a clear, stable reference that aligns with how the unit will be equipped, which is then used to finalize the Basis of Issue Plan. The BOIP specifies the exact quantities of equipment to be issued to the unit to support that organization. Together, the Unit Reference Sheet and the Basis of Issue Plan establish a coherent, plan-level picture of how the unit should look and what it should have, before moving on to formal authorization documents. Tables of Organization and Equipment are the formal, later expression of unit authorization and are typically derived from these planning outputs, not the immediate deliverables of this phase. JCIDS is a separate joint requirements process focused on validating capability needs, not on finalizing unit-level organization and issue plans.
