How are near-term known requirements approved and ordered?
Near-term (FY A) known requirements are approved and ordered annually through the Global Force Management Board (GFMB) process and published in the GFMAP, or, for CCMD assigned forces demands, through the Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM). (paragraph 1)
How are contingency force requirements determined?
Planners use the TPFDD found in CCMD contingency plans to determine the Army force requirements that form the contingency demand. (paragraph 1)

The consolidated contingency demand list is used for each year (FY AD) of the SRP time horizon for planning, updated as the CCMD updates and publishes changes to the plan/TPFDD. (paragraph 1)
What formats provide the unit and capability requirements for known and contingency demands?
The unit and capability requirements that comprise known and contingency demands are drawn from a variety of different formats (that is, the GFMAP, JCRM, and the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) databases), each with its own rules for recording requests for Army forces.
