The Wing Commander, supported by the Group Commanders/Directors and Wing Staff Agencies (WSA) (referred to as the TW Council), provides corporate guidance for capabilities-based planning; reviews and updates the GCRM; reviews and constrains the capability roadmaps; approves funding allocations in accordance with strategic direction; reviews and modifies the CARA Integrated Requirements List (IRL); and makes final resource allocation decisions.

Test Wing Groups and their associated Capability Owners (COs) are responsible to the TW Commander for ensuring their capabilities meet current and future customer requirements; assessing the capability state defined in the GCRM; developing capability roadmaps that support the GCRM; meeting funding allocation targets; defending their requirements during the IRL review; identifying risks associated with delivering the capabilities; and recommending funding adjustments to minimize those risks. (paragraph 1)
Capability Owners develop roadmaps that define the path to achieve the capability status defined in the GCRM. (paragraph 2)
The 412 TW Council reviews the GCRM twice annually and the results are used to develop capability priorities and IRL funding levels. (paragraph 2)
The CARA process identifies 412th Test Wing (TW) capabilities, requirements and costs to deliver the capabilities, risks associated with delivering the capabilities, and information needed to make decisions that optimize the capabilities and minimize risk.
