To improve its “jointness” and “joint operations,” the ROK military adopted the United States’ JCD&E as a benchmark and introduced and applied the joint warfighting development system. In terms of the experience in and maturity of the system, however, it is true that the requirement planning system based on the joint concept is not working adequately in the ROK Armed Forces. Thus, this paper proposes several suggestions to solve these problems. First of all, a strong leadership by the military leaders is required for the early establishment of the capability-based force planning system. The senior military leaders should participate in the initial planning step. Second, the jointness should be strengthened by specifying the force planning methodology, which is based on the “top-down” method that came from the joint concept and fiscal conditions. Third, it is necessary to operate the requirement planning system based on capabilities integration, which is directly related to the joint warfighting development system establishing the joint operation concept. Lastly, ICD, which is the initial document of JCIDS and a connection between adapting the force planning methodology based on CBA and the acquisition system, should be introduced. These suggestions must be adapted very quickly as force planning should be transformed in a way that is based on the armed forces’ warfighting capability and not on military equipment acquisition, the rapidly changing international environment, and the country’s fiscal situation.

우리 군은 '합동성' 및 '합동작전' 능력을 강화시키기 위해 미국의 합동개념 발전 및 실험(JCD&E)를 벤치마킹 하여 합동 전투발전체계를 도입하여 적용하고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 경험적인 차원에서 합동개념에 기반을 둔 소요기획체계 운영이 제대로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정에 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 몇 가지 방안을 제안하였다. 첫째, 능력기반 소요기획체계의 조기 정립을 위한 군사지휘 부의 리더십 발휘가 필요하다. 둘째, 합동개념에 의한 '하향식'(Top-down) 및 '재정 강조' 중심의 소요기획 방 법론을 구체화시켜 합동성을 강화할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 합동작전개념을 수립하는 합동전투발전 과정과 직접 연계된 능력통합중심의 소요기획체계가 작동되어야 한다. 넷째, 능력기반 소요기획 방법론 적용과 획득체계 와의 연계를 통한 합동능력 통합 및 개발체계(JCIDS)의 출발문서인 최초능력서(ICD)의 도입이 필요하다.
