PART 2. DEFINITIONS & ACRONYMS

2.1. DEFINITIONS

2.1.1 Abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD). The A-CDD is a capability requirement document used to establish the Army's position on development of an Army material capability. They are a more robust and refined capability requirement document that conveys the Army's position which establishes a need to accomplish probable military objectives prior to an acquisition material development decision (MOD). Approval of the A- CDD will not support an acquisition milestone decision (MS A, MS B, or MSC). A-CDDs can be used as the source requirement to execute rapid experimentation and prototyping efforts prior to program initiation. Approval of an A-COD equates to an approved requirement.

2.1.2 Army Master Range Plan (AMRP). The AMRP is the master repository for the DCS, G– 3/5/7 validated, prioritized, and funded range modernization and training land acquisition projects. It serves as the Army’s database of record for all Army-approved range projects in all resourcing categories.

2.1.3 Army Regulations. Publications issued by Department of the Army (DA) which are directive in nature and contain missions, responsibilities, policies, and administrative procedures necessary to insure uniform compliance with those policies.

2.1.4 Army Range Requirements Model (ARRM). ARRM is a mid-range and long-range planning web application used by installation and higher level managers. ARRM calculates baseline range and land unit throughput requirements and installation capacity. ARRM provides analytical capabilities tailored to the user’s organizational level from the development of installation Range Complex Master Plan (RCMP) and RDP to Army-level stationing scenarios by allowing all input parameters to be changed and requirements recalculated. The ARRM project supports SRP installation managers or proponents in performing essential evaluations of the installation training land and range requirements compared to the installation capacity. The ARRM system will assist the proponents in making timely decisions using current data. ARRM allows users at all levels – installation, ACOM and HQDA – to model operational RTLP throughput requirements as well as institutional range and land requirements arising from TRADOC-approved Program of Instruction (POI) and compare them to throughput RTLP capacity at SRP installations.

2.1.5 As Directed, as Required, Approved, Acceptance. Where these words or words of similar import are used, it shall be understood that the direction, requirements, permission, approval, or acceptance of the Contracting Officer is intended unless stated otherwise.
