Joint Coordination and Integrated Group (JCIG)

The Director, JNLWD, will chair the JCIG. The JCIG will act in an oversight capacity, reviewing and recommending approval to the JIPT for new starts or the termination of unsuccessful efforts. The JCIG will coordinate and integrate NLW programs supported by the JNLWP. The JCIG will catalog and track progress of independent and Joint NLW programs, looking for efficiencies and leveraging opportunities. Each Service and USSOCOM will provide voting representatives nominated and designated by their respective Service. Non-voting members will include representatives from OSD and other relevant government agencies. The JCIG Chair is a non-voting member of the DoD NLW JIPT. The JCIG will assist in developing doctrine and will be responsible for coordination of Service NLW Mission Need Statements (MNS) and Operational Requirements Documents (ORDs). These documents will be reviewed for joint applicability and recommendations forwarded for assignment of "Lead-Service."

Joint NLW Integrated Product Team (JIPT)

The principal role of the JIPT is to serve as the Joint Service representative body in establishing and directing DoD NLW programs for joint doctrine, professional training, materiel requirements, research and development and acquisition-related activities. JIPT has functions and responsibilities to support the execution of EA responsibilities as outlined in the Joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The JIPT is responsible for recommending approval and inclusion of a consolidated DoD NLW RDT&E POM into the Marine Corps’ POM. The JIPT provides oversight and reviews the recommendations of the Joint Coordination and Integration Group (JCIG). The JIPT is responsible for reviewing/resolving security, environmental, health and safety, and policy issues that may arise in the development of the NLW programs.  The JIPT, chaired by the Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans, Policies and Operations, Headquarters Marine Corps (PP&O), is the final arbiter for the consolidated DoD NLW RDT&E program. The JIPT’s voting members are comprised of representatives from each Service and USSOCOM. The Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans (DAMO-ZA) serves as vice-chair. The JIPT is responsible for coordinating and integrating program activities into a joint management system to achieve standardization, interoperability, and optimization of JNLW program resources. The JIPT may establish advisory working groups or process action teams to investigate special NLW issues as required. The JIPT will be directly supported by the JCIG and will receive technical and analytical support from the JNLWD.
