Title: Defense Budget: Role of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council
Authors: Thomas Hawkins, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: The Joint Requirements Oversight Council conducts requirements analyses, validates mission needs and key performance parameters for weapons programs, and develops joint priorities for those needs. Since the enactment of Goldwater-Nichols, Congress has manifested a growing interest in the JROC as an instrument of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for integrating competing Service priorities.
