Joint Requirements Oversight Council

US

The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) is a component of the U.S. Department of Defense acquisition process. It is a statutory council to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). The JROC reviews and validates programs of interest to ensure they meet military requirements and address gaps in joint military capabilities, including those related to space. They support the acquisition review process and develop joint priorities, ensuring interoperability and addressing the needs of warfighters, and also make recommendations to the Defense Acquisition Board.
