The results of the AoA provide the basis for which of the following? ✔✔Acquisition Strategy
Which one of the following is considered a primary goal of an Acquisition Strategy?
✔✔Minimize the time and cost needed to satisfy validated needs
The AS must be approved by the MDA prior to what? ✔✔Release of a formal solicitation
Which term is defined as the minimum acceptable value for performance that is necessary to
satisfy an identified need? ✔✔Threshold
Which of the following are considered parameters of the Acquisition Program Baseline? (Select
all that apply) ✔✔Cost, Schedule, Performance
A successful Milestone A decision leads to entry into which phase? ✔✔Technology Maturation
and Risk Reduction
The MDA must approve which of the following for a program to successfully complete
Milestone A? (Select all that apply) ✔✔The proposed materiel solution, The Acquisition
Strategy, A Life Cycle Sustainment Plan
When does a program enter the TMRR phase? ✔✔When the AoA has been completed and the
MDA has approved the AS
Which of the following are goals of the TMRR phase? ✔✔Reduce technology risk, Demonstrate
critical technologies through prototyping, Conduct a preliminary design review
True or false? One of the requirements for a project to exit the TMRR phase is that the
technology has been demonstrated in a relevant environment. ✔✔True
What is the purpose of Milestone B? ✔✔Initiates engineering and manufacturing development
phase
Which of the following are key considerations of the EMD phase?(Select all that apply)
✔✔Completes all needed hardware and software detailed design, Systemically retires any open
risks, Prepares for production and deployment
Which of the following is a responsibility of the PM during the EMD phase? ✔✔Finalizing
designs of the product support elements
Which of the following are considerations for Milestone C?(Select all that apply) ✔✔Cost
estimates, Environmental issues, Manpower estimates
An updated Acquisition Program Baseline is required for Milestone C approval. ✔✔True
MDA decisions made during the Production and Deployment phase are documented where?
✔✔Acquisition Decision Memorandum
Which of the following are key considerations of Low Rate Initial Production? (Select all that
apply) ✔✔Establishes an initial production base for the system, Provides OT&E test articles,
Provides an efficient ramp-up to full rate production

private sector or other governments, Waste disposal
A favorable Milestone C decision authorizes entry to this phase. ✔✔What is production and
deployment?
This is a true statement about the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB). ✔✔What is the PM, in
coordination with the user, prepares the APB at program initiation?
During this phase, the appropriate operational authority will declare Initial Operational
Capability (IOC) when the defined operational organization has been equipped and trained, and
is determined to be capable of conducting mission operations. ✔✔What is the Production and
Deployment phase?
The Acquisition strategy defines the increment about to be undertaken, as well as subsequent
increments in this requirement. ✔✔What is the time-phased needs?
This person prepares the Acquisition Strategy during the MSA. ✔✔Who is the Program
Manager?

Aquisition Strategy (AS). ✔✔What is the DoDI 5000.02?
This is used to create the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB). ✔✔What is the Defense
Acquisition Management Information Retrieval (DAMIR)?
Prepared at program initiation and revised to subsequent milestone reviews, program
restructuring, or unrecoverable deviations. ✔✔What is the APB?
This is the agreement between the MDA and Program Manager that will be used for tracking a
program. ✔✔What is the Acquisition Program Baseline?
DoD defines and validates requirements through the Joint Capabilities Integration and
Development System (JCIDS) and develops technology, produces weapons systems, and
provides logistics support through the Defense Acquisition System. ✔✔True
The Materiel Solution Analysis Phase (MSA) ends when the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) has
been completed, a materiel solution option for the capability need is recommended, and the
phase-specific entrance criteria for the initial review milestone have been satisfied. ✔✔True
In order for the Program Manager to maximize affordability from program initiation through
post-production, the Acquisition Strategy must evolve and become increasingly more definitive.
✔✔True
The purpose of the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase is to reduce
technology risk through competitive prototyping of critical technologies. ✔✔True
When is the Acquisition Program baseline (APB) prepared? ✔✔Prepared at program initiation
and revised to subsequent milestone reviews, program restructuring, or unrecoverable deviations

Defense (DoD) is committed to production of the system and entry into Low-Rate Initial
Production (LRIP)
