Capability Development
Operating concepts are conceived and translated into capability requirements. Integrates the capability components to realize the implementation
capabilities. Selected capability requirements are translated into validated designs for force employment – doctrine and structures. Manages the daily operation

Army 2040 aim is to establish a foundation for strategic dialogue based on key areas where Army senior leadership should focus attention today in order to remain relevant in 2040.

(Environmental Scanning)
Broad based assessment of the future landscape out to 2040 to identify defence and security implications for the Army Researched eight domains considering trends, drivers, shocks and key uncertainties:
Physical (environmental) Social and political Science and technology Economic Legal Security
Six months duration with essays completed in each domain.
36
(Environmental Scanning) Consider:
Trends - discernable patterns of change; Drivers - factors that directly influence or cause change; Shocks - high impact low probability events; and Key Uncertainties - unknowns and controversies to be clarified in the future.
Emphasize social as well as technological.
37
(Futures Wheel)
Futures Wheel methodology is one
among futurists A way of organizing thinking and questioning about the future - a kind of structured brainstorming Designed to show complex interrelationships between drivers Flexible and relatively easy and straightforward to use

Four seminar wargames are being conducted to consider:
Security implications for Canada and possible missions and tasks for the Canadian Army in each particular Alternate Future. Characteristics of the Canadian Army in each particular Alternate Future Capabilities required by the Canadian Army in each particular Alternate Future
To date two of four wargames have been conducted
Materialism Gone Mad – 26-30 November 2012 High-Octane Green – 10-14 June 2013 Global Quagmire – Fall 2013 Recyclable Society – Winter 2013
