ACQUISITION CATEGORY (ACAT)
The tab in the top left corner indicates the program’s Acquisition Category
(ACAT). ACAT I programs have dark green tabs and all other
programs (ACAT II and III) have light green tabs. A small number of
programs have no ACAT designation and are shown as OTHER. The
programs are arranged alphabetically within each ACAT section.
WARFIGHTING FUNCTION
This tab identifies the Warfighting Function(s) each program supports.
• Mission Command programs develop and integrate activities
enabling a commander to balance the art of command and the
science of control. This philosophy places people, rather than
technology or systems, at the center.
• Movement and Maneuver programs move and employ forces to
achieve a position of relative advantage over the enemy and other
threats. Direct fire and close combat are inherent in this function.
