[Intro] Hey there, welcome to the mission—come and take a ride, We’re talking requirements with a rhythm as your guide. [Verse 1] JCIDS starts the story with a capability gap, “What do we need?” “Who needs it?”—let’s unwrap. KPPs are the anchors, must-have, no doubt, KSAs support the mission, filling details out. [Pre-Chorus] CDD to CPD, watch the evolution grow, From early broad intent to the fielding-ready show. [Chorus] Requirement Rhapsody—sing the needs aloud! KPPs are must-be-there, KSAs make us proud! Requirement Rhapsody—set the baseline true, What the warfighter needs is the heart of what we do. [Verse 2] Bonafide Need Rule—yeah, it matters today, Spend this year’s money on what’s needed right away. If it’s next year’s dream, hold the cash in your hand, That’s fiscal law harmony across the land. [Pre-Chorus] JROC’s in the spotlight, validating what’s right, Ensuring joint interest before programs ignite. [Chorus] Requirement Rhapsody—sing the needs aloud! KPPs are must-be-there, KSAs make us proud! Trace it all in SE, keep the flow precise, A well-written requirement saves you twice. [Bridge] From draft ICDs to final CPDs, It’s a journey of logic—no one said it’s a breeze. But with clarity strong and alignment tight, The acquisition train stays firmly on the right track. [Breakdown] Say “K-P-P!” (Must-have item!) Say “K-S-A!” (Support the mission!) Say “Bonafide Need!” (Spend in the right year!) We’re singing requirements loud and clear! [Final Chorus] Requirement Rhapsody—now you know the tune! KPPs to CPDs, we’ll be fielding soon. Requirement Rhapsody—feel the melody, Good requirements guide the strategy!
