geodesy requirements and priorities on an annual basis from all DoD
elements as well as other agencies that utilize DoD MC&G products. The

sideration as to the adequacy of existing coverage or materials, or the
feasibility of producing the desired product.

validating MC&G area requirements. Reference b. provides strategic
guidance and regional appraisals as a basis for MC&G support. Reference c.

development of MC&G requirements. Reference d. provides the consolidated
requirements developed last year in support of JSOP FY 74-81. Reference e.

in the intelligence and planning category.
