### Project P005 — Nimble Fire

The Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense Organization (JIAMDO) is chartered to plan, coordinate, and oversee Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) requirements, concepts, and architectures. As part of the Joint Staff, JIAMDO supports the Chairman in meeting his Title 10 responsibilities as they relate to IAMD issues. JIAMDO is the IAMD proponent for requirements and capabilities within the DoW’s resource allocation system. JIAMDO leads IAMD mission and utility analysis, integrates IAMD within the force protection joint capability area, and conducts evaluations of joint IAMD architectures. JIAMDO executes these duties for major efforts within the Department, such as the Golden Dome for America and the Guam Defense System. JIAMDO has established a close partnership with Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and maintains close coordination with U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and U.S. Indo Pacific Command (USINDOPACO) in support of ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missile defense of the United States. JIAMDO provides the CJCS and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council the ability to meet statutory responsibilities to review cost, schedule, and performance criteria of Missile Defense Agency missile defense programs. At the direction of the JROC, JIAMDO develops the joint IAMD portfolio priority list , Nimble Fire exercises, Joint Regional IAMD Capability Mix studies, and operational analysis of the Missile Defense System. JIAMDO supports the USSTRATCOM ballistic missile early warning mission by ensuring operational and technical requirements are integrated into the theater missile warning architecture. JIAMDO also provides direct support to North American Aerospace Defense Command and USNORTHCOM for homeland air and cruise missile surveillance issues and homeland defense solutions.
