| Enemy capabilities | Military | (DOD) Those courses of action of which the enemy is physically capable and that, if adopted, will affect accomplishment of the friendly mission. The term "capabilities" includes not only the general courses of action open to the enemy, such as attack, defense, reinforcement, or withdrawal, but also all the particular courses of action possible under each general course of action. "Enemy capabilities" are considered in the light of all known factors affecting military operations, including time, space, weather, terrain, and the strength and disposition of enemy forces. In strategic thinking, the capabilities of a nation represent the courses of action within the power of the nation for accomplishing its national objectives throughout the range of military operations. See also capability; course of action; mission. (references) | |

| Improved capabilities | Military | Capabilities are distinguished from "capacities." A capability, which is an output of Perform Enterprise Integration, exists when a solution to a problem or opportunity has been developed and confirmed as workable. Capacity, on the other hand, refers to the ability of the organization to use the capability in the right time, at the right place, and in the right amount in order to accomplish a task or mission. For example: the development and successful testing of new communications hardware and software might provide the bandwidth required to support essential data transfer between two functional processes. But the capacity would not exist until the hardware and software are installed in all the required locations, users are trained in their use, etc. (references) | |
