11. Timeline To approve one task from Need Identification /
Gap Analysis to Approval can be done in 30
days.

12. Critical Tasks
Any task can be designated a critical task by a Critical Task Site Selection Board. (CTSSB)
TRADOC requires every task to be considered every 4-6 years by a CTSSB
All Critical Tasks and Competencies are reviewed by the CTSSB.
A simple majority vote by the CTSSB is required to designate a task as critical.
CMDT is approving authority for Tasks and Competencies and for the CTSSB Decision Brief
CMDT as Proponent has approving authority outside of the CTSSB process
