This paper provides recommendations to appropriate US Navy offices on the drafting of US Navy 'capstone' documents. It is part of a larger study of the drafting and influence of all US Navy capstone documents since 1970. The larger study has been published in slide format as Peter M. Swartz with Karin Duggan, U.S. Navy Capstone Strategies & Concepts (1970-2009) (CNA MISC D0019819.A1/Final February 2009). This paper provides a detailed set of recommendations intended to be useful to Navy decision-makers and staff officers charged with developing the current and next generations of US Navy capstone documents.
