Reflecting the continuous, cyclical nature of CPM
and POM development, This OAG will simultaneously focus on
monitoring the execution of POM-28, closing out POM-29, and
initiating strategic planning for POM-30. 
Through this synchronized governance framework,
the OAG will address capability gaps across intelligence
disciplines, foster cross-refined Community of Practice
(CoP) and Community of Interest (CoI) outputs, and enhance
accountability and communication across all 
levels of the MCISRE to ensure it remains adaptable, resilient,
