(2) the review and approval process for the strategy.
**(c) Considerations.—**
(1) In issuing requirements for the content of an acquisition strategy for a major defense acquisition program or major system, the Under Secretary, or the decision authority, when the decision authority is the service acquisition executive of the military department that is managing the program, shall ensure that—
(A) the strategy clearly describes the proposed business case and capability management approach for the program or system, and to the maximum extent practicable, describes how capability requirements will be met through delivery of such program or system;
(B) the strategy contains a clear explanation of the resources, such as time, funding, and management capacity, necessary to meet capability requirements;
(C) the strategy is tailored to address program requirements and constraints; and
(D) the strategy considers the items listed in paragraph (2).
(2) Each strategy shall, where appropriate, consider the following:
