DOTMLPF (pronounced "Dot-MiL-P-F") stands for doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities. It is a capability-based analytical framework used by the United States Department of Defense to determine how best to improve a military capability. When military organizations identify an significant change in future mission requirements, the framework is used to evaluate whether the problem can be solved through changes in doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, or a combination of these elements. The framework is also applied to help military planners consider how a change in the character of warfare will affect these seven elements of military operations.
