The Operational Resource Flow Description (OV-2) is a model that applies the context of the operational capability to a community of anticipated users. The primary purpose of the OV-2 is to define capability requirements within an operational context. It can also be used to express a capability boundary. The OV-2 can be used to show flows of funding, personnel, and materiel in addition to information. A specific application of the OV-2 is to describe a logical pattern of resource (information, funding, personnel, or materiel) flows. The logical pattern need not correspond to specific organizations, systems or locations, allowing Resource Flows to be established without prescribing the way that the Resource Flows are handled and without prescribing solutions. The intended usage of the OV-2 includes: definition of operational concepts, elaboration of capability requirements, definition of collaboration needs, applying a local context to a capability, problem space definition, operational planning, supply chain analysis, and allocation of activities to resources .
