You are both clueless. The Threat based readiness model is not only outdated, it is reactive, and guarantees one remains behind one's "threat."
The Capabilities Based model is: what options do I give the policy maker, and for how much cost. It takes a larger risk base, but can free one's security decisions on "the last war." Somewhat.
Big difference, in that one's security posture ins not threat dependent. It is also harder to explain to novices such as yourselves, heck, I took some years to get my arms around it, having grown up in a threat based model.
When I have a lot more time, I may try to do so. Today, time and space do not permit.
