How to configure an ASA 5516-X to be used only for VPN and connect it behind FMC/FTDs

I have an FMC1600 that manages 2 FTD 2210s. I also have an ASA 5516-X that is going to be used for VPN so we can use posturing. How do I configure the 5516 and connect it so that it communicates with the FMC/FTDs for Firewall protection and also have access to the Internet so that the VPN users can connect to it?

Ideally there would be two DMZ segments off the Firepower pair - DMZ-out and DMZ-In. The ASA has an outside and inside interface in each of those and is setup just like a normal ASA.

The policies on the Firepower pair would be to have a static NAT for the ASAs outside interface and an Access Control Policy allowing inbound tcp/443 and udp/443 to the ASA outside address (Firepower outside to DMZ-Out). A second ACP would allow inbound traffic from the VPN users (and the ASA itself) from DMZ-In to the Firepower Inside zone.
