We show how to assign initial data for the characteristic Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system on two intersecting smooth null hypersurfaces. We successfully adapt the hierarchical method set up by A. D. Rendall to solve the same problem for the Einstein equations in vacuum and with perfect fluid source. Unlike the work of Rendall, many delicate calculations and expressions are given in details so as to address, in a forthcoming work, the issue of global resolution of the characteristic initial value problem for the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system. The method obviously applies to the Einstein-Maxwell and the Einstein-scalar field models.
