National Military Command System-Wide Support

Abstract

The National Military Command System-Wide Support (NMCS) provides the President of the United States, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, senior executive leaders, National Military Command Centers (NMCCs), and the Executive Travel Fleet with the ability to execute Command and Control (C2) over all U.S. military forces, ensure continuous availability of emergency messaging, maintain situational and operational awareness as well as crisis action and operational capabilities. DISA’s NMCS Engineering program provides overall configuration management of NMCS assets and guides the future evolution of the multiple systems in the NMCS while continuing to meet national security needs. Elimination of the NMCS Engineering program would seriously degrade the government’s ability to respond to the full spectrum of contingency operations ranging from local events (e.g., natural disasters) to global and/or nuclear war.
