Global Combat Support System

Abstract

Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) has two components: a functional component titled GCSS-Army (Field/Tactical) (F/T) and a technology enabler component titled Product Lifecycle Management Plus (PLM+). GCSS-Army (F/T) coupled with GCSS-Army (PLM+) are information and communications technology investments that will provide key enabling support to the transformation of the Army into a network-centric, knowledge-based future force. The GCSS-Army approved Joint Capability Description Document (CDD) requires an enterprise approach to replace current logistics and maintenance Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS). GCSS-Army will provide the Army's Sustainment Support (CS/CSS) warfighter with a seamless flow of timely, accurate, accessible and secure information management that gives combat forces a decisive edge. PLM+ will provide interfaces to external systems and limited Master Data Management. GCSS-Army will implement best business practices to streamline supply, accountability, maintenance, distribution, and reporting procedures in support of the future force transition path of the Army Campaign Plan.
