Global Combat Support System
Abstract
The Global Combat Support System (GCSS) is an information technology (IT) application that continues to evolve to a service oriented architecture delivering asset visibility to the joint logistics warfighters. These warfighters are the planners, executers, and controllers of the core logistics capabilites, and facilitates information interoperability across and between Combat Support and Command and Control functions. In conjunction with other Global Information Grid elements including Global Command and Control System-Joint, Defense Information Systems Network, Computing Services, and Combatant Commands/Services/Agencies information architectures, GCSS provides the IT capabilities (i.e., WatchBoards, Joint Decision Support Tools, and mapping capabilities) to ensure forces are physically available and properly equipped to move and sustain joint forces throughout the spectrum of military operations. The Combatant Command and Joint Task Force Commanders and their staffs are the primary GCSS customers. GCSS enables the joint logistics warfighter to conduct operations in a complex, interconnected, and increasingly global operational environment. The joint logistic warfighters are responsible for planning, executing, and controlling core logistics capabilities.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The decrease in FY 2010 is due to distributed congressional adjustments and results in a reduction in the scope of development, integration, testing and analysis of data, at the current velocity which in turn results in reduction of functionality to the warfighter and scaling back on training. The DoD did not estimate FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President’s Budget was prepared.
