Global Combat Support System

Abstract

The Global Combat Support System-Joint (GCSS-J) is an information technology (IT) application that continues to transition to a service oriented architecture to deliver asset visibility to the joint logistician (i.e., essential capabilities, functions, activities, and tasks necessary to sustain all elements of operating forces in theater at all levels), 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 (GCCS-J), Computing Services, and Combatant Commands/Services/Agencies information architectures, GCSS-J will provide the IT capabilities required to move and sustain joint forces throughout the spectrum of military operations. The primary beneficiaries of this investment are the joint logisticians. They are military officers, warrant officers, enlisted personnel, civilians, and contractors that specialize in providing joint logistics support that extends from the national industrial base to the end user. Joint logisticians are the planners, executors, and controllers of core joint logistic capabilities. They understand tactical, operational, and strategic operations and synchronize efforts to effectively meet joint force requirements.
