Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES)

Abstract

The DISA, through the Joint Planning & Execution Services (JPES) Program Management Office (PMO), provides information technology (IT) capabilities to support the DoD’s Joint Planning Process (JPP). These capabilities support force planning, deployment planning, allocation of forces, and execution of Global Force Management (GFM) processes for military operations as part of the Joint Command & Control (JC2) mission. The JPES capability represents the modernization effort of critical JC2 GFM mission-enabling capabilities in two phases. Phase I encompasses the modernization of the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and Phase II encompasses the modernization of the Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM). •Phase I, the modernization of JOPES, is currently underway. In accordance with the DISA Component Acquisition Executive (CAE) Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) of 09 September 2022 which established objective and threshold dates, delivery of completed JPES software from the contractor will occur in Q2FY2024 (objective). Interoperability and operational testing will occur in Q2/3FY2024 (objective). The transition from JOPES will start in Q3FY2024 (objective) and end in Q4FY2024 (objective). Threshold dates are one quarter later. JOPES sunset will follow a successful transition. Once deployed and operational, the JPES effort will address new functional requirements and enhancements related to military operation monitoring, planning, and execution activities. JPES will support thousands of operational users across the globe. Additionally, there are 25 external systems across the Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Military Services, and Defense Agencies that are dependent on JOPES to perform force planning, deployment planning and execution activities. •Phase II, which includes the development of new JPES functional requirements and the modernization of JCRM, will begin in FY 2025. Incorporating functionality into JPES begins mid-FY 2026 with full engagement in FY 2027. JCRM is a web-based application and database supported by web services. It enables the Global Force Management Allocation Process (GFMAP) for CCMDs to draft, staff, store, and submit force requirements for ongoing and emerging military operations, contingency plans, and military exercises worldwide. JCRM is vital to managing complex global force requirements and tracking the distribution of U.S. military forces among the CCMDs. Regardless of modernization, there is no alternate capability to fulfill the ongoing capabilities of JCRM. Modernization of JOPES is crucial because current capabilities are increasingly expensive to maintain, and the existing system is composed of an increasing number of End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support (EOS) components. Because there is no other equivalent tool available to support the deployment of troops or equipment and supplies to support the National Military Strategy and the National Security Strategy, the existing system is incurring significant risk for mission failure. By improving planning and execution of military operations and enabling the ability to respond to ongoing military operations and crises that require military intervention, replacing JOPES reduces the risk of mission failure.
