Joint Integration & Interoperability

Abstract

The Unified Command Plan 2004 assigned USJFCOM with the mission as the Joint Force Integrator for interoperability and integration of future and fielded capabilities critical to Joint, Multi-National, and Interagency warfighting operations. In addition, Management Initiative Decision (MID) 912 signed by the Deputy Secretary of Defense (DEPSECDEF) 7 January 2003 expanded the USJFCOM JI&I role to increase operational through tactical level joint integration of the following capabilities: Common Operational and Tactical Pictures; Combat Identification; Situational Awareness; Adaptive Mission Planning and Rehearsal; Interoperability among Service/Agency intelligence systems; Interoperable Joint Fires, Maneuver, and Intelligence; and Integrated Joint Battle Management Command and Control. In support of these missions, the outcome of USJFCOM JI&I program is to: -- identify, assess and develop mission capable solutions for COCOM interoperability and integration capability shortfalls; -- provide Combatant Commanders with interoperable combat identification and situational awareness capabilities among United States Interagencies, and Allied and Coalition Forces in support of the Global War on Terrorism operations; -- develop joint requirements supporting specific joint missions identified in MID 912 (Joint Close Air Support, Joint Fires, etc.); -- develop joint integrated architectures that guide service capability mapping to achieve joint interoperability; and, -- establish joint data standards and cross domain solutions to facilitate future system interoperability and integration. The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and follow-on Strategic Planning Guidance emphasized the need to continue building upon the Department's capability-based planning and management initiatives. To promote this shift and better integrate joint capability development across the Department's requirements, acquisition and resource allocation processes, the Deputy Secretary of Defense (DSD) appointed the CDRUSJFCOM as the designated Command and Control (C2) Capability Portfolio Manager (CPM). The C2 CPM has appointed the USJFCOM, J8 as the Command's Joint Capability Developer (JCD), charged with responsibility for day-to-day execution of CPM roles and responsibilities. The outcome of the JCD as the working management arm of the JC2 CPM is to develop courses of action to resource, acquire, and develop C2 related Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF) capabilities in conjunction and coordination with the Combatant Commanders, Services and Agencies. The primary outputs include: -- Coordinated, synchronized and integrated development and delivery of C2 capabilities to address Warfighting capability area gaps and shortfalls, and -- Provide systems engineering and data strategy expertise and analysis (C2 Communities of Interest (COIs) and appropriate architectures) on C2 portfolio capabilities development.
