Installation Support Modules

Abstract

Installation Support Modules (ISM) consists of four standardized, web based, custom-developed enterprise wide applications that integrate essential installation business practices and processes throughout the Army, to meet Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) Brigade Combat Team readiness and deployment requirements. Three modules support human resources business functions (In/Out-Processing, Transition Processing, and Personnel Locator); the fourth module, Central Issue Facility (CIF) supports management of over $9 billion combatant Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment inventory. The web server architecture is fully internet protocol capable and allows soldiers ready access to their records and commanders and logisticians access to information affecting readiness of combat organizations. U.S. Army Coalition Interoperability Assurance and Validation (CIAV) Research Network provides an enduring and agile capability to execute approved processes and provide and maintain a repeatable and persistent infrastructure within the assurance and validation Coalition partner environment designed to ensure the succinct exchange of critical mission data between Mission Partners throughout all phases of military operations and enable the Army's implementation of Mission Partner Environment (MPE) and Combined-Joint All Domain Command and Control. CIAV uses a mission-based interoperability approach to identify capabilities, limitations and associated operational impacts and provides recommendations to improve or resolve information exchange issues between the U.S. Army and its mission partners. Funding facilitates coalition interoperability information exchange issue in compliance with AR 34-1 Multinational Force Interoperability and DODI 8110.01, Mission Partner Environment (MPE) Information Sharing Capability Implementation for the DOD. Army Behavioral Health Integrated Data Environment (ABHIDE) will be the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (CHPPM) Suicide Registry. Data relating to suicides and suicide attempts are collected and stored in disparate, non-related databases that cross the domains of medical, personnel and law enforcement. ABHIDE will provide the capability of integrating the non-related and dispersed data from the separate sources into a single comprehensive database to support both retrospective and predictive analysis. The information obtained will be used to conduct epidemiological surveillance, identify trends in behavior patterns and identify potential indicators for suicidal tendencies supporting the mitigation of future suicide attempts across all phases of Army service. ISM Core funding is essential for supporting demands to research and develop improved systems to provide for soldier safety and inventory reduction without risking readiness. Funding supports research and development to comply with Department of Defense Instruction 8320.4 Serialized Item Management. Applications to use commercial off the shelf wireless bar code equipment to ensure inventory accuracy throughout 154 warehouses in worldwide locations potentially reduces operating costs by $500.0 million.
