MAGTF CSSE & SE
Abstract
(U) The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Combat Service Support Element & Supporting Establishment (CSSE & SE) consists of mutually supporting Logistics Information Technology (IT) programs that support force deployment, planning, and execution; sustainment and distribution; and contributes to the Combatant Commander's Common Operating Picture to support rapid accurate decision making. GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-MARINE CORPS (GCSS-MC) is the physical implementation of the enterprise Information Technology (IT) architecture designed to support both improved and enhanced Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Combat Support Services (CSS) functions and MAGTF Commander and Combatant Commanders/Joint Task Force (CC/JTF) combat support information requirements. The initial program includes all transactional CSS systems related to Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) functionality enabled with Service Management functions. When combined, these capabilities are referred to as Logistics Chain Management (LCM) or GCSS-MC/LCM. The primary goal of GCSS-MC/LCM is to provide the capabilities specified in the Logistics Operational Architecture (Log OA). The result of enabling the Log OA is the retirement of legacy applications. The GCSS-MC/LCM exposes timely mission information to Marine Corps operational and CSS commanders, CC/JTF commanders and their staffs and other authorized users. It exposes information interoperability and common logistics information applications and services across functional areas. GCSS-MC/LCM allows operating forces commanders to base decisions on complete logistics information and make decisions in concert with specific operational tasks. The GCSS-MC/LCM program will upgrade from the current Oracle EBS 11.5.10 application and all customizations to Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) Release 12. The (EBS) Release 12 critical refresh and technical insertion will provide a secure sustainable system with increased operational efficiency. JOINT FORCE REQUIREMENTS GENERATOR II (JFRG II) is a Global Command and Control System (GCCS) software application designed to provide DOD with a Joint Services, state-of-the-art, integrated, and deployable Automated Information System (AIS) that supports strategic force movements. JFRG II provides rapid development of force data to satisfy operational planning and execution requirements. It serves as the essential link between service force requirements and validated/sourced unit data. JFRG II permits multi-level planning with entry of equipment and personnel data, transportation/movement data, and the phasing of the total force throughout the entire movement timeline. JFRG II contains an exhaustive joint data library and interfaces directly with the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES). JFRG II can generate standard, executive, and ad hoc reports, perform database queries, and export or import data from Transportation Coordinators' Automated Information for Movement System (TC-AIMS) II, MAGTF Deployment Support System (MDSS) II, War Reserve System (WRS) and JOPES. JFRG II operates and functions in a classified environment. BASE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE (BTI) provides all Marine Corps installations with the base area network communications infrastructure that connects the end-user to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) network. BTI sustains upgrades and enhances the telecommunications systems infrastructure for all Marine Corps Installations in order to meet the demands required to support the 5th Element of the MAGTF. BTI is designed to maintain industry currency as it relates to technological capabilities for all voice, video and data transport services via each installation's infrastructure. These data services include support for but are not limited to: telephony (including voice over internet protocol), video-teleconferencing, integrated services digital network, Marine Corps enterprise network, energy monitoring control systems, intrusion detection systems, access control systems, fire alarm control networks and fleet training systems. This includes supporting systems such as optical networks, telecommunications management systems, primary power, voice mail, teleconferencing, and outside plant infrastructure. ELECTRONIC MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SYSTEM (EMSS) is composed of several main components including Electronic Maintenance Devices (EMD), regional servers, deployment servers, charger racks, and ruggedized deployment cases. EMSS is a rugged organizational-level (O-level), light-weight, one-man portable maintenance device capable of supporting multiple platforms and systems across maintenance communities. EMSS provides a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware device equipped with network interfaces, Built-In-Test/Built-In-Test Equipment (BIT/BITE) interfaces, and Software Defined Test Instrument (SDTI) General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) capabilities. These hardware capabilities will enable commercial or custom DoD and USMC software capabilities including Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs), Computer Based Training (CBT), access to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) over USMC networks, and other maintenance applications to be hosted on EMSS. With these capabilities, maintainers will make more informed decisions, thereby sustaining force readiness over time. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS PORTFOLIO (TSP): provides funding that supports the USMC Deployment and Execution Support Systems and the Distribution Management Support Systems. These systems and applications support the planning, deployment, distribution, sustainment and redeployment of supplies, equipment and personnel. The TSP portfolio applications utilize AIT read/write devices, active and passive radio frequency identification (aRFID/pRFID) tags and satellite tracking systems. TSP applications support In-Transit Visibility (ITV) and Total Asset Visibility (TAV) initiatives to provide commanders with timely and accurate near real-time data on the location and movement of personnel, equipment and supplies that are in-process, in-transit and in-theater.
