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. The funding decrease from FY15 to FY16 in the Transportation Systems Portfolio is due to the completion of initial developmental efforts in accordance with program development schedule. 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. Today the 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). 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. Other follow-on capabilities can be invoked if affordable and when defined by the Business Case(s) as follow-on activities to the Business Capabilities Lifecycle documentation. JOINT FORCE REQUIREMENTS GENERATOR II (JFRG II)) is an Automated Information System (AIS) that provides the Marine Corps' the capability to plan and execute strategic force movements in support of Joint contingency and crisis action operations and plans. It serves as the single link between Service operational force requirements and validated/sourced unit personnel and cargo 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 interfaces with the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) to register update and validate deployment information within the Department of Defense chain of command. Validated deployment information is then used by U.S. Transportation Command for the scheduling of strategic transportation assets. JFRG II interfaces with the MAGTF Deployment Support System II (MDSS II) for unit cargo information and the War Reserve System (WRS) in order to register sustainment requirements. JFRG II can generate standard, executive, and ad hoc reports and perform database queries to support information requirements. 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 Marine Air Ground Task Force (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. Program renamed MAGTF Logistics Support System beginning in FY16. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS PORTFOLIO (TSP): provides funding that supports the USMC Deployment and Execution Support Systems and the Distribution Management Support Systems, and fair share cost to the joint program management office 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 radio frequency identification (aRFID) 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. Portfolio renamed Enterprise Logistics Support Systems beginning in FY16.
