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/ Logistics Chain Management (GCSS-MC/LCM) ) family of systems (FoS) serves as primary technology enabler for the Marine Corps Logistics Modernization strategy. GCSS-MC/LCM provides the backbone for all logistics information required by the Marine Forces and the Supporting Establishment. The core for GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 is a modern, commercial-off-the-shelf enterprise resource planning software (Oracle e-Business Suite). The Increment 1 design focused on enabling the warfighter to operate while deployed with reach back from the battlefield. Increment 1 replaced 5 legacy supply and maintenance information technology systems and currently supports ~22,000 users world-wide. The focus of future functions will be enhancing capabilities in the areas of warehousing, distribution, logistics planning, decision support, depot maintenance, and integration with emerging technologies to improve asset visibility.The Tactical-Warehouse Management System (T-WMS) capability development is support by these funds.in GCSS-MC, RDTE PE 0206313M, project 2510 will transition to PE 0219902M Project C5503 commencing in FY2017. 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 deployments 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 Time Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD) 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 and teleconferencing. ENTERPRISE LOGISTICS SUPPORT SYSTEMS (ELS2): 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 ELS2 applications utilize Automated Information Technology (AIT) read/write devices, active radio frequency identification (aRFID) tags and satellite tracking systems. ELS2 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. This developmental effort completed in FY17 and requires no FY18 funding. MAGTF LOGISTICS SUPPORT SYSTEMS (MLS2): Composed of several main components including Electronic Maintenance Devices (EMD). It is a rugged organizational-level (O-level), light-weight, one-man portable maintenance device capable of supporting multiple platforms and systems across maintenance communities. It provides a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware device equipped with 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), and other maintenance applications to be hosted on EMD platforms. EMSS also has the capability to connect to the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) and access sites like Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) in order to facilitate maintenance and supply transactions. With these capabilities, maintainers will make more informed decisions, thereby sustaining force readiness over time. The increase in funding from FY17 to FY18 of $267K continues technical support towards wireless connectivity of host application to maintenance platform tools for the following MOSs: AAV mechanics, Ordnance mechanics, Motor-T mechanics, and LAV mechanics.
