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. 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 DISA network. BTI modernizes, 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 current industry standards as they relate to technological capabilities for all voice, video and data services and are transported via each installation's infrastructure. These data services include, support for but are not limited to: Enhanced 911 (E911), 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. The ongoing focus is technology refresh and standardization on DISA Unified Capabilities (UC) (voice, video, collaboration, and data) through modernization of installation infrastructure in order to maintain connection to the DISA network. 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 the Electronic Maintenance Support System (EMSS). 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. 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 EMSS. 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, thereby improving readiness. With these capabilities, maintainers will make more informed decisions and sustain force readiness over time. GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-MARINE CORPS, (GCSS-MC)/Logistics Chain Management (LCM) is the 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 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 logistics applications. 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 is an enabler that allows operating forces commanders to base decisions on complete logistics information and make decisions in concert with specific operational tasks. Other follow-on functionalities can be invoked if affordable and when defined by the problem statements. Funding in GCSS-MC/LCM RDT&E PE 0206313M/Project 2510 transitioned to PE 0219902M/Project 5503 commencing in FY17.
