COCOM Direct Support, Pre-Transition, and Classified Programs
Abstract
This effort is comprised of three programs that support the entire JCTD Program, separate from the specific JCTD projects. The three programs are (1) Unified Combatant Commander (COCOM) Direct Support; (2) JCTD Pre-Transition (new in FY 2011); and (3) Program Integration Office for interagency classified projects. Additional details follow: (1) COCOM Direct Support: The COCOMs are essential in specifying capability needs, project selection, validation, demonstration, assessment, and transition of JCTDs. However, COCOM staffs are not manned to provide the daily interactions needed to develop and execute successful JCTDs. Therefore, the JCTD Program provides direct support to COCOMs, enabling the COCOMs to select and fund on-site support, typically 1-2 full-time equivalent JCTD managers. (2) JCTD Pre-Transition: In some cases, Service or Agency partners cannot commit to transition JCTD products until demonstrations and assessments are complete at the end of the JCTD. This leads to situations in which the Service or Agency transition funding is not available for 1-2 years, due to the Service or Agency prior Program Objective Memorandum commitments. In such cases, where there is clear transition and the need to sustain the capability for a short time prior to availability of Service or Agency transition funds, the JCTD Pre-Transition fund may be used to meet that need. (3) Program Integration Office: A limited number of classified JCTDs are executed in special classification channels, typically involving partnership with other government agencies. JCTD Program funds are used to provide the special classification handling capability and to provide partial funding to the selected special projects.
