Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps (GCSS-MC)

Abstract

GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-MARINE CORPS (GCSS-MC)/Logistics Chain Management (LCM) 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 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. 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 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 capabilities can be invoked if affordable and when defined by the problem statements. Funding in GCSS-MC/LCM RDT&E PE 0206313M/Project 2510 for Tactical - Warehouse Management System transitioned to PE 0219902M/Project 5503 commencing in FY17. The funding increase of $8.047M from FY16 to FY17 is due to the initiation of Tactical - Warehouse Management System (T-WMS) development.
