Global Force Mgt Initative

Abstract

The Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI) is a Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) initiative to standardize force structure data, making it visible, accessible, and understandable across the Department of Defense (DoD). This initiative is accomplished through each service's Organizational Server. The Air Force Organizational Server (AFOS) consumes data from various Air Force Authoritative Data Sources (ADSs), validates it, formats it in a consistent force structure data standard, and publishes it for consumption by programs of record that use force structure data. The AFOS is the ADS for Air Force Authorized Force Structure and provides critical unit, billet, crew platform, vehicle, and command relationship data within the Air Force to the Joint Staff (J8) for war and contingency planning, by providing visibility of the entire force structure as a function of time: past, present and future. The AFOS produces consistent force structure data in the Global Force Management Information Exchange Model format that is well defined, centrally managed, and inter-operable as a standardized representation of the organization's hierarchy in all other programs of record that use force structure data. The GFM-DI AFOS integrates the four force management processes (Assignment, Manpower & Personnel, Readiness, and Allocation), and ensures the data is available to meet the needs of all Air Force, Joint, and DoD planners, warfighters, decision-makers, senior leaders and associated systems and functions. GFM-DI utilized funding to perform studies and innovative integration efforts for common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development, and mobile application. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapons system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 0.0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
