Turnkey Command and Control C2
Abstract
Primary OUTCOME (objective) for this effort is to improve readiness of designated JTF HQs for their Command and Control (C2) systems by using an established and proven, repeatable methodology to assist designated Joint Task Force (JTF) Headquarters (HQ) in identifying gaps and shortfalls and facilitate the sourcing of the shortfalls in the joint command and control equipping portions of their forming process. This effort also includes C2 Capability Portfolio Management JTF HQ Focus Integration Team and Enabling Mission Partners support for capturing gaps in JTF HQ organization/manpower/training/C2 systems which may be closed and other potential means to raise the readiness level of current and future JTF Capable HQs and improve their ability to operate with mission partners. The JTF Core Architecture, consisting of Increment 1 (JTF HQ), Increment 2 (JTF Functional Component Commands), and Increment 3 (Multinational and Interagency) architectures provide support to the JTF Command and Control Equipping process, and serve as a key aspect for many of the architectural efforts. Focuses and refines Command and Control (C2) systems, applications, and telecommunications requirements for JTF HQ to increase readiness of the JTF HQ formation. To assist Multinational Architectural Initiatives analysis is conducted and architectures are developed to better enable non-DOD partners to share information. This objective also includes reviewing JCIDS integrated architectures for J8 to ensure integration and interoperability at the operational and tactical level. This objective supports Improved, integrated, interoperable, and net-enabled joint force and Reduction in duplicative C2 systems/programs across the DoD portfolio. JTF HQ Command and Control Equipping Process support the QDR 2006 and the Unified Command Plan 2008 task to the CDRUSJFCOM to certify the readiness of assigned HQ Staffs designated to perform as a JTF HQ. The JTF HQ C2 Equipping Process provides a flexible and tailorable 6-step process that uses the JTF HQ C2 Baseline Templates and Architectures augmented by additional specialized architecture products and staff assistance visits for the designated JTF HQ. The JTF HQ Templates provide the JTF HQ with Joint Manning Documents (JMDs) and C2 Baseline Template and Architectures that lay out the historically required and doctrinally-based capabilities, requirements and manning, in addition to systems, applications, and network requirements, including telecommunications and VTC capabilities, for various types of JTF HQ operations. Current Templates address the range of types of military operations such as Major Combat Operations (MCO), Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), Disaster Relief and Foreign Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief (FHA/DR), and Crisis Response and Limited Contingency Operations (Stability Operations), and provide a starting point for the JTF Commander's forming and planning process. USJFCOM personnel work with the designated JTF HQ to help define their unique capabilities required capabilities using the Templates as a starting point, and then analyze and compare current capabilities to determine existing shortfalls and gaps. JTF HQ C2 Equipping Process personnel works with the JTF HQ to assist them in identifying their C2 capabilities and equipping solutions and determines and recommends associated sourcing options for shortfalls. JTF HQ C2 Equipping Process personnel have posted the templates and C2 and Battlespace Awareness architectures on the US SIPRNET that serves as a repository site for the JTF CDR and Staff to access the JTF HQ Templates as well as JFCOM and other selected organization and agency-produced information and products. A USJFCOM cross-directorate working group is using established processes to support sustaining the readiness phase of Commander, Second Fleet (C2F) JTF HQ Certification, the prepare and certify phases for 20th Support Command as JTF-Elimination, and has supported USCENTCOM in their certification for USNAVCENT/5th Fleet and other selected designated Service HQs as appropriate.
