MCA (Military Construction, Army) Mobilization Program Subsystem (MOBPRO): Functional Description and Subsystem Design

Abstract

Through mobilization construction programming, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for providing the facilities needed for the mobilization of the Army. To fulfill the requirement of a rapid response to a specific or changing mobilization scenario, USACE relies upon its mobilization and operations planning documents. There is no automated system now in place to allow for rapid compilation of scenario specific programming of construction projects. The Automated Mobilization Program Application Subsystem (MOBPRO) is being developed to support Military Construction, Army (MCA) programming required to ensure that mobilization is accomplished in a timely, financially responsible, and effectively scheduled manner. This document reflects the required analysis and preparation of functional requirements and a subsystem design necessary to develop a mobilization project planning subsystem. The system is intended to allow end-users to prepare and define mobilization project plans during mobilization or mobilization exercises, regardless of the timing of other external budgeting, planning and programming cycles. Upon the Army's receipt of mobilization orders, the system will merge all active and mobilization projects into listings for evaluation, prioritization, and reprogramming by each installation, Major Subordinate Command, Major Army Command, HQUSACE and finally Headquarters, Department of Army.
