Management of the Global Command and Control System.

Abstract

Global Command and Control System (GCCS) software version 2.0 was planned for installation in March 1995 without adequate testing to verify that it was operational. The GCCS is an integral part of the implementation of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C41) for the Warrior. The GCCS is the planned DoD-wide system for the command and control function for the unified commands and the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and will replace the World Wide Military Command and Control System. The announced audit objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the C41 for the Warrior concept in achieving joint interoperability. Specifically, we evaluated the GCCS program because it implements the command and control segment of the C41 for the Warrior concept. We also evaluated the effectiveness of management controls for the GCCS program.
