Supporting U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) Need for Global Visibility Capability (GVC)

Abstract

CONTEXT: The Last 20 Years -- Effective force management is more important now than during the Cold War (Largely static-->highly dynamic military -- Inventory of people in uniform has been cut by 1/3 -- In the Information Age, data (not weapons systems) is the key combat multiplier). In March 2004, three unrelated events occurred: (1) Office of the Secretary of Defense published Strategic Planning Guidance (SPG) 2006-2011; (2) Office of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) published CJCS Instruction 3170.01D and CJCS Manual 3170.01A, both on the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS); (3) Secretary of Defense designated JFCOM as primary joint force provider (JFP); JFCOM eventually requested resources to meet the new mission. PROBLEM: To improve JFCOM J33 ability to fulfill its primary joint force provider role with better data accuracy and respond more quickly than today. SCOPE of today's briefing: Describe processes used in functional area analysis (FAA), functional needs analysis (FNA), and functional solution analysis (FSA).
