Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES)

Abstract

Joint Planning & Execution Services (JPES) is a set of critical Joint Command & Control (JC2) Global Force Management (GFM) capabilities that provide mission-enabling information systems for the planning and execution of global military operations. The JPES program consists of two operational systems: 1) Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) and 2) Joint Capabilities Requirements Manager (JCRM) and two development efforts: 1) JPES which will modernize JOPES in phase 1 and JCRM in phase 2 and 2) Joint Collaboration Tool (JCT) which will replace legacy Newsgroups. JOPES is the critical Joint Command and Control (C2) system that provides an automated force planning and execution capability necessary for simultaneous and resource-informed planning activities supporting thousands of operational users across the globe. There is no alternate capability to fulfill the JOPES' mission and there are 16 external systems across the Combatant Commands, Military Services, and Defense Agencies that are dependent on JOPES to perform their force planning and execution activities. JCRM is a web-based application and database supported by web services enabling the Global Force Management Allocation Process (GFMAP) for CCMDs to draft, staff, store, and submit force requirements for contingency plans, and operations worldwide. JCRM is vital to managing and sourcing complex global force requirements and tracking the distribution of US military forces among the CCMDs. There is no alternate capability to fulfill the JCRM mission. JCT serves as a secure messaging system that CCMDs, Military Services and Lift Providers utilize to collaborate and communicate with each other to source, validate and support requirements. Not funding JPES places the planning and execution of military operations at significant risk of mission failure. Note: GCCS-J transitioned from this BA/PE to BA-8/PE0303150K with the FY21 PB. Prior to that time PE included both GCCS-J, JOPES, and JPES.
