Global Combat Support System

Abstract

The Global Combat Support System-Joint (GCSS-J), in conjunction with other Global Information Grid elements including Global Command and Control System-Joint, Defense Information Systems Network, Computing Services, and Combatant Commands/Services/Agencies information architectures, will provide the Information Technology (IT) capabilities required to move and sustain joint forces throughout the full spectrum of military operations. GCSS-J enables the joint logistics warfighter in Combatant Commands and Joint Task Forces to conduct operations in a complex, interconnected, and increasingly global operational environment. The joint logistic warfighters are responsible for planning, executing, and controlling core logistics capabilities. The joint logisticians understand the tactical, operational, and strategic support requirements and synchronize the efforts to effectively meet joint force requirements. GCSS-J provides asset visibility from disparate authoritative data sources to provide the warfighter an integrated picture of the battlespace. GCSS-J provides web-based capabilities in a net-centric environment to provide information to authorized users regardless of geographic location.
