GFM DI Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) Integration
Abstract
GFM DI Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) Integration effort provides the next steps for GFM Mission Application enhancements intrinsic to balancing Global Force Demand against the Total Military Force. This is complex, multi-variant and requires modernized technologies that must provide integrated information by linking authoritative force structure data (derived from the GFM DI Organizational Servers) to C2 data (resident in GFM Mission Applications). The Joint Staff Operations Directorate (J3) is the functional leader for GFM Allocation and GFM Mission Applications. Accordingly, TJS will employ a joint strategy for efficiently fulfilling Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) data utility. The DoD must quickly transition from legacy systems that promulgate data disparity across the Defense enterprise in order to meet the National Military Objectives that have evolved from large force scenarios to operations that include small-to-full scale activities. As stated in both the NSS and NMS, our adversaries demonstrate the ability to adapt to kinetic or non-kinetic terrain. Consequently, Information Technology (IT) superiority, capabilities, and recognition of associated vulnerabilities are an operational imperative. Yet, warfighters, strategic planners and GFM decision makers are unable to seamlessly exchange information in a manner that keeps pace with globally changing threats to rapidly and accurately accomplish force sourcing activities to support SecDef allocation decisions. TJS is mandated to utilize the Service Org Server (OS) Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) data to enhance managing, assessing, and displaying the worldwide disposition of U.S. forces. Key deliverables include incrementally developed, operationally realistic capability enhancements focused on Resource-Informed Planning and GFM sourcing functionality required by JROCM 111-14, the Capability Development Document (CDD) for Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI); JROCM 073-13, Joint Command and Control (JC2) Capability Definition Package (CDP); Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) and Assessment CDP; and Force Planning & Deployment Planning/Execution CDP.
