GFM DI Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) Integration

Abstract

Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI) Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) integration effort provides the next steps for GFM mission application enhancements required to balance global force demand against available military force. This complex and multi-variant task requires modernized technologies that provide integrated information 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 is responsible for GFM allocation and is the functional manager of the GFM mission applications. Accordingly, the Joint Staff will employ a strategy for efficiently fulfilling Enterprise Force Structure (EFS) data utility. The DoD must quickly transition from legacy force management systems that promulgate data disparity across the Defense enterprise in order to meet 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 readily transition from non-kinetic to kinetic means. 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 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. The Joint Staff is mandated to utilize the Service’s Organizatonal Server 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 JROCMs, the Capability Development Document (CDD) for GFM DI; Joint Command and Control (JC2) Capability Definition Package (CDP); Joint Operation Planning Process (JOPP) and Assessment CDP; and Force Planning & Deployment Planning/Execution CDP.
