GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM (GCSS)

GCSS (CC/JTF) is an initiative that provides end-to-end visibility of retail and unit level Combat Support (CS) capability up through National Strategic Level, facilitating information interoperability across and between CS and Command and Control functions. In conjunction with other Global Information Grid elements including Global Command and Control System-Joint, Defense Information Systems Network, Defense Message System, Computing Services, and Combatant Commands/Services/Agencies information architectures, GCSS (CC/JTF) will provide the information technology capabilities required to move and sustain joint forces throughout the spectrum of military operations.

GCSS (CC/JTF) supports the Combatant Commanders and their assigned Joint Task Forces by providing access to comprehensive logistics information from authoritative data sources. This access provides the warfighter with a single, end-to-end capability to manage and monitor units, personnel and equipment through all stages of the mobilization process. By providing access to high-level integrated information, GCSS (CC/JTF) enhances the ability of Combatant Command and JTF Commanders to make timely, informed decisions based on the near real-time or predicted status of his resources.
