RMKS/1. PURPOSE. TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE DESIGNATION OF
USMC AS THE EA FOR GCCS JFRG II, PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE JFRG
II PROGRAM, AND PUBLISH JFRG II POCS.
2. BACKGROUND.
A. THE CJCS HAS STATED THAT IMPROVEMENTS IN STRATEGIC MOBILITY
CAPABILITY MUST BE COMPLEMENTED BY IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CAPABILITY
TO CONDUCT CRISIS ACTION PLANNING AND EXECUTION. THE JOINT PLANNING
AND EXECUTION COMMUNITY (JPEC) MUST IMPROVE THE PROCESSES AND
PROFICIENCY IN DEVELOPING, SOURCING, AND VALIDATING A TPFDD.
AT THE REQUEST OF THE CJCS, USCINCJFCOM, AS THE JOINT DEPLOYMENT
PROCESS OWNER (JDPO), EVALUATED INPUT FROM THE JPEC AND RECOMMENDED
ESTABLISHMENT OF A 72-HOUR TIME STANDARD FOR TPFDD DEVELOPMENT,
TO LEVEL FOUR DETAIL FOR THE FIRST 7 DAYS OF THE DEPLOYMENT.
B. THE JOINT REQUIREMENTS OVERSIGHT COUNCIL (JROC) DECIDED THAT
THE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATORS AUTOMATED INFORMATION FOR MOVEMENT
SYSTEM II (TC-AIMS II) WILL BE THE SINGLE JOINT SOURCE DATA SYSTEM
FOR UNIT MOVE INFORMATION FOR THE JOINT OPERATION PLANNING AND
EXECUTION SYSTEM (JOPES) AND THAT THE JFRG II WILL BE THE JOINT
SINGLE SOURCE FEEDER SYSTEM FOR UNIT MOVE INFORMATION FROM
TC-AIMS II TO JOPES. THE JROC ALSO DETERMINED THAT USMC WOULD BE
THE EA FOR THE JFRG II PROGRAM.
C. JFRG II IS A TPFDD CREATION AND EDITING APPLICATION DESIGNED
TO SATISFY DEPLOYMENT PLANNING AND EXECUTION REQUIREMENTS IN
GARRISON OR WHILE DEPLOYED, BY ACCELERATING THE DEVELOPMENT,
SOURCING, ANALYSIS, AND REFINEMENT OF PLANS RESULTING IN AN
EXECUTABLE JOPES TPFDD FILE. JFRG II IS APPLICABLE TO DELIBERATE
PLANNING, CRISIS ACTION PLANNING, AND EXERCISE PLANNING.
IT IS EQUALLY VALUABLE FOR BOTH DEPLOYMENT AND REDEPLOYMENT.
TC-AIMS II AND JFRG II ARE INTERIM PROGRAMS INTENDED TO PROVIDE
TPFDD CREATION AND EDITING CAPABILITY PENDING DEVELOPING AND
FIELDING OF FUTURE JOINT DEPLOYMENT SYSTEMS.
D. THE MAGTF II PROGRAM PROVIDES THE “BACKBONE”
FOR THE JFRG II PROGRAM AND INCLUDES MANY FEATURES OF THE
USMC PLANNING TOOL. ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE THE JFRG II PROGRAM OF
INSTRUCTION (POI) IS BASED ON THE MAGTF II POI, EWTGLANT WILL SERVE
AS THE INTERIM TRAINING FACILITY FOR THE JFRG II TRAINING COURSE.
FOR THESE REASONS IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT FIELDING AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF JFRG II WILL HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE USMC PLANNING COMMUNITY.
FIELDING SCHEDULES AND TRAINING INFORMATION ON JFRG II COURSES AND
QUOTAS WILL BE PUBLISHED SHORTLY VIA SEPARATE CORRESPONDENCE.
