GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM – JOINT

GCSS-J is an information technology (IT) application that uses a service oriented architecture to deliver visibility of Combat Support (CS) capability to the joint logistician (i.e., essential capabilities, functions, activities, and tasks necessary to sustain all elements of operating forces in theater at all levels), facilitating information interoperability across and between CS and Command and Control (C2) functions. 

GCSS-J 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-J 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.

MISSION

To rapidly provide capabilities that support the Combatant Command and Joint Task Force Commanders plan, execute, and control logistics operations throughout the spectrum of military operations.
