4. 4 Introduction Task from the Army CIO/G-6 500-Day Strategic Goal 6: “Deliver an integrated enterprise strategy that influences Joint and Army use of Information Management and Information technology in furthering the warfighting capabilities.”

5. 5 Evolution of Battle Command Scope Common Map Display BOS based KM Cross BOS KM Intelligence OIF1OIF2 OIF3 Time Net Centric Approach From Information to Intelligence! LTG Vines, XVIII Corps CoS Examples: MSR Evaluation: Three primary MSRs in Iraq. Provide a tool that would consider time of day, week and month and provide analysis of a planned trip by MSR showing percent chance of incident based on historical data. Incident Best Response: Typical responses are used to respond to critical incidents. These responses have various measures of success and the success differs based on location. When a critical incident occurs, provide a list of responses along with their success percentage for that location.

6. 6 Adapting to Technology and Requirement Change 1.Align with Industry best practices and standards 2.Adopt proven solutions & migrate from there (CPoF, JADOCS, JIOC-I) 3.Use “Best of Breed” Web technologies with an Open Controlled Source process to enable cross development between Units and PEO C3T 4.Continuous Engineering Using adaptive processes enabling agile technology insertion Requirements / Needs C4ISR Implementation Technology Innovation ABCS 6.4 MS.NET Web Services + Network Mature 7 + 1 (ABCS GE) 3 1 2 4 ABCS 6.4 BCCS IMF BCCS – Battle Command Common Services IMF – Information Management Framework HIC / SASO TIME Capabilities Capability Convergence Graph

7. 7 Tactical Business Enterprise Services (TBES) – extending ABCS Architecture Engineering, Detailed Documentation, Accreditation\Validation, Administrator Training, HW Procurement & FSR Support Active Directory Exchange SQL Server DNS SMS/SUS Virus Protection SharePoint Portal Server integration and web-parts Real-Time Collaborative tool suites Server/System Backup, Failover and Restoration Supporting Modularity by Providing Consistent, Engineered & Supported Infrastructure Services - Microsoft Server Infrastructure 58% of ABCS 6.4 interaction relies on TBES

8. 8 CIO G6 – Interim Guidance on Microsoft Directory Services Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Guidance Overview  Generating Force SIPRNET AD Architecture: One Forest for Theater, one additional Enterprise Application forest (PEO EIS)  Deployable Force NIPRNET and SIPRNET AD Architecture: Separate Forests for each UEy, UEx, BCT, and selected UAs (PEO C3T – develop system arch & create plan)  Enterprise Directory Service (EDS) will provide the foundation for communication and integration across AD forests. (PEO EIS in coordination with PEO C3T) Provisioning solution to support moving users and services between forests XX Every unit is self supporting  Authentication and authorization service  Synchronized Global Address List  Centralized management of servers and client computers  Centralized administration of users and computers  Centralized management of network resources  Directory services for applications Forest: When one or more domains share a directory structure thus enabling centralized management of accounts, resources and security.

9. 9 Server Consolidation Objective Intermediate Present TBES & ABCS Servers not Integrated Mix of Unit and PEO provided equipment No TBES FSR support Core Services for TBES & ABCS Servers Engineered & Configured Options (ex.
