The Joint Staff, C4 Directorate

The Joint Staff, C4 Directorate
(Command, Control, Communications, and Computers) Good Morning. Mr. Loescher, we appreciate the opportunity to come out here to AFCEA and present some hopefully useful and relevant information to the C4ISR course. As you may imagine, any chance for getting get away from the phones, the meetings, the , the deadlines…we call it the Pentagon Salt Mine - is a welcome change of pace for us. Commander Hunt and I are relatively new to the Joint Staff, but we were definitely ready to get away if only for a morning… Up front, let me offer the one “take away” from this briefing that you should not forget...

Mission/Vision JCS J6 Organization J6 Focus CINC J6’s Challenges
AGENDA Mission/Vision JCS J6 Organization J6 Focus CINC J6’s Challenges I understand this course is a “once over” on C4 ISR for the warrior. Here is a quick overview of what we intend to share with you today. First, how do we support the CINCs, or what I would characterize as “what we do in J6U”. Second, a brief orientation on Joint Vision 2010, the strategic direction that we in the C4 community must work towards. I will also use this time to share some thoughts on Information Superiority as a key Enabler of Joint Vision 2010, as well as a to briefly discuss the concept of a Global Information Grid. Next, Commander Hunt will take you back to the “reality zone” by covering today’s C4 issues for each of the nine CINCs, and back to me for a short discussion on the types of C4 issues that are common among the collective CINC-doms. Finally, a short piece on C2 Assessment to show the process for getting a pulse check on C4 issues and then how we effectively deal with them. We have a lot of ground to cover in this hour, but hopefully, “Runt”, that’s his CallSign, and I - can’t repeat what they call me - hopefully, we will provide some useful information from the Joint Staff perspective as well as the Warfighting CINCs.

J6 MISSION PROVIDE CJCS ADVICE ON C4 MATTERS
SUPPORT WARFIGHTERS FROM CINC TO SHOOTER IN JOINT AND COMBINED MILITARY OPERATIONS LEAD C4 COMMUNITY OVERSEE C4 SUPPORT FOR NATIONAL MILITARY COMMAND SYSTEM (NMCS) The J6 directorate mission is as shown. The Director for Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C4) Systems provides advice and recommendations to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as directed, on C4 matters Secondly the J6 provides support to warfighters at all echelons, from the Commander in Chief level down to actual trigger pullers. The J6 is teamed with the CINC’s, Services, Agencies and Industry to advance information technologies to satisfy warfighter requirements. J6 also leads the C4 community by providing strategic vision that conceptualizes future C4 systems architectures and provides direction to improve joint C4 systems. And finally the J6 is responsible for overseeing the C4 support for the National Military Command System (NMCS). This includes the National Military Command Center (NMCC) here in the Pentagon, the National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP), and such other command centers as may be designated by the Secretary of Defense. The NMCS also includes connectivity between its centers and the headquarters of the combatant commands, services ops centers and major intelligence analysis, and indication and warning centers.

J6 VISION UNCLASSIFIED OBJECTIVE THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS FOUNDATION
How do we overcome the challenge? Obviously before embarking on such an undertaking, there must be a plan or road map. The Vision of the J6 is that road map First we must ensure the Global Information Grid (GIG) concept is firmly routed in strategy, policy, and doctrine. Concurrent with incorporating the GIG concept into strategy, policy and doctrine, we as a military culture must change our thinking. The emergence of the U.S. military as a smaller more capable fighting force demands that we fight as a joint or combined team. With fewer resources, services are combining standards, testing and acquisition to find common ground. Future systems must meet strict interoperable standards. By replacing systems reaching the end of their life cycle with newer, interoperable systems, using the best systems and cost effective procurement practices, our C4I architecture will transform into a viable, regenerating system. The objective is to reach a C4I system that is seamless, tailored, interoperable and compatible. Our goal is to be fluid enough to adapt rapidly to a changing environment, yet rigid enough to provide stability when the need arises.

J6Z CONTINGENCY SUPPORT
COORDINATES C4 ASPECTS OF CRISIS, CONTINGENCY, OR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS PROVIDES OPERATIONAL DIRECTION OF MILSATCOM SYSTEMS AND COORDINATES MILSATCOM ACCESS MANAGES THE JOINT COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT ELEMENT (JCSE) The contingency Support division of the J6 is similar to the current operations division in many commands. The J6Z provides C4 staff support in response to a crisis, contingency, or emergency situation on a world-wide basis. The Contingency Support Branch is divided into two distinct functional areas. First, the daily contingency group monitors and responds to any CINC’s request for communications support. As part of their taskings, the contingency operations group directly supports the National Military Command Center (NMCC) in times of federal, national or global crisis. The contingency operations group also has representatives on the Crisis Action Team and Terrorist Action teams of the J-3; supports the plans division of the J-7, and lends direct support to the CINCs during the development of contingency plans. The second section of the contingency support division is the Joint Communications Satellite Center (JCSC). The JCSC functions as the CJCS focal point for operational direction of all MILSATCOM systems --one stop shopping for satellite communications access. J6Z also verifies requirements for the Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE). The JCSE, located at MacDill AFB in Florida, is a CJCS controlled asset. The mission of the JCSE is to provide short term, long haul communications connectivity to a commander in response to a crisis or contingency. UNCLASSIFIED

MANAGES GCCS PROGRAM GCCS IS THE C2 MIGRATION SYSTEM TRAINING, SECURITY, INFORMATION SHARING, COE J6V’s job is GCCS - even though it’s replaced WWMCCs, GCCS continues to evolve. J6V insures GCCS takes the best functionality from CINC and Service systems and interfaces/integrates them into a common operating environment (COE). As the COE grows, duplication in CINC and Service systems decreases. Each GCCS user is able to pull common functionality and data from GCCS. GCCS is being fielded using an evolutionary approach. J6V operates in parallel vice serial with user feedback supplying the backbone of the process. They field in small increments and rely on users’ direct feedback rather than lengthy requirements documents. This way, investment increments are small. GCCS is the path towards which all Command and Control systems must migrate. Aspects of training, security, information sharing, and the development of a common operating environment continue to be addressed.

Immature theater - although we’ve been in the Sandbox for nearly 10 years, this is still a developing AOR It has mostly tactical/deployable comms infrastructure Current equipment and technology but not as robust as fixed, long haul infrastructure Must improve intra- and inter-theater infrastructure Although this is a fairly wealthy corner of the world it has a fairly limited fixed/commercial infrastructure. And what is out there isn’t “OUT THERE”where we are. CENTCOM has some fiber cable installed but not sufficient for JTF support Working host nation for SATCOM install and use Host Nation issues. Because of social/political sensitivities, CENTCOM must provide an invisible presence yet pose a visible deterrent to potentially hostile nations Training and interoperability exercises must be balanced against continuing real world operations. However, CENTCOM does continue with regular coalition exercises. CENTCOM Recently completed Exercise OPERATION BRIGHT STAR in Egypt. BRIGHT STAR is a biannual modeling and simulation exercise to validate wartime operational mission requirements. We had a J6U observer at the exercise. His initial report indicates that the pyramids are still standing and that the exercise was a success. UNCLASSIFIED

USEUCOM Real World Operations Kosovo B/H Joint Forge (SFOR)
More JTFs than all other CinCs combined C4 Infrastructure Mature theater but aging tactical infrastructure Heavily reliant on commercial infrastructure Interoperability NATO/Coalition Partners COMSEC HNA SPECTRUM Real World Operations C4 Infrastructure The Drawdown in Europe forced a consolidation of assets rather than new investment Interoperability Must maintain interoperability with US forces as well as many, many allied and coalition forces from withing and outside its AOR. If you recall the Joint Forge slides Eric showed earlier, you can see the challenges EUCOM has with interoperability The close relationship that EUCOM has with its partners highlights issues with releasability of classified information and sharing of COMSEC -- with so many partners using US COMSEC, when does the quest for interoperability pose an information security problem? Like all CinCs, EUCOM has to deal with Host Nation Agreements for install of C4 infrastructure and for leasing commercial communications paths. Fortunately for EUCOM, the commercial infrastructure is very robust, however is expensive and issue of current versus future allies/coalition partners is something we cannot ignore. Spectrum Sell-off As with all CinCs, spectrum sell off is a real problem. EUCOM is working with all Host Nations on specturm sell-off. Is meeting with varying levels of success -- for some reason Turkey is a continuing problem. Y2K EUCOM lists Y2K as an issue in that its bases are heavily dependent on local Y2K preparations. EUCOM is working the Y2K issue with Host Nations and has prepared its installations and infrastructure but must be prepared for possible Y2K related impacts. UNCLASSIFIED

USSOCOM Provide SOF support to CinCs
Coordinate and advocate SOF C4I systems support Process involves SOCOM components (USASOC, JSOC, AFSOC, NAVSPECWAR) and Theater SOC components of geographic CinCs (SOCCENT, SOCACOM, SOCPAC, etc) Support SOCOM C4I strategy Identify and refine requirements for SOF-unique C4I systems Ensure that joint C4 systems either directly support or can be adapted to JSOTF requirements Take maximum advantage of commercial communications in addition to the DISN MFP 11 - The "Special" Fund Coordinate Service sponsor and DoD funding strategies & priorities While SOCOM employs some common, Joint C4 systems, it develops and fields many SOF specific (Read BLACK) systems. SOCOM is heavily reliant on commercial infrastructures. Its forces must be able to plug-and-play anywhere in the world. This requirement poses some interoperability issues that the 40 pound heads have to deal with. SCAMPI (not an ACRONYM) -- SOF tri-band commercial access MFP-11 is designed for SOF unique acquisition only. Services often think SOCOM will fund regular equipment purchases but is not supposed to be the case. UNCLASSIFIED

USTRANSCOM Component Commands
Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) Military Sealift Command (MSC) Air Mobility Command (AMC) Top C4 priority is Global Transportation Network (GTN) GTN provides the in-transit visibility needed to ensure end-to-end tracking and delivery of cargo, patients, or other pipeline assets Second C4 priority is GCCS TRANSCOM was early user of GCCS as operational system. Programmatic issues may adversely impact operational capability. This is not your fathers supply system. The “Focused Logistics” segment of Joint Vision 2010 brings high level attention and dollars to the transportation world. Global Command and Control System (GCCS) TRANSCOM was and continues to be a driving force behind GCCS. TRANSCOM is the largest user of GCCS because of their role in executing the Time Phased Force Deployment Database (TPFDD) which is loaded into and monitored through GCCS. TRANSCOM relies heavily on GCCS in its day-to-day, exercise, and contingency/war deployment operations Global Transportation Network (GTN) The Global Transportation Network (GTN) is an umbrell name for several GCCS applications that provides the warfighter with easy access to information on and the status of people and supplies in the transportation process. It provides in-transit visibility not only on where the box is, FEDEX can do that, but also, on what is in the box. This capability is not yet fully fielded, but continuing development will bring it to reality. It is an on-going program development and acquisition with more functionality coming on-line with each software release. GTN is the system that helps TRANSCOM get the right stuff to the right place at the right time… which is the essence of Focused Logistics. Sub-Components: Worldwide Port System: Supports terminal management and cargo documentation missions. Replaces four systems. Joint Air Logistics Information System: On-line scheduling and management system for Operational Support Aircraft, flight prioritization and scheduling UNCLASSIFIED

USSTRATCOM The CINC’s and J6’s Priorities Today Milstar Transition
Nuclear Connectivity Bombers, Subs, Ground and Airborne Command Posts Defense Messaging System (DMS) -EAM dissemination STRATCOM is the Dominoes Pizza man of the military -- delivery anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less or the next one’s free. Transition from DSCS to MILSTAR will provide STRATCOM with jam resistant secure communications, will free up bandwidth for tactical users on DSCS. TALK to Milstar. Replacement of EC-135 airborne command post (ABNCP) with E-6B TACAMO which will fill dual role as TACAMO and ABNCP Extremely low frequency (ELF) system which provides survivable connectivity to SSBNs has long been a Congressional target and will likely be an annual issue for continued funding. The Defense Messaging system will replace DoD’s legacy record message system with an -like system. STRATCOM has some concerns with the new system and its ability to deliver Emergency Action Messages in a timely manner. UNCLASSIFIED

USSPACECOM Integrated Threat Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA)
Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) MILSATCOM MILSTAR: Recent launch failure and schedule delays UHF Follow-on Computer Network Defense/Attack (CND/CNA) Assumed CND October 1, 1999 CNA October 1, 2000 Integrated Threat Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) DSP constellation is rapidly aging. Spaced Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) will replace. Two-tiered system with much greater fidelity and capabilities to replace DSP and improve TBM ITW / AA capability MILSATCOM Our MILSATCOM constellations are aging and replacing it is very expensive. Recent launch failures and schedule delays are an issue. MILSTAR provides protected communications at about 1 Billion per shot. Advanced EHF will provide increased capacity/capabilities in FY06 timeframe. UFO is showing its age. Looking at several options including “Advanced UFO”, gap-fillers, and commercial options. More fielding of Demand Assignment Multiple Access (DAMA) units will ease burden on these systems. Wide-band systems are proving a success. More launches of this “commercial-Direct TV-like”system in FY timeframe will increase data flow to tactical warfighters. CND/CNA SPACECOM assumed mission for CND 1 OCT 99 and will assume CNA in OCT 00. This is a new and growing mission for US military. Doctrine is written but Rules of Engagement are still in development. SPACE is trying to nail this Jell-O to the wall. UNCLASSIFIED

NORAD Bi-National Command (US and Canada)
Mission is air and space warning and control for North America C2 Modernization of Region / Sector Ops Centers NORAD Battle Management Initiative GCCS Releasability Canadian Access to SIPRNET C2 Connectivity and Interoperability Link 16 for Joint and Combined Ops (Maritime / Air / ADA) Comms Above 650 N Lat Supporting ANR and CANR Ballistic & Cruise Missile Defense Requirements Develop / Refine CONOPS to Detect, Track and Engage Sustain / Upgrade ITW / AA NORAD was established in 1958 with the mission to provide air and space warning of an attack on North America. That mission continues today but NORAD finds itself engaged in the war on drugs as well. NORAD forces do not conduct law enforcement operations but track suspected narco-traffickers and pass that informatin on to appropriate authorities. Modernization of NORAD Region/Sector Ops Centers An ongoing funding battle. Working interoperability issues within US forces and with Canadian forces. Releasability of classified information is a stumbling block for NORAD. Forces a cumbersome adaptation of GCCS. NORAD Battle Management CIF Integrates CTAPs, JMCIS, and other applications through GCCS to generate the NORAD (GCCS) Battle Management System. Ballistic and Cruise Missile Defense Developing technology to detect and track all classes of Ballistic Missiles. Cruise Missiles are particularly difficult with proliferation of cruise missile and stealth technology. Now this has been a whirlwind tour through the CinCs. You may have noticed some common issues among the CinC-doms. For those of you who have been in your “happy place” Eric will bring this all together. He will summarize some common challenges then take us through the Defense Planning Guidance Process. This is an important process to take away from this morning’s brief. So please come back from the Bahamas, or wherever, and Give Lt Col Rolaf your undivided attention. UNCLASSIFIED

What the Warrior Needs:
UNCLASSIFIED OUR CHALLENGE INFOSPHERE What the Warrior Needs: A fused real time, true representation of the Warrior’s battle space; an ability to order, respond and coordinate horizontally and vertically to the degree necessary to prosecute his mission in that battle space. Warfighter communications has always posed challenges - interoperability, speed, accuracy, and availability, to name a few The C4IFTW concept began with the vision of Admiral Macke in 1992 while he was the J6. Following the Gulf War, Admiral Macke, and each service recognized the need for total interoperability. Achieving interoperability enables U.S. forces to conduct operations in concert--in tune and on beat. The enduring objective of C4IFTW is to realize a seamless integration of information and knowledge that provides a shared vision of the battle space toward the realization of commonly understood information--the “infosphere.” .The battle space incorporates the commander’s view of ground, air, maritime, space and special operation being conducted in that area in which the warrior desires to exercise control. The battle space picture provides horizontal and vertical communications and exchange of information utilizing a Common Operating Environment (COE). BATTLESPACE
