6. Deployed Globally 6
ARMY TEAM C4ISR personnel are deployed throughout the globe providing Army-wide support to ARFORGEN and direct support to the warfighter.
World wide 3785 personnel deployed (over 3200 are contractors) (127 are permanent party DACs)
Personnel - Data
G1 report dtd 27 Jul 09:
252 Military
11,865 DA Civilians Assigned to Team C4ISR (CECOM, CERDEC, PEO C3T, PEO IEW&S, PEO EIS) Worldwide
127 are stationed in 7 foreign countries (permanent duty assignment)
Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, UK
Contractors: represent over 90% of the in-theater support (SPOT), but are not accounted for in civilian personnel 11,865 population. If we could account for all classes of contractor support, the workforce number would grow by thousands across Team C4ISR.
Theater Support and USF/RESET present a challenging balancing of effort and resources. We are involved, full circle, from developing and fielding new equipment to deploying units and repairing, replacing and updating equipment as units return from deployment

8. Team C4ISR Members 8 The rather plain org chart I show you here is another attempt to illustrate what the Lifecycle Management concept and Army Team C4ISR are, and how we all interact to support the Joint Warfighter.
It is not any one team member organization that does it all. So let me briefly introduce the team starting with the PEOs we have:
C3T – WIN-T and Command Posts are the bedrock of C3T’s efforts to provide spectrum dominance in command and control to the warfighter
EIS – Provides among many other enterprise capabilities, small computer support and satellite communications technologies to our forces
IEW&S – provides the intelligence systems, such as DCGS-A, as well as numerous force protection system to counter the ever present IED threat our forces face in Iraq and Afghanistan
The RDECOM’s CERDEC is on the cutting edge of communications and electronics technologies. They work in support of the entire team, PEOs, and Centers of Team C4ISR
The Contracting Center Supports the team with contracting and procurement support. Last year they facilitated $16.9B in contract support.
The LRC rides herd over the maintenance and sustainment portion of the lifecycle managing spares, repair part inventories and depot interface. Its LARS are forward deployed providing battlefield, fix forward support.
The SEC provides a wide array of software engineering support to the PEOs and is heavily involved in Information Assurance of our tactical C4ISR systems
Tobyhanna is the premier C4ISR Depot in the world. It services all 4 services and is appreciated by our troops. Take a look at this short clip.
The CTSF provides interoperability testing of all fielded C4ISR systems and software to ensure combat reliability of newly fielded capabilities. PEO personnel make up more than 3x the workforce of the CTSF.
ISEC provides Army wide information technology engineering support to our posts, camps and stations. If you use a computer anywhere in the Army, ISEC played a role in getting it there.

9. Top Priorities 9 As I mentioned before, the USF/RESET process is cyclical and ever present. It is a process we take very seriously and have refined over time to great success. Jay Harrod will follow me with a more detailed briefing on exactly how we do that.
I, in some ways, have had to jump on a fast-moving train that is ahead of schedule, due to enter the station about 6 months ahead of schedule. CECOM LCMC and Team C4ISR leadership has set out to transform the C4ISR portion of the Materiel Enterprise. It is my challenge to complete what others have started. And that is a task I do not take lightly. It truly is a “once in a generation” opportunity.
Maintaining the strength of the team and taking care of people during the process are critical in seeing this through.

15. Some Challenges We Face Iraq Theater Drawdown
Afghanistan Theater Build-up
Moving the C4ISR Team to Aberdeen Proving Grounds
S3 and R2 Contract Vehicles
15 Drawing down in Iraq after 6 years of troop rotations and equipment fieldings present us with the unenviable challenge of finding all the pieces, accounting for them and providing disposition instructions. No small undertaking.
At the same time we must focus our support in Afghanistan where the challenges facing our troops is different that in Iraq. Our support challenges are greater—it is not business as usual…again.
Maintaining the momentum as the finish line comes into sight and staying the course. Some great collaboration several years ago set us on this path to building a C4ISR Center of Excellence. We cannot come up short.
Rapid Response - R2
Award currently under protest, GAO decision not expected until mid-September. No orders will be awarded during the remainder of FY09. We will determine what work will be solicited on R2 after the GAO decision is issued. It will be on a task by task basis.
Strategic Services Sourcing - S3
Recompete is still in the development of strategy phase. Once input to the Performance Work Statement is finalized, it will go out on the Interactive Business Opportunities Page (IBOP) for industry comment. Date for Request for Proposals (RFP) has not been set yet.

18. PURPOSE: To illustrate the integrated life cycle management of systems and capabilities that results in coordinated and synchronized support to ARFORGEN through the Unit Set Fielding process.
OBJECTIVES: By the end of this presentation you will:
Know the origins of Unit Set Fielding (USF)
Understand how the USF Process supports the ARFORGEN Process
Be aware of the tools that are used to manage the Unit Set Fielding Process, such as the Single Interface to the Field (SIF) Portal 18 NETCOM’s vision looks to the future and projects where our command intends to be in 8-10 years – operating with in a fully Joint, network centric environment --- we have much to do to achieve this vision
Our mission statement directs an immediate focus on what we do everyday to enable battle command – actions ISO wartime operations, training and readiness as well as our operational base, NetOps and enterprise core competencies.
(Walk through each of the five functions // indicating further discussion on each in the brief)
Our expeditionary forces are transforming to align with the Army’s BCT construct ---- rapidly deployable communications capabilities and highly trained warfighting Signal Soldiers
The operational base provides the Step, Teleport, Fixed Regional Hub Nodes (FRHN), Area Processing Centers (APCs) and other capabilities that enable reach-back within and between the various theaters for tactical and non-tactical communication support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Enterprise Capabilities represent the business processes and technologies that enable us to operate globally
Network Operations is how we operationally assure Global Decision Superiority and interface with the Joint environment
Executive Agent and Special Missions are critical, no-fail missions in support of the National Command Authority and DoD that we have been specifically missioned to provide ISO the Joint and Army Warfighter – they are integral to our ability to extend the network as well as providing critical C2 capabilities to the NCANETCOM’s vision looks to the future and projects where our command intends to be in 8-10 years – operating with in a fully Joint, network centric environment --- we have much to do to achieve this vision

19. Origin: Recognized need to improve synchronization of fielding and training actions.
Mission: Execute USF actions involving C4ISR suite of systems in an integrated, synchronized five-phase process.
Commander’s Intent:
- Develop an Orders Based Process.
- Identify the BC/Comms/Enabler systems.
- Ensure a standardized/coordinated approach.
- System of Systems centric coordination with higher HQ / MACOMs.
- Embrace systems architecture and Data Products as a product.
- End-state of a synchronized fielding to BCTs and division with the
minimal impact to unit and efficient resource utilization. Unit Set Fielding Approach 19 The Unit Set Fielding Concept grew out of the need to end all disjointed fielding actions and disruptions to unit training schedules.
The mission of Unit Set Fielding is to field the C4ISR suite of systems in an integrated, synchronized manner.
OPORD 06-002 was written to lay out the USF approach.
An excerpt of the CDR’s intent is here on this slide. You can see it directed that we … The Unit Set Fielding Concept grew out of the need to end all disjointed fielding actions and disruptions to unit training schedules.

20. Why Is This Important? Battle Command Doctrine and Unit TTPs
Digital Doctrine not keeping pace with Battle Command Systems
Unit commanders must know how to fight digitally – Dominate the Network
Battle Command as a Weapon System
Fully embrace the Battle Command Training Strategy
Battle Command Readiness Reporting to HQDA: Equipment, Operators, Knowledge and Battle Staff Skills
IA Skills Critical to Fighting Digits
Deployment Timeline:
Team C4ISR allocates resources for training
Unit allocates time, resources and battle rosters key personnel 20
21. Training Campaign Plan 21 Orient to the chart
Delta C Vertical axis
Delta T Horizontal axis
Path depicted from Lower left to the upper right results in end-state of a “trained and ready unit”
A Trained unit, from our perspective, specifically means they are confident in the capabilities of the SoS and flexible in their ability to implement in the fight
The vertical columns represent the type of operation and lends some perspective to priority of effort to ensure sync with the Army
Decisive operations are those that directly accomplish the task assigned by the higher headquarters. Decisive operations conclusively
determine the outcome of major operations, battles, and engagements.
Shaping operations at any echelon create and preserve conditions for the success of the decisive operation.
The purpose of sustaining operations is to generate and maintain combat power. Sustaining operations are operations at any echelon that
enable shaping and decisive operations by providing combat service support, rear area and base security, movement control, terrain management, and infrastructure development.
Each of the stars represents a discrete operation being executed to help both the Army and the Unit ‘get well’
What we are trying to achieve by executing these operations is to increase the slope of the line, that is get the unit greater levels of capability and proficiency in a shorter period of time.

24. Leadership focus and involvement is critical to success
Battle Roster development is key – Right Soldiers to training
Internal management processes (“Digital Discipline”)
Maintaining SW Configuration Management
Property accountability of digital systems (e.g. Removable Hard Drives)
Maintaining or modifying the delivered System Architecture
Digital Pre-Combat checks
Classroom training is not enough – exercise digital systems at every opportunity - trained, seasoned Soldiers achieve “Expert Rifleman”
Knowledge Management SOPs and Digital Battle Drills a plus
Do not become dependent on contractors to install/maintain systems – these are Soldier tasks 24
