• Force Structure: Provide a comprehensive inventory of DoD force structure • Force Capabilities Identifier: Identify force by name (UIC/UTC/other designator) or

by equivalence to requested capability; facilitates contingency sourcing• Force Readiness: Provide objective overall C-level, Personnel, Training, Equipment

and Supply (C/PSRT) levels readiness at appropriate fidelity and subjective readiness to complete Mission Essential Tasks (METS)

• GFM Policy Guidance: Identify potential constraint violations of GFM strategic guidance (redlines), e.g., BOG, Dwell, OPS/PERS tempo, etc.

• Force Availability: Provide past/present/future availability• Force Location: Provide past/present/future location information • Force Apportionment: Identify units’ (by name, UIC, UTC, or other designator)

apportionment to COCOM plans • Situational Awareness: Track the status and location of deploying, deployed, and

redeploying forces• Works in Progress: Be able to save and reload work in progress

To perform the JFP mission, JFCOM’s need for visibility goes beyond readiness. We must also analyze force structure, capabilities, allocation and availability, location, and apportionment (as dictated by GFM strategic guidance).
