7 Summary of Key JCCSE Analysis/Validation**

8 JCCSE – Definition and Components Joint CONUS Communications Support Environment (JCCSE) JCCSE is an umbrella concept to enable the reliable and timely flow of key information to support state and Federal military activities for HS/CS. It includes the communications systems and programs that provide connectivity, collaboration/situational awareness, and C4 coordination. Currently, the key components of JCCSE are Joint Incident Site Communication Capability (JISCC), Joint Information Exchange Environment (JIEE), the Joint C4 Coordination Center (JCCC) and Operations Center IT Support. Key Components  Connectivity: JISCC-Supporting the procurement and fielding of 55 communications suites for all 54 states and territories.  Collaboration/Situational Awareness: JIEE- Creating an information sharing environment to support access to event related data and situation reporting, standardized battle staff processes (RFIs/RFAs), and Joint C4 Asset Coordination.  C4 Coordination: JCCC-Standing up the organization and facility to support the USNORTHCOM horizontal information exchange of the IT common operating picture (COP).  Operations Center IT Support: NGB & JFHQ-State JOC IT requirements.  Connectivity: JISCC-Supporting the procurement and fielding of 55 communications suites for all 54 states and territories.  Collaboration/Situational Awareness: JIEE- Creating an information sharing environment to support access to event related data and situation reporting, standardized battle staff processes (RFIs/RFAs), and Joint C4 Asset Coordination.  C4 Coordination: JCCC-Standing up the organization and facility to support the USNORTHCOM horizontal information exchange of the IT common operating picture (COP).  Operations Center IT Support: NGB & JFHQ-State JOC IT requirements.

9 Hurricane Katrina Validated NG Roles & Supporting JCCSE Construct Validated roles of NGB (Nationwide Coordination) and JFHQ-State (Mission Coordination, Planning, & C2) as envisioned by new mission statements, but capabilities must mature and planning needs to provide capability for 24X7 operations for weeks, and perhaps months Require better, integrated, & interoperable collaboration and information sharing capabilities among NGB & JFHQ-State JOCs, COCOM and JTF/TF HQ, deployed forces, & other mission partners Require enhanced C4 management capabilities—a Joint C4 Coordination Center (JCCC)—as envisioned within the JCCSE Concept for Joint C4 -- Visibility of C4 capabilities nationwide -- Pre-planning versus ad hoc planning -- Enhanced responsiveness to operational priorities -- Enhanced C4 planning & management for Joint Task Force(s), staging area(s), and incident site(s) Deployable Communications: Quality good, but quantity totally inadequate—JCCSE National Guard Communications Elements (NG CE) required in every State/Territory -- Numerous Task Force locations -- Lack of communications capabilities for NG soldiers on the ground JCCSE will evolve to support these needs by leveraging DoD enterprise solutions as they become available to the maximum extent possible

10 JCCSE Current Initiatives (JISCC) JISCC Capabilities for Deployed NG Forces Satellite connectivity – iDirect modem, TracStar antenna, and commercial or DoD teleport service provide reach back capabilities for voice, video, and data. Auto acquisition antenna eases system setup. Voice patching/interoperability – Radio Crossbanding System and a mobile radio suite provide interoperable communications between disparate radio systems; interconnects up to 12 separate organizational radio systems Local area network – LAN switch, server, and four laptops provide access to the internet and other networks and VoIP capabilities; scalable to accommodate additional users if needed Video teleconference – PolyCom camera and LCD screen provide video teleconference capabilities through the satellite connection Portable radios – 20 UHF portable radios provide short- range, point to point voice communications; scalable to accommodate additional radio users if needed Miscellaneous – Transport cases, trailer, tent, generators, and UPS provide a means for transportation and storage, shelter, and power for the set

11 JCCSE Current Initiatives (JIEE) JIEE Mission & Functions Joint Information Exchange Environment (JIEE): –Consolidates the National Guard COP in order to provide NORTHCOM and other HLD/DSCA mission partners with ready access to event information and geo- referenced data layers for ongoing NORTHCOM – NGB mission planning and coordination. –Supports the sharing of information for the development of a Common Operational Picture and SITREPs, that may be shared with NORTHCOM and other mission partners –Accessible via AKO. JIEE is currently released at Version 4.0: –Duty Log – Staff Duty Log –Event Log – Event Management tool –RFI/RFA’a Tool – Management of Internal RFI’s/RFA’s –Group Management – Planning tool –NG Missions – Mission Tracker –Geo-Spatial Mapping – GIS Library –Access to NORTHCOM Applications (e.g., Portal, DSEL, etc) –Situational Reporting Tool –Integration with commonly used tools (e.g, WebEOC, E-teams, etc)— (Available in Feb 2008)

12 JCCSE Current Initiatives (JCCC) Joint C4 Coordination Center (JCCC) Mission The NGB JCCC is supported by the 261 st Signal Brigade, Smyrna DE (ARNG) and the 281 st Combat Communications Group, Smithton, RI (ANG) to provide both ARNG and ANG expertise. A cornerstone of JCCSE is the ability to manage and employ NG C4 assets on a nationwide basis to support HLD/DSCA mission requirements The JCCC mission is to serve as the focal point for: – Planning – Oversight …but not C2 – Coordination – Reporting of NG fixed and deployable net-centric C4 capabilities JCCC Core Functions: – Assist States with coordination for the employment of NG C4 capabilities in support of HLD/DSCA missions – Develop and maintain the NG C4 COP – Coordinate spectrum management assistance – Coordinate SATCOM training and operations with DoD and Commercial teleports – Provide interface with USNORTHCOM TNCC on C4 related activity Both ARNG and ANG expertise is crucial to JCCC mission readiness

13 JCCSE—Relationship to JFHQ-State DCR JFHQ-State DCR addresses the following gaps: -- Joint C2 and situational awareness (SA) capabilities -- Minimum essential deployable, interoperable communications and information exchange capabilities JFHQ-State: -- Improves shared situational awareness between CJCS, combatant commanders and the first-responders, the National Guard, and other military response forces -- Provides standard joint interface for unity and continuity of military (state and federal) effort -- Leverages existing and evolving PORs IAW the JCCSE Concept for Joint C4 JCCSE: -- Supports USNORTHCOM goal to extend the collaborative information environment (CIE) from the national-level to the state/territory/local-level, and through to any deployed operational location -- Leverages existing and projected DoD enterprise capabilities to the maximum extent possible -- Provides long-term C4 support needed to meet USNORTHCOM & JFHQ-State mission requirements

16 JCCSE—The Way Ahead JCCSE initiative continues to progress –JCCSE Strategic Advisory Board (JSAB) helps to identify and solve issues, and build stakeholder partnerships and consensus Doctrinal role of the JCCSE in information sharing must be institutionalized Formal JCCSE missions validated, Services responsibilities defined, and force management strategies planned and executed -- Migration strategy toward standard Service capabilities, but those capabilities must meet HD/CS capability requirements -- Joint Army/Air Architectural Approach -- USNORTHCOM endorsement and validation of all capabilities -- Service (Army/Air) recognition and force planning based upon HD/CS as a primary mission responsibility supportable in the POM
