Leadership

Command Philosophy

Command by Direction Centralize uncertainty

Command by Plan Prioritize uncertainty

Command by Influence Distribute uncertainty

Network must be Adaptable to the Commander

MAGTF C2 4

Enabling Technologies: 1864 - Now

• Networked by:– telegraph– satellites

• Decentralized operations facilitated by clear intent

• Empower subordinates– Proliferate decision-

makers

MAGTF C2 Capability Portfolio Management (CPM)

• Initiated for Program Objective Memorandum ‘08

• Approach– Holistic, end-to-end– Cradle-to grave– Institutionally “organize for combat”

• Coordinate and synchronize Marine:– Capability Integration and Development– Planning, Programming, Budgeting, & Execution– Acquisition

Delivering complete DOTMLPF capability to the warfighters

MAGTF C2 7

MAGTF C2 CPM Implementation

• Covers C2 and Communications Capabilities & Systems – Validated and resourced by the USMC PPBE process – Approved by Warfighting Investment Program Evaluation Board

(PEB)• Requires monitoring and integration with other systems

and capabilities– Programs of Record (PORs) validated and/or resourced across other

PEBs– Ensure joint integration, alignment and convergence

• Approximately 50+ PORs currently funded in the FYDP– Defined in MAGTF C2 CONOPS

• Coordinate fielding and retirement across the Enterprise– Capability sets (CAPSETs) with required “end to end” components – Identified from the various Families of Systems (FoS)

Provide “…an end to end, fully integrated, cross functional, set of C2 capabilities that include forward deployed as well as reach back functions.”

MAGTF C2 10

Common, Modular, and Scaleable

• Common: MAGTF command echelons use the same equipment. Unique requirements, such as sensors and intel feeds, enter via standard gateway.

• Modular: System is designed to enable component utilization that logically supports a variety of con-figurations for various echelons of C2 across MAGTF.

• Scaleable: Software & hardware facilitate Battalion/ Squadron, Regimental/ Group, Division/Wing, & MEF-level command functions for COC by adding or subtracting common and modular components.

MAGTF C2 11

MAGTF COC Defined

• Combat Operations Center (COC): generic term used to describe the body of specific capabilities for MAGTF C2 applications and OPFACs described in the Operational Requirements Document (ORD).

• MAGTF COC CDD includes 5 capability sets (CAPSETs): – CAPSET I: MEF-level COC– CAPSET II: MSC-level /– CAPSET III: Regimental, MAG, MWSG, MEU,

CLR-level– CAPSET IV: Battalion, MWSS, CLB-level– CAPSET V: Small-unit C2 platforms to

Joint Interoperability

• MAGTF C2 was “born Joint”– USMC understands requirement for Joint/Coalition

interoperability today and integration tomorrow

• JC2 Capability Portfolio Management– Synchronize three DOD processes to deliver complete

capability to the Joint Warfighter while addressing Service unique requirements

– Provide guidance & standards to Services to ensure unity of effort in developing capabilities

– Provide oversight of JC2 initiatives

• Establish overarching JC2 effort – Prioritize subordinate efforts– Address Inter-Agency and Coalition

USMC will assist in providing ways to win!
