Global Force Management - What is it?
•
Integrates processes of:
– Force assignment
– Force apportionment (Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan)
– Force allocation (CJCS orders/GFMAP)
•
•
•
Globally assesses force sourcing risk and addresses mitigation
options
Enables global sourcing with best force sourcing option, regardless of
command or Service to which the force is assigned
Keys to GFM execution:
– Consolidated force allocation under Joint Force Providers
• USJFCOM for conventional forces
• USSOCOM for SOF
• USTRANSCOM for mobility forces
• USSTRATCOM for strategic/ISR forces (Joint Functional Manager)
– Quarterly Global Force Management Board – Joint Staff-hosted
• General Officer representation from all JFPs, COCOMs and Services
• Develop strategic-level GFM guidance for SecDef
Enables SecDef to make proactive, informed force management decisions

Emergent Force Allocation
Request For Forces (RFF) Requirements
• Request from a COCOM or Force Provider for units or
capabilities to address emergent (un-forecasted) requirements
within their AOR that cannot be met by the requesting
headquarters or its components, or the COCOM’s assigned or
allocated forces
– Unit/capability is not resident in the existing assigned forces
– Unit/capability is not available due to current commitments
• An RFF is not the proper vehicle to source exercises (JTIMS),
individual requirements (JMD) or equipment-only requirements
(service or JUONS)
• RFF / RFC timelines, RFF to LAD:
– Non-urgent: 120 days prior
– Urgent (emergent): Within 120 days
– Immediate: Within next 30 days

RFF Validation
For validation, an RFF must have: (must make operational sense)
• Regional JOD provides operational validation with JOD-GFM support
• Unit capability; description suitable for ILO sourcing if applicable
• Unit quantity
• Destination
• Earliest arrival date (EAD); Latest arrival date (LAD)
• Deployment Duration – service rotations authorized?
• Mission Justification
–
–
–
•
•
Similar capabilities in AOR - number and justification of why they cannot be
used
Identify additional or replacement
–
–
•
11
Detailed justification for the requested force
If additional, what has changed in the AOR (enemy situation, mission, environment,
etc)
Justification for continuation of requirement for replacement forces
–
•
•
Why the capability is required
Operational risk if not sourced
Mitigation measures available to reduce that risk
Why is this capability still needed and can a smaller force be substituted
Training requirements
Command and control relationships

• Force Management Integration Project
– Requirements Management Tool
– Sourcing and Staffing Tool
– Global Visibility Tool
• Advancement of the GFM timeline to better forecast
requirements and provide as much lead time to forces for
predictability
– FY10: Rotational Sourcing ongoing – Dec 08 target

• Maturing the GFM process and improving efficiency requires:
– JFPs must leverage their Service components headquarters
– Further information technology development
– Culture change for the “old” way of doing business

Broad Summary of DEPORD Guidelines
• Only SecDef has authority to transfer forces and change
command relationships, including temporary changes in
OPCON, TACON, or support authorities between combatant
commanders … DEPORD is the most common vehicle
• DEPORDs normally deploy additional forces, parts of units,
individual personnel and equipment -- not force augmentation,
unit replacement, resupply, sustainment or non-unit related
pers/equip.
• Not all movements require a DEPORD
– Exercises
– Temporary duty of short duration that is not operational
– Service training
• Some movements specifically require a DEPORD
– Special operations
– Counterdrug
• A separate, expedited orders process is used for Defense
Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)

1. In the case of NATO requirements, SACEUR releases a Consolidated

in lieu of a Sourcing Conference
3. For NATO requirements, SecDef releases a Force Prep Message in
lieu of an EXORD, DEPORD or Schedule
4. GFMB participation depends on the scope of the issue – GFMB only
addresses strategically significant issues. If GFMB review is not
warranted, AO and/or flag-officer SVTCs will review. Sourcing
conferences used for large-package requirements (e.g., OIF rotations).
Some actions will not require GFMB or SVTC review.

Step #1:
• Using GFMB, JS develops assumption /
guidance for COCOM use in developing rotational
requirements
• COCOMs develop & submit to JS their
rotational requirements
• GFMB reviews / prioritizes COCOM rotational
requirements; determines sourcing guidance for
JFPs
Step #2: As required, JS directs functional
requirements directly to other Federal Agencies
Step #3: JS sends GFMB-reviewed rotational
requirements to JFPs to develop rotational force
schedule and allocation plan
CJCS
Step #7: GFMB reviews /recommends approval of
JFP-developed rotational schedule & allocation
plan; as required, use Tank to address additional
issues
Step #8: JS staff DRAFT schedule & allocation
plan w/ OSD / agencies & forward recommendation
to SecDef

Request for Forces Process
• GFM Board provides overarching guidance
• COCOM submits an RFF to JS
• JS validates RFF
• JS “packages” RFF and sends to Joint Force Provider (JFP)
(JFCOM, TRANSCOM, SOCOM, or STRATCOM)
• JFP staffs out for a sourcing solution
• JFP provides a recommended sourcing solution to JS
• JS staffs “locally” within the Pentagon and begins the orders
process
