Global Combat Support System

The Global Combat Support System (GCSS) for the Army aims to provide combat forces with timely, accurate, accessible, and secure logistics information to ensure combat power is available at the right place and time. The program seeks to replace current logistics and maintenance Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS) with an enterprise approach, including supply, maintenance, ammunition, aviation, and property book. Additionally, it aims to implement best business practices to streamline supply, accountability, maintenance, distribution, and reporting procedures in support of the future force transition path of The Army Campaign Plan.

The GCSS-Army Increment 1 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) line focuses on building a software solution for disconnected supply, maintenance, and accountability. It also supports the Store and Forward capability. The program addresses battlefield gaps without network connectivity by providing a disconnected operations architecture for GCSS-Army to support ground missions. Furthermore, it supports ERP modernization efforts to develop end-to-end processes based on commercial off-the-shelf software best practices and produce a solution that is as commercial as possible and as military as necessary. The program also aims to integrate Advanced Manufacturing capabilities and enable the Digital Thread within the Army ERPs.
