Outbrief Templates Follow:

C2 Integration Issue 1• Issue: MAGTF C2 Commander-Centric capabilities require shared understanding of

commander’s intent and guidance, coordination of executable tasks, collaborative planning, execution, assessment and decision-making support requirements. This inherently requires the integration of displays, processes, data feeds, net-centric services, and necessitates an open, service oriented architecture (SOA) development. This represents the decision-makers interface (command) with the supporting infrastructure (control). This capability must extend across all MAGTF C2 Capability Sets (CAPSETS I – V) from MEF Command to the individual Marine.

• Examine this issue in the context of Joint, Naval, Coalition, Inter-Agency C2 viewpoints and provide suggestions, solutions or recommendations.

• When examining this issue attempt to:

• Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability

• Discuss SOA development to date including lessons learned

• Identify unique DOTMLPF needs associated with this capability development, e.g. tactics, techniques, procedure (TTP) modifications; significant bandwidth needs, compression capability, etc.

C2 Integration Issue 2• Issue: MAGTF C2 capabilities require “common, modular, scalable” solutions that

are fully integrated with in an adaptive, distributed network of commanders, staffs, operating units, supporting organizations, sensors, weapons, and other C2 nodes interacting with one another over an underlying information infrastructure and service oriented architecture (SOA). This capability attribute envisions multi-functional roles for operational facilities (OPFACS), e.g. Direct Air Support Center (DASC) today, and Tactical Air Command Center (TACC) tomorrow, with only minimal adjustment...

• When examining this issue attempt to:

• Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability

• Identify unique DOTMPLF needs associated with this capabilities development, e.g. occupational skills (MOS) requirements, etc.

• Discuss SOA as an enabler in supporting “common, modular, scalable” solutions.

• Examine this issue in the context of Joint, Naval, C2 viewpoints and provide suggestions, solutions or recommendations
