integrated Force Management System that will establish accurate,
consistent and timely force structure information to the Army force
management community. FMS directly supports the Director of
Force
Management in the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff,
(G-3/5/7)
and its mission of managing and allocating manpower and force structure
information; documenting unit models (requirements) and authorizations
over time; and providing organizational and force structure solutions
in support of the Army’s transformation towards the Future
Force.
Description
The project consists of replacement of the four current systems
currently being used by the Force Management community (Requirements
Documentation System, client-server), the Army Authorization
Documentation System (TAADS, WINTAADS, WEBTAADS), Force Builder/SACS,
and Structure and Manpower Allocation System, client-server (SAMAScs).
The development of RDScs and SAMAScs represents an interim step in the
integration process, these systems have been removed from expensive and
manpower intensive mainframe operations and re-located to client-server
platforms, providing cost and manpower savings to the Army. The FMS
incorporates Common Software Development tools, design and development
standards, complying with DoD and Army architecture standards. It
provides for browser-based Web accessibility, on-line transaction
processing and online analysis processing capability to users in the

Information Technology Systems (ITS), Pentagon/Arlington, VA Mission
Project Director (PD) ITS’ mission is to renovate and
modernize
all Pentagon voice, data and video systems in support of the Military
Services, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), and Department
of Defense (DoD) command and control (C2) and operations centers.
Description
The U.S. Army is the executive agent for the renovation and
modernization of Pentagon information technology (IT) systems and
infrastructure in conjunction with the comprehensive Pentagon
Renovation. PD ITS is charged with performing this $1.3 billion
initiative on behalf of the Army.
In coordination with the Pentagon Renovation and Construction Program
Office (PENREN), ITS is overhauling renovated Pentagon-tenant
organizations’ incompatible IT systems and implementing
modern,
network-centric systems and infrastructure to support the Pentagon as
an enterprise. Specifically, ITS is renovating the Pentagon’s
voice, data and video systems to provide the building’s
25,000+
workforce, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Military
Service Operations Centers, and the C2 community with: a Universal IT
design and configuration for all Pentagon office space;
structured and documented wiring and cabling; modernized, integrated
command and operations center infrastructure; common physical IT
infrastructure; and a centrally managed communications and information
backbone architecture.
In addition, ITS provides IT design and implementation support to the
Pentagon’s Command Communications Survivability Program and
the
Alternate Sites Program (external sites throughout the National Capital
Region) to provide world-class, secure IT infrastructure for the
national defense headquarters, C2 and operations centers, and senior
decision makers.
Currently, ITS is engaged in the renovation of the Pentagon’s
Wedge 3 area. ITS has already hit a high point with its efforts in
Wedge 3, recently completing the Basement Consolidated Server Room
(B-CSR), which users blade-server technology to consolidate data from
25,600 legacy servers into a 3,000 square-foot space. The legacy
servers originally occupied more than 64,000 square feet of space in
the Pentagon, and 40,000 square feet of space has already been returned
to tenant organizations as a result of the B-CSR.
ITS will continue to work in close coordination with PENREN to renovate
the Pentagon for the next 50 years through the 2010 Congressionally
mandated deadline.
