Q

Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES)

A

Giant database accessible to planners

DoD directed single integrated joint C2 system

Reside on GCCS

JOPES Automated Data Processing (ADP) apps create Time Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) & submit CCDR movement requirements to USTRANSCOM

Q

Time Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD)

A

The electronic data portion that exists in JOPES/DCAPES

AEF tasking questions:

  • What is the first movement date?
  • What is the required delivery date?
  • What is the destination?
  • What is the route/mode of travel?

(6)

16
Q

Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX)

A

Future JOPES

DoD level system of joint policies, processes, etc, supported by communications and information technology

Allows planners to produce net-centric “living plans”

(7)

17
Q

Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS)

A

Status of a unit’s ability to undertake the full mission

Internal management tool for use by the CJCS, services, COCOMs

Three purposes:

  • Provides data critical to crisis planning
  • Provides for the contingency and peacetime planning process
  • Used by CSAF in assessing their effectiveness in meeting Title 10 responsibilities
capabilities = 4 areas (PSRT)
assessment = C-level (6 ratings)

(8)

18
Q

Four resource areas of SORTS

A

personnel (P-level)
equipment and supplies on hand (S-level)
equipment condition (R-level)
training (T-level)

(8)

19
Q

SORTS C-level reporting (six-point scale)

A

C-1 (green): capable to undertake the full wartime mission
C-2: most of wartime mission
C-3: many, but not all, portions of the wartime mission
C-4: requires additional resources to undertake it wartime mission
C-5: not prepared at this time to undertake the mission
C-6: (N/A) not required to measure assets in a specific area

Commanders assign the overall C-level

NOT designed to function as a detailed information management system

(8,9)

20
Q

Air Force Planning

A

AF supports global CCDR requirements

AEF is the force generation used to manage the battle rhythm, predictable

(9)

21
Q

Unit Type Codes (UTC)

A

Legos

Basis for AF capability posturing by MAJCOM Functional Area Managers (FAM) in DCAPES

Commanders report status of UTCs in AEF Reporting Tool (ART)

(9)

22
Q

UTC four main elements

A

5-character alphanumeric code

  • Header
  • Mission Capability Statements (MISCAP)
  • Manpower Force Element (MFE)
  • Logistics Detail (LOGDET or equipment)

(9)

23
Q

Three main types of UTCs

A
  • manpower only
  • equipment only
  • containing manpower and equipment

(9)

24
Q

AF Requirements Lifecycle

3 basic phases

A
  1. Development-SECDEF approved, loaded into DCAPES (AF feed into JOPES)
  2. Sourcing-AFPC/DPW sources requirements in DCAPES
  3. Verification/validation-initial 10-day window to verify requirement or submit a reclama (cannot meet mission)

(10)

25
Q

Operational Capabilities Packages (OCPs)

A

Same as UTCs

Collection of tailored Force Modules/UTCs grouped together to support numerous response options

Adjusted in DCAPES to enhance flexibility

(11)

26
Q

AEF Rotation Planning

A

Support the Global Force Management (GFM) requirement of an immediate executable schedule

AEF construct, tempo bands, is AF methodology of meeting CCDR requirements

(11)

27
Q

Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES)

A

AF’s war planning system and AF feed to JOPES

Enable improved and streamlined operations

Contains CCDR force requirements and Air & Space Expeditionary Task Force (AETF) force modules

Supports all phases of ops HAF, Personnel Support for Contingency Operations (PERSCO) level, etc

(12)

28
Q

Logistics Module (LOGMOD)

A

Logistics planning program that receives and maintains the cargo and personnel details for UTCs and taskings

Operates in unclassified mode

Four resident modules:

  1. Logistics Force Packaging (LOGFOR)
  2. Logistics Planning (LOGPLAN)
  3. Deployment Schedule of Events (DSOE)
  4. Unit Deployment Management (UDM)

(12)

29
Q

Air Expeditionary Force Unit Type Code Reporting Tool (ART)

A

AF version of SORTS

Resides on SIPRNET, uses stoplight system

Focuses on scalable capability based UTCs to meet needs of AEF, while SORTS is unit centric

UDM reports unit’s assigned UTC readiness status at a minimum of 30 days or whenever there is a change

(13)

30
Q

Differences between SORTS and ART

A

ART - AF only, specifically tracks individual UTC’s ability to perform according to its MISCAP (stop light)

SORTS - DoD wide, C-level reporting (ability to support major war commitments)

(14)

31
Q

Manpower and Equipment Force Packaging (MEFPAK)

A

Standalone Microsoft Access database that provides:

  • all AF UTCs to planners
  • lists squadrons/units associated w/each UTC
  • pilot unit serving as test bed for UTC validation

Features include:
MISCAP
Manpower Force Package (MANFOR)
Logistics Details (LOGDET)

(15)

32
Q

Pre-deployment Training Tool (PDTT)

A

SIPRNET app to manage training information for types of pre-deployment training needed by Airmen

(15)

33
Q

Reclama Processing Tool (RPT)

A

Requests relief from tasking by asking appropriate authority to reconsider its decision

SIPRNET based, accessed through AEF Online and interfaces w/DCAPES

(15)

34
Q

Deployment Processing Discrepancy Reporting Tool (DPDRT)

A

SIPRNET web based app managed by AFPC/DPW to allow PERSCO teams to report USAF’s discrepancy items
