WWW.SURVIVALEBOOKS.COM66 AFI10-207 4 APRIL 2008bally support the war fighter with modernized, comprehensive capabilities framed in a readilyaccessible global information technology system available to all air mobility decision makersregardless of organizational level. This system integrates the Command and Control InformationProcessing System (C2IPS) and Global Decision Support System (GDSS) functionalityinto a global C2 system. GDSS2 is not required at CPs on installations without an active runway.10.2.1.2.3. GCCS. GCCS is an automated information system, typically accessed throughorganic SIPRNET terminals, designed to input and review accurate planning and deploymentdata including SORTS. GCCS supports six mission areas: operations, mobilization, deployment,employment, sustainment, and intelligence, and provides commanders with a real-time,true picture of the battle space and the ability to order, respond, and coordinate the degree necessaryto successfully prosecute the war fighting mission.10.2.2. Additional Requirements for CP/command centers. MAJCOMs will determine applicabilityto their CPs/command centers.10.2.2.1. C2 Communications Console. Consoles will integrate network and application technologyenabling calls, recording, UHF, and phone-patch capability. The console must meet JCSdirected Joint Interoperability Testing Command (JTIC) certification (DODI 8100.3 Departmentof Defense (DoD) Voice Networks) and Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) compliance(CJCSI 6215.01B Policy for Department of Defense Voice Networks) for all C2 communicationsystems.10.2.2.2. High Frequency (HF)/Ultra High Frequency (UHF)/Very High Frequency (VHF) Radio.HF/UHF/VHF radios are required to communicate directly with aircraft and mission essential personneland are mission dependent. All CPs should have a UHF radio as a minimum to facilitate C2with aircraft transiting their area regardless of installation mission/configuration, i.e., lack of anoperational mission/active runway.10.2.2.3. Giant Voice System/INWS allows CP controllers to provide base/installation-wide personnelwith information such as, Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) levels, alarm conditions,FPCON changes, klaxons, CAT recalls, personnel recall, INFOCONs, and natural disasterwarnings. Additionally, other locally determined information may be broadcast at the commander’sdiscretion.10.2.2.4. TBMCS. TBMCS is the CAF information and decision support application supportingcombined and joint air operations for the JFC. It provides the means to plan, direct and control alltheater air operations and coordinates with ground and maritime elements, and can be tailored tolarge or small-scale operations. TBMCS functionality includes: intelligence processing; air campaignplanning, execution and monitoring; aircraft scheduling; unit-level maintenance operations;unit and force-level logistics planning; and weather monitoring and analysis. Threat evaluationtools allow users to perform modeling actions of potential threats to help determine their lethalityand assess the probability of detection and engagement. Target selection tools give mission plannersautomated capabilities for selecting targets and developing weapons solutions to destroythem, matching aircraft and munitions to the mission. The system provides a capability to receiveand process imagery data. It is a significant aid in the production of the Air Tasking Order (ATO).10.2.2.4.1. Theater Battle Management Core System-Force Level (TBMCS-FL) providesautomated C2 and decision support tools to improve the planning, preparation, and execution
