21 Why a Joint Construction Management System Experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan highlighted the need to standardize contingency basing standards and designs across the Joint Engineer Community. The use of multiple standards and designs for similar facilities creates inefficiencies in the use of resources and creates challenges for turning facilities over for contracted operations and maintenance. Inconsistently applied master planning principles also led to reduced efficiency and effectiveness in contingency bases. Contingency Basing issues have been raised to the highest levels within the Department of Defense Life, health and safety concerns were documented in multiple studies and investigations Efforts to reduce the Operational Energy demand and improve facility sustainability are a high priority Future operations will require each Service s Engineers to work together to meet all of the Engineer requirements. The JCMS will provide a single system that all Services can use to plan and execute construction in support of the Joint Force Commanders. 5/30/

22 Joint Operational Engineer Board 2012 Work Plan Joint Contingency Construction Standards Problem Statement: A lack of clear Joint Contingency Construction Standards creates inefficiencies in the use of resources and time as well as making facility turnover and O&M more difficult. Master planning principles are inconsistently applied, reducing both efficiency and effectiveness. Progress Summary: Continuing the development of an Automated Joint Construction Management System (JCMS) that: Contains a Library of Joint Standard Designs for Contingency Facilities and Bases that meet Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and other established design and construction requirements Contains Master Planning Tools to support base planning and design Is Interoperable with Commercial Software used for construction management and facility design Is Interoperable with Service Logistics Systems to streamline Bill of Material (BOM) acquisition Team Members: Lead Agency: Office of the Chief of Engineers Supporting: Service Engineers and Schools, COCOM Engineers, USACE Way Ahead: Execute JCMS Work Plan Milestones Complete Standard Design Updates to incorporate UFC and validate design BOMs and labor and equipment estimates Continue JCMS Software development and finalize data base requirements to ensure interoperability Finalize the Development of a Master Planning Course and integrate the Master Planning Tool into JCMS Integrate DoD and Service Operational Energy Initiatives into designs and BOMs Continue to support USD AT&L s efforts to further establish contingency basing policies and standards

24 DoD Directive on Contingency Basing **It is DoD policy to pursue increased effectiveness and efficiency in contingency basing by: Promoting scalable interoperable capabilities that support joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multinational partners Providing common standards for planning, design, and construction in accordance with UFCs; developing common standards for contingency services; and establishing standards for equipment, base operations, and base transition or closure to support scalable contingency basing Using operational energy more efficiently, minimizing waste, and conserving water and other resources Integrating comprehensive risk management for force protection, emergency management, environment, safety, explosives safety, and occupational health into planning, design and operations Minimizing the logistics footprint by optimizing the delivery of material solutions, contracting practices and services Providing the optimal mix of military, civilian, and contractor personnel competencies in the DoD Total Force planning process Conducting contingency basing education and training for military and civilian personnel Minimizing adverse impacts on local populations and cultural resources 5/30/2012 **10 May 2012 Working Draft Language 24

25 Facility Criteria Section 807 of Public Law , Dated 28 October 2009, directed that it would be the policy of the Department of Defense that facilities, infrastructure, and equipment that are intended for use by military or civilian personnel of the Department in current or future military operations should be inspected for safety and habitability prior to such use, and that such facilities should be brought into compliance with generally accepted standards for the safety and health of personnel to the maximum extent practicable and should be consistent with the requirements of military operations and the best interest of the Department of Defense (DoD), to minimize the safety and health risk posed to such personnel. The DoD uses the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system as prescribed by MIL-STD-3007 to provide planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria for Defense facilities. The Office of the Secretary of Defense directed the Tri-Service Engineer Board Working Group to develop UFCs to codify the policy directed by law to ensure that acceptable life, health, and safety criteria are met for facilities used and constructed in support of military operations. 5/30/

26 Facility Criteria Over the past year, the Tri-Service Engineer Board has been developing three new UFC documents. UFC Non-Permanent Facilities in Support of Military Operations UFC Assessment of Existing Facilities for Use in Military Operations UFC Host Nation Facilities in Support of Military Operations Each of these documents addresses minimal acceptable facility design criteria for life, safety, and health to protect personnel that use the facilities. These UFCs establish technical criteria for the following building systems Fire protection Structural integrity Electrical Plumbing and mechanical Water treatment, storage and distribution Waste water collection and treatment Telecommunications networks. The technical criteria originate from previously published UFCs, International Codes, and/or established DoD/Service Policies or Regulations. 5/30/

34 JEPES EN Module Problem Statement: Current GCSS-J fielded version JEPES Classic is slow, not user friendly, and has very limited mapping capabilities. CCMD s working to create their own EN / LOGCOP Aspiration to plan future operations is holding back ability to see current operations. JEPES development lacks cohesive vision Progress Summary: GCSS-J v. 7.3 fielded in DEC 11 Big improvement: mapping, Graphical user interface, planning based, limited functionality, initial prototype Senior Leader Feedback Need EN COP data repository, current operations, execution tracking synchronization Team Members: Lead Agency: JS, J4 ED Supporting: Engineers from: Services CCMDs USFOR-A USF-I (Products & Lessons Learned) Way Ahead: Stay within GCSS-J, develop EN Module Improve map as basic component of COP Develop EN COP Vision Develop EN COP Basis for LOGCOP A well-designed Engineer COP provides the map foundation for an effective Log COP Shift focus from Planning to Execution 34

35 POA&M: Work Plan Milestone JEPES EN Module Initial Target Current Target Mitigation / Status Field GCSS-J version 7.3 JAN 12 DEC 11 Complete Field GCSS-J version APR 12 May 12 No input for EN Field GCSS-J version DEC 12 NOV 12 No/Limited EN equity Develop EN COP vision APR 12 Develop EN COP in JUN 13 DJ4/CAM recommendation: Approve Change approach from deliberate/crisis action planning to concentrate exclusively on execution management. JS J4-ED develops a vision, provides guidance to development team, and tests prototypes. Drop JEPES terminology and adopt GCSS-J terminology. New term is Engineer Module. Develop GCSS-J Engineer Module and Joint Engineer Portal to complement one another. EN Module provides terrain visualization and project execution. Joint Engineer Portal provides knowledge management (e.g. links to guidance, standards, environmental baseline surveys, historic briefings) and tools for engineer governance processes (e.g. Joint Facility Utilization Board) 35

36 Reports Bills of Material By Component by Facility by Construction Activity This report is organized and displayed using the same data hierarchy structure as the project is organized. All the materials for a Component and its associated Facilities and their associated Activity are grouped in the same way that they appear in the project hierarchy. This allows the engineer to see the material costs associated with each Activity, Facility, Component, Super Component, and finally at the conclusion, the summary costs for the entire project. By Component by Facility Gross This BOM report is similar to the BOM by Component by Facility by Construction Activity except that the materials associated with all the Activities associated with a facility are not separated by Construction Activities. Gross This report lists all the National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and their respective data associated with the entire project. The NSNs are listed in numeric order to allow for quick navigation through the material listing. Gross with NSN Details This report lists all the NSNs and their respective data with a detailed description of each NSN associated with the entire project. The NSNs are listed in numeric order to allow for quick navigation through the material listing. Multi Project Gross Report The AFCS application also supports generating a BOM Gross report that can span multiple projects in the project tree. This allows an engineer to develop or import multiple projects into a project tree and, by using the Consolidated Resources / BOM wizard, select one or more projects from the project tree and generate a gross report. BOM REPORTS. The pricing information for the BOM comes primarily from FEDLOG. AFCS allows locally sourced (Non NSN) materials and their associated costs to be defined in the system. When locally sourced Non NSN materials replace defined NSN data in a project, the pricing information provided in the Non NSN is included in the BOM. 5/30/
