## Summary

This activity requests $67.0M in FY2027, 100% of project 001, up 365% on FY2026. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2025–FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** Sustain efforts established in FY 2025-2026 along the stated Lines of Effort. Over time, additional use cases will be added to support a comprehensive, cross-directorate Dashboard capability: 1. LOE 1: Digitizing and automating workflows and analytics for the Secretary of War Digital Orders Book (DOB), Defense Readiness Module (DRM), Logistics Common Operational Picture (LOGCOP), Force Management Decision Support (FMDS) supporting Global Force Management (GFM), including global integration features for Combatant Command (CCMD)/Service readiness and Operations, Activities, and Investments (OAI) and Training and Exercise Support Tool (TEST) to support exercise domain 2. LOE 2: Supporting Global Integration and the Crisis Management Team (CMT) in the National Military Command Center by overlaying the Common Operating Pictures (COP), Common Intelligence Pictures (CIP), and working real-time assessments and during 24/7 crisis response efforts. 3. LOE 3: The Joint Force Requirements Process (JFRP) Digital Backbone. This LOE will improve data accessibility and data retrieval from Knowledge Management and Decision Support (KM/DS), the primary support tool for the Joint Requirements Oversight Council . 4. LOE 4: Establish the Joint Staff War Data Platform mission space, the foundational data and experimentation platform, providing IL2-JWICS pipelines and an industry collaboration zone to rapidly prototype, pilot, and scale use cases. This LOE supports a data-fused, AI-enabled environment to improve the JS CDAO’s ability to rapidly field capabilities against emergent and urgent CCMD/JS requirements, bypassing traditional funding cycles to meet the speed of mission at the required level of impact.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase enables critical sustainment and expansion of JS digital modernization efforts, directly enhancing senior leader decision-making. This funding will continue the automation of key workflows, such as the Digital Orders Book (DOB) and Global Force Management (GFM), while providing an integrated, real-time common operational picture for global crisis response, and will also establish the Joint Staff War Data Platform, creating a foundational environment for rapidly developing and scaling AI-enabled capabilities to meet emergent requirements at the speed of mission and enable a decisive information advantage.

## Before the request year

**FY2026 plans — current year.** Continue efforts established in FY 2025, along stated Lines of Effort. Over time, additional use cases will be added to support a comprehensive, cross-directorate Dashboard capability: 1. LOE 1: Digitizing and automating workflows and analytics for the Secretary of War Orders Book (SWOB) for Global Force Management (GFM), including global integration features for Combatant Command (CCMD)/Service readiness and Operations, Activities, and Investments (OAI), and Joint Force readiness data. 2. LOE 2: Supporting the Crisis Management Team (CMT) in the National Military Command Center by overlaying the Common Operating Pictures (COP), Common Intelligence Pictures (CIP), and working real-time assessments during 24/7 crisis response efforts. 3. LOE 3: The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Data Modernization. This LOE will improve data accessibility and data retrieval from Knowledge Management and Decision Support (KM/DS), the primary support tool for the Joint Requirements Oversight Council and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process. 4. LOE 4: Digitizing the Joint Strategic Planning System (JSPS) Portfolio. The JSPS is the foundation for providing the Chairman’s strategic guidance and military advice in support of Title 10 authorities; digitizing this process, developing a collaborative workspace, and workflows allows for efficiency and effectiveness in this joint strategic planning system.

**FY2025 accomplishments.** To achieve necessary Joint Staff senior leader decision support capabilities, the Dashboard will be built upon a JS Application Layer integrated with CDAO’s Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) DIL. Initially focusing on four priority use cases identified below as Lines of Effort (LOE), over time, additional use cases will be added to support a comprehensive, cross-directorate Dashboard capability: 1. LOE 1: Digitizing and automating workflows and analytics for the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB) for Global Force Management (GFM), including global integration features for Combatant Command (CCMD)/Service readiness and Operations, Activities, and Investments (OAI), and Joint Force readiness data. 2. LOE 2: Supporting the Crisis Management Team (CMT) in the National Military Command Center by overlaying the Common Operating Pictures (COP), Common Intelligence Pictures (CIP), and working real-time assessments during 24/7 crisis response efforts. 3. LOE 3: The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Data Modernization. This LOE will improve data accessibility and data retrieval from Knowledge Management and Decision Support (KM/DS), the primary support tool for the Joint Requirements Oversight Council and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process. 4. LOE 4: Digitizing the Joint Strategic Planning System (JSPS) Portfolio. The JSPS is the foundation for providing the Chairman’s strategic guidance and military advice in support of Title 10 authorities; digitizing this process, developing a collaborative workspace, and workflows allows for efficiency and effectiveness in this joint strategic planning system.
