## Enclosure 3 Procedures

 1.  GFM DI GOVERNANCE
a.  The GFM DI is centrally managed by the Joint Staff J-8 and is guided by a collaborative OSD, Joint Staff, Military Service, and interagency COI that utilizes governance and technical bodies to facilitate the development and implementation of objectives.  The GFM DI governance structure, to include the various governance and technical bodies, established in accordance with DoDI 5105.18 (Reference (ad)) must consist of full-time or permanent part-time federal officers or employees.  Subject matter experts (SMEs), who are not full-time or permanent part-time federal officers or employees, may provide SME advice to the GFM DI governance structure.
However, such individuals are prohibited from participating in the governance structure's deliberation process.


(1)  Senior level oversight for GFM DI processes is provided by a General Officer Steering Committee (GOSC), chaired by a J-8 representative.


(2)  Approval and configuration control of GFM DI technical artifacts is administered by the GFM DI Configuration Control Board (CCB), for which the configuration management authority is the GFM DI GOSC Chair.

b.  The initiative is executed in a decentralized manner by the DoD Components, who provide: (1)  Senior representatives to the GOSC. (2)  Policy and technical experts to the CCB and working groups that meet periodically or in special sessions.

2.  ORG SERVER PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS
a.  The enterprise force structure of the U.S. military is divided into two branches of the chain of command, as described in section 4 of chapter 2 of Joint Publication 1 (Reference (ae)).  The authoritative baselines of these branches are comprised of the relatively permanent placement of forces and organizations into command structure hierarchies in accordance with Service doctrine, Reference (u), and Reference (v).  These baselines for the administrative command structure and operational command structure are digitally populated within suites of org servers by force management experts of the DoD Components, as identified in Enclosure 2 of this instruction, in accordance with the configuration control items approved by the GFM DI CCB (including References (l), (m), and (n)).



b.  The org servers are net-centric services that reside in security domains commensurate with the data they produce.  The org servers provide access to organizational data that conforms to the representational precepts of the Organizational and Force Structure Construct (OFSC), pursuant to Reference (m).  In accordance with Reference (l), all org server data must be originally created in the security domain commensurate with its classification, and all attributes assigned to that data must share that classification, including their unique identification tags as described in paragraph 2c of this enclosure.


(1)  The unclassified enterprise force structure baseline, founded on congressional authorizations for procurement and as organized by the DoD Components, is populated across a suite of org servers on the NIPRNET.  As shown in the table, unclassified org servers must be established and maintained by the Military Services, the CJCS, and the USD(P&R).

OSD Components and the Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities that report to them, except the four Intelligence Agencies under purview of the DIOS

 (2)  The unclassified baselines are mirrored in a companion suite of org servers that incorporate classified command structure.  Classified org servers are to be established and maintained by the Military Services, the CJCS, the USD(P&R), and the USD(I).  As shown in the table, the DIOS exists only on the SIPRNET.

c.  In accordance with Reference (l), all data within the org servers must be uniquely identified with a global force management identifier (GFMID) and its OUID subset for organizational elements.  The OUID implements the requirement for unique identification for organizations as directed by Reference (f).

d.  In accordance with the OFSC detailed in Reference (m), the enterprise force structure baselines documented in the org servers must include all organizational elements in their hierarchal positions of relative permanence.


(1)  All DoD doctrinal organizations, both predominately military (Active and Reserve Components) and civilian (OSD, Defense Agencies, and DoD Field Activities), organized into hierarchies in accordance with Military Service, joint doctrine, and OSD policy.


(2)  All DoD crew organizations that correspond to platforms that transport their operator(s).



(3)  All DoD billet-level organizational elements, including the Military Service members as well as civilians and contractors included in authoritative manning documents.  In accordance with Reference (l), billet OUIDs are documented and managed by the component that is the authoritative manager or processor of the majority of that billet's activity.



(a)  The JOS is the authoritative data source for the OUIDs of Military Service billets under CJCS authority, as well as Combatant Command Headquarters Staff, NGB authority, and the U.S. elements of NATO and NORAD.



(b)  The OSDOS is the authoritative data source for the OUIDs of Military Service billets under the authority of the OSD Components or the organizations that report to them (i.e., the Defense Agencies or Field Activities), except for those Defense Intelligence organizations in the DIOS.



(c)  The DIOS is the authoritative data source for the OUIDs of Military Service billets within the NRO and the three Defense Intelligence CSAs.



(d)  For the OUIDs of joint billets in Military Service organizations, the org server of the Military Service that manages or processes the majority of that billet's activity (i.e., the Military Service to which the billet is embedded and performs the majority of its duties) is the authoritative source.  Instances in which the determination of a billet's majority activity is unclear are to be adjudicated by the Military Services involved.

e.  In accordance with Reference (n) and guidance of the CCB, the enterprise force structure baselines documented in the org servers must also include the authorization inventory for all DoD crewed platforms and beyond line-of-sight unmanned aerial vehicles.

f.  Every org server must publish, in compliance with GFM DI artifacts and tagged with authoritative GFMIDs, the file of official reference data unique to that Component, for use by other org servers and consumers of org server data.  Reference data includes person-types, person-type skill attributes, alias-types, and materiel-types.  USD(P&R) must publish the file of DoD-wide reference data which is used across DoD Components (see section 1d(7)(a) of Enclosure 2 of this instruction).

g.  In accordance with paragraph 1d(7)(c) of Enclosure 2 of this instruction, USD(P&R) must also be responsible for publishing the upper echelon force structure data common to all of the DoD Components, known as the Bridge and as described in section 18 of Reference (m).


h.  In accordance with Reference (n), the org servers must include equipment-type data associated with crew organizations.  Equipment authorized to billet organizations (i.e., necessary to fulfill the billet's function), may also be associated but are not mandated.

i.  In accordance with Reference (n), the org servers must include the enterprise force structure baselines for the current year as well those programmed over the 6 future years of the Future Years Defense Program database.  As historical data accumulates, it is to be preserved in perpetuity, with 6 previous years' data resident within the org servers, and data beyond 6 years archived externally and available to authorized users.


j.  In accordance with References (e) and (n), org servers are to provide data that is timely, reliable, and accurate.

k.  In accordance with References (e) and (f), org server data is a strategic asset that must be appropriately secured, shared, and made available to any DoD user or mission partner to the maximum extent allowed by law and DoD policy.  Data is to be made available via the publication and subscription capabilities provided by the NCES of the DoD Information Network
(DoDIN).

l.  The org servers provide baselines only for enterprise force structure in positions of relative permanence, both for authorized forces within the administrative command structure and assigned forces within the CCMDs.  Temporary changes to those baselines (e.g., attached forces)
are documented by external consumers of enterprise force structure data. (1)  Systems across the DoD must consume, integrate, and augment enterprise force structure data in order to document allocated forces, and any other task organization under operational control, tactical control, support relationships, or temporary changes in administrative control, to provide the basis for integration of timely real world data (e.g., readiness, current location, planning and execution, logistics, and personnel data). (2)  Enterprise force structure data may be either consumed directly from the org servers or indirectly from intermediary systems.

m.  To enable DoD-wide interoperability, all DoD IT systems that document force structure related information must represent and identify such force structure in accordance with this instruction.  The common format of enterprise force structure is to be implemented natively by consumer systems, or else mediated by service-oriented architecture applications to support consumption for local use and translation back into the common format for exposure to the DoDIN.  Consumer systems that expose integrated or augmented force structure data to the DoDIN must do so in compliance with:

(1)  References (d), (e), (f), and (g) regarding sharing and management of enterprise information.


(2)  References (o), (p), and (q) regarding IA and protection.



(3)  References (r) and (s) regarding interoperability and NR KPP requirements.

(4)  Volumes 1 through 4 of Reference (t), regarding protection of classified and
controlled unclassified information.


(5)  References (w) and (x) regarding requirements of the DoD Privacy Program.

n.  Future and legacy systems need to consume enterprise force structure, in whole or in part.



(1)  For legacy systems, OUID integration alone may satisfy the data-sharing goals of Reference (e).


(2)  Due to technical constraints of the tactical environment, tactical edge emitters such as military force tracking systems must integrate their identifiers with OUIDs at the lowest echelon that is technically feasible (e.g., operation centers) for dissemination back through the tactical net.

o.  Investments for org server development and maintenance, and for the consumption of org server data by consumer systems, are to be managed in accordance with Reference (l).
