National Security and Force Modernization

Examples of Quantum's current work in the area of  National Security and Force Modernization:

ARMY G8 DIRECTORATE OF INTEGRATION SUPPORT

• Prime contractor that supports the transformation of the Army from the Current Force to the Future Force through the planning and fielding of all modernized and retrofitted equipment in an integrated and synchronized manner.

• Support the acquisition, assessment and fielding of the Army’s Family of Future Combat Systems (FCS). This requires an in-depth understanding of U.S. Army vision and goals for transformation, and the requirements for FCS programming, coordination, integration, test, and synchronization across both Army and joint forces. 

• Provide support to the DOI’s Test and Evaluation Directorate by assisting in preparation of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team Operational Evaluation and participating in all events that support the evaluation.  We assist the DOI in its mission of providing test, evaluation, and experimentation oversight of “high interest” Army programs such as Stryker, Gateway systems and Army staff management of the Joint Test and Evaluation Program. 

• Provide support to DOI’s Technical Integration Division in the areas of technology integration, PPBES support, and overall force development.  Examples include development of the Software Blocking implementation strategy; support to the Army Horizontal Technology Integration program; the Joint Blue Force Situational Awareness (JBFSA) effort; C4ISR and ABCS information operations integration strategies; Combat Identification strategy development and review; intra-Army interoperability certifications; and TRADOC MDEP oversight.

• Provide database development, update and maintenance (in support of force development, unit set fielding, and software blocking requirements); support to C4ISR architecture development and system of systems initiatives in support of Army Modernization and Unit Set Fielding; strategic planning activities; and programmatic activities to synchronize activities within the DOI to ensure information exchange between the Director and his Directorates.

• Provide DOI MACOM Coordination Cells at HQ AMC, HQ TRADOC, and HQ FORSCOM to serve as the DOI focal point to synchronize actions relating to Army Transformation, Unit Set Fielding, Army Transformation Campaign Plan, and funding activities associated with those programs. 

• Provide Force Development Transformation Cells at installations throughout CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii and Germany.  Focal point for all Army Transformation Related activity including Unit Set Fielding, Software Blocking, and all other transformation-related activities. This support includes developing briefings, web sites and databases for Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, the USF Modernization Schedule and Army Order of Precedence briefings.

ARMY G4 UNIT SET MANAGEMENT BRANCH SUPPORT: Provide logistical expertise to the Unit Set Management Branch (USMB) to enable seamless implementation of the strategy and integration policy of the G-4 in support of the CSA’s transformation to the Modularity Force as dictated by the Army Campaign Plan. Quantum provides support for Unit Set Fielding, Setting the Force, Unit Set Integrated Logistics System (USILS), Strategic Reporting System (SRS), Unit Set Readiness Reporting, and the Logistics Execution Information System (LEXIS).

• Monitoring Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) materiel release status, get-well plans, Materiel Release forecasts and assistance in the coordination and execution of Interim Materiel Release and normal materiel release procedures to include Full and Conditional Materiel Releases.

• Identifying SBCT Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) shortages, overages, out-of-production items; responsible Program Managers (PMs)/Item Managers, Program Executive Officers (PEOs), Systems Integrators (SI) and Force Integration Staff Officers (FISO); and assisting with issues associated with the provisioning of MTOE required equipment/items.

• Ensuring that all SBCT MTOE items managed by the Army Materiel Command are issued to the SBCTs and other transferring units.

• Coordinating with the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) to identify on-hand, serviceable, and excess equipment available for SBCT MTOE provisioning requirements.

• Creating, utilizing, and maintaining computer-generated documents, spreadsheets, databases and graphics to track all SBCT/Transformation equipment provisioning and sustainment.

• Developing, staffing and coordinating AMC Transformation related OPLANS, OPORDERS, Operation and Organization Plans (O & O Plans), and other Stryker plans as required by the Government. 

TRAINING SUPPORT TO DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY: Developing a training program to build a counter-insurgency analytic capability to support Multi-National Forces Iraq, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff that provides the necessary sociological and historical information that analysts will need to fully grasp the complexities of the Iraqi insurgency and  to effectively devise warning capabilities for future danger as well as to develop strategic plans for eliminating the support necessary for the insurgency to function.
