  Release and Blue Force Tracking 2 integrate with the Joint Battle Command-Platform to provide relevant
  position location information to units on the move.
  GATEWAY TRACKING SYSTEM
  A-40. The theater gateway in the U.S. Central Command’s AO utilizes a stand-alone, local Oracle Software
  Database, known as the Gateway Tracking System, to maintain visibility of passengers transiting theater.
  GLOBAL AIR TRANSPORTATION EXECUTION SYSTEM
  A-41. The Global Air Transportation Execution System is an Air Mobility Command aerial port operations
  and management information system designed to support automated cargo and passenger processing, the
  reporting of in-transit visibility data to the Global Transportation Network. This system also provides the
  billing to Air Mobility Command’s financial management directorate. It is a peripheral system to the U.S.
  Army personnel accountability systems and one of several systems managed under the Gates Enterprise
  Management System. It does not allow read-only rights, thus the reason the U.S. Air Force limits access.
  GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM-ARMY
  A-42. The Global Combat Support System-Army is the replacement for several of the Army’s current
  Standard Army Management Information Systems. The system tracks supply chain, maintenance, equipment,
  and financial transactions related to logistics for all Army units. It operates in-conjunction with other key
  systems and provides support personnel detailed information required by the Soldier and the current
  availability of needed materiel, to include items in the distribution system. The system addresses the Army’s
  current automation dilemma of having stove-piped systems, which are systems that do not share information
  horizontally among different functional areas. It employs state-of-the-art technology to include client-server
  technology designed to take full advantage of modern communications protocols and procedures. This design
  allows for maximum amount of communications capability and flexibility to take advantage of any available
  communication systems to include commercial or military, terrestrial, or space-based. The system complies
  with the defense information infrastructure, common operating environment and technical and data element
  standards. The system is also the first Army logistics system that maintains a daily interface with an Army
  HR system (for example, eMILPO).
  GLOBAL COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM-ARMY
  A-43. The Global Command and Control System-Army is the Army link for the Joint Battle Command-
  Platform to the Global Command and Control System. It provides a suite of modular applications and
  information and decision support to Army strategic and operational theater-level planning for theater
  operations and sustainment. The system supports the apportionment, allocation, logistics support, and
  deployment of Army forces to combatant commands. Functionality includes: force tracking; host-nation and
  civil military operations support; theater air defense; targeting; military information support operations;
  mission command; logistics; medical; provost marshal; counter-drug; and personnel status. The system
  primarily deploys from corps to division.
  JOINT BATTLE COMMAND-PLATFORM
  A-44. The Joint Battle Command-Platform is a secure data encrypted, high-speed satellite, networked
  information system that consists of next-generation mapping technology, chat and messaging capability,
  along with an improved user graphical interface. It enables Army forces to share real-time friendly, enemy,
  and battlefield situational awareness, operational maps and graphics, and command and control messages.
  The Joint Battle Command-Platform includes an intuitive interface, touch-to-zoom maps, and drag-and-drop
  icons to deliver situational awareness capabilities to operations centers, ground vehicles, aviation assets, and
  dismounted Soldiers. It incorporates the Mounted Family of Computer Systems, which is a common
  hardware solution used to ensure tactical computers are scalable and tailorable to the mission and vehicle.
  Configurations range in options from a detachable tablet to a fully loaded vehicle-mounted workstation. The
  Joint Battle Command-Platform provides blue (friendly) and red (enemy) situational awareness, network
