J83 Resource Analyst
US Joint Forces Command
(Government Agency; Defense & Space industry)
January 2010 — Present (3 months)
Developmental assignment in the Capability Resource Management Division (J83) of U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Capability Development Directorate (JCD / J8).
The J8 identifies near-and far-term joint, multinational, and interagency capability gaps and works with other combatant commands, the services, coalition partners, and agencies to fill those shortfalls with integrated capabilities. The JCD, through its role as the Joint C2 Capability Portfolio Manager (JC2 CPM), leads USJFCOM engagement in DoD command & control requirements, resourcing, and acquisition processes, and provides a joint focal point to orchestrate, integrate, and manage designated JC2 portfolio programs.
The J83 Capability Resource Management Division is the primary interface with the Department of Defense’s C2 Acquisition and Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) communities. It supports the JCD Director and C2 CPM regarding C2 portfolio resources, investment decision support, analysis and execution oversight in accordance with the PPBE process and strategic direction. It interfaces with the C2 acquisition community as necessary to inform C2 portfolio acquisition and procurement recommendations related to the development, migration and delivery of C2 capabilities.
The primary objective of the developmental assignment is to integrate data from the DoD Resources Data Warehouse with information and data resident in other databases and management tools. The intended products will include integrated summaries which portray (through charts, data, and text) the resources aligned to the C2 portfolio to help better define the C2 portfolio baseline. -
