USF allows units to get the big picture of the planning required for the order of fielding, training requirements and integration of the various capabilities. To effectively schedule a new equipment training plan, fieldings must occur in a specific order so that training reflects how Soldiers fight. For example, data products must be fielded before the situ- ational awareness capabilities of Joint Battle Command – Platform, Tactical Mission Command products and WIN- T. Tose capabilities must be delivered before the Standard Integrated Com- mand Post Shelters.


With everyone at the same table, USF averts conflicts in training and schedul- ing. Tis is particularly important for National Guard and Reserve units, as they often have different training challenges than active Army Soldiers, requiring siz- able commitments of people, time and resources. Te USF process takes into consideration that Guard and Reserve units do not always have the available manpower to train, that they may need to find a secure place to store the equipment during training, and that suitable loca- tions to host training exercises might not be readily available.


year. Te USF approach so far has sup- ported the successful and timely delivery of CS 13 to the first two units.


Some of the C4ISR systems fielded through USF include Warfighter Infor- mation Network – Tactical (WIN-T), which provides the tactical communica- tions network backbone; radios that allow commanders and Soldiers to take the network with them in vehicles and while


dismounted; situational awareness and Blue Force Tracking technology; and mission command systems. Units have embraced the USF process, welcoming the training and support it brings. Tey have said it would be difficult for them to know exactly what was needed to properly field C4ISR equipment without the direct support of the various program manager (PM) representatives.


A PHASED APPROACH USF includes five phases: the planning or synchronization meeting; fielding execu- tion; deployment support; support while deployed; and the reset and reuse phase. (See Figure 1 on Page 62.) Commands and program managers meet at the first and fifth phases to coordinate events and schedule fielding and training, while the other three phases focus on setup, train- ing, execution and support. Te phases are as follows:
