FIELDING MADE SIMPLER


FIGURE 1 USF PHASE 2: Fielding Execution


 Execution of individual system training.  Mission command systems integration training.  Support of unit collective training events.


USF PHASE 3: Deployment Support


 Support as requested to exercise upper and lower tactical Internet connectivity checks or digital exercise.


 Transition of unit sustainment responsibilities to in-theater sustainment infrastructure.


UNIT MODERNIZATION USF Phase 4: Support While Deployed


 Support during in-theater operations.  Support pre-reset requirements.


USF PHASE 1: Planning


 Sync meeting in which fielding and new equipment training are coordinated for 48-plus systems.


 Systems architecture and data product plans.  New materiel in-briefs (NMIBs) scheduled.


USF Phase 5: Reset


 Reset to HQDA readiness standards.  Unit equipping and reuse conference syncs reset and upgrades to new equipment training and fielding.


 New fieldings, NMIBs.  Re-training/delta training (training owed to unit from last fielding).

the required training and lay out the order in which the systems can be


fi elded. T e synchronization


meeting uses a round-robin format so that each unit can sit down with each PM representative and ham- mer out a fi elding and training schedule. T e training is aligned with the unit’s


schedule, giving


decision-making power to the unit. With all the PM representatives in the same room with the unit, the USF process ensures that units leave with all questions answered. T e process also eliminates the need for PMs to travel to meet with units individually, which saves time and travel expenses.

By eliminating the previous process whereby individual PMs fi elded diff erent units on diff erent sched- ules, USF allows Soldiers to focus on training without the


distrac-


tions of fi elding details. It has also increased the breadth of capabilities the C4ISR community can fi eld to units at one time.


Biweekly USF battle update briefs allow representatives from the USF community to update the C4ISR senior leaders on the current sta- tus of


all programmed, planned


and ongoing fi elding, training and reset operations for units across all Army fi eld support brigade regions.


T e briefs provide a way to quickly identify areas that need additional command emphasis or rapid deci- sions regarding fi elding operations across all Army components.
