ALUT IN ACTION
Soldiers and civilians participate in ALUT, which provides key personnel in every Army unit receiving GCSS-Army with the knowledge they will need to spearhead the transition to the new system. The classes are three days long and are conducted at either the PM GCSS-Army facility in Petersburg, VA, or a gaining unit’s location if that is more economically feasible.

All NETs are instructor-facilitated, Web-capable and simulation-based, with basic bridging information to reinforce the new process tasks and steps required to complete the scenarios. Te NETs also introduce and reinforce navigation techniques and self-help training aids within the portal and EUM+. Tis program will ensure that all users who receive NET can perform their core processes with little or no assistance before the changeover to GCSS-Army.
take 40 hours of NET in a classroom environment. Te NET process, which is critical to successful implementation of GCSS-Army, is designed to concentrate on core processes performed daily and weekly within the business areas.
Te final piece of GCSS-Army’s OCM program is the over-the-shoulder support after the changeover. For a period of 14 to no more than 30 days, GCSS-Army trainers will remain on-site and, where required, help with mission-critical tasks learned during NET.
Learning how to use the system is not the only challenge that stakeholders need to overcome. GCSS-Army will also replace century-old terminology with standard industry terminology that will move the military environment closer to its industry counterparts.
CONCLUSION At first glance, the challenges of learning the new system might seem overwhelming to some users. However, the carefully thought-out OCM plan, along with the number and variety of OCM tools that PM GCSS-Army will employ during the transition, are designed to help reduce any turbulence that the users will experience when they begin operating GCSS-Army.
Te fielding of GCSS-Army will allow the Army to decrease stockpiles of materiel and enable the “factory to foxhole” distribution that reduces costs, avoids waste and improves readiness throughout the Army.
