GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. SITUATION. I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) ENABLER OF OUR LOGMOD CAMPAIGN, GCSS-MC, IS AN OPERATIONAL REALITY AT III MEF. FULL OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY (FOC) FOR BLOCK 1, RELEASE 1.1 WAS ATTAINED ON 3 JUN 2011.  THE ATTAINMENT OF THIS IMPORTANT PROGRAM MILESTONE BENEFITS THE WARFIGHTER AND IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR LOGMOD INITIATIVE.  IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, THIS MESSAGE IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES DELINEATING THE COORDINATION REQUIRED FOR THE SUNSET/RETIREMENT OF LEGACY LOG IT SYSTEMS AS WE INCREMENTALLY EXECUTE MARINE CORPS-WIDE IMPLEMENTATION. SPECIFICALLY, FOR THE III MEF AOR, THIS ENTAILS THE RETIREMENT OF SASSY, MIMMS, PC MIMMS, AND ATLASS. ULTIMATELY, EFFICIENCIES GAINED BY THE FULL DEPLOYMENT OF GCSS-MC BLOCK 1 AND THE RETIREMENT OF LEGACY SYSTEMS WILL ALLOW DC IL THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE REINVESTMENT OF RESOURCES WITHIN THE LOGISTICS IT PORTFOLIO.
2.  MISSION. NLT 30 SEP 2011 III MEF, IN COORDINATION WITH IL (CODE: LPC), PROGRAM MANAGER (PM) LOGISTICS INFORMATION SYSTEMS (LIS), AND MCLC, WILL CLOSE OUT ATLASS/SASSY/MIMMS/PC MIMMS LEGACY AIS AND LATENT SUPPLY MANAGEMENT TRANSACTIONS.
3.  EXECUTION.
3.A. COMMANDERS INTENT. AS CONDITIONS FOR TOTAL FORCE IMPLEMENTATION (TFI) ARE SATISFIED AND THE FULL BENEFITS OF GCSS-MC ARE REALIZED, DC IL WILL DIRECT THE DELIBERATE AND SYSTEMATIC RETIREMENT OF LEGACY SYSTEMS. ATTAINMENT OF THIS IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE WILL POSTURE DC IL TO LEVERAGE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY GAINS AS SAVINGS FOR REINVESTMENT OF RESOURCES ACROSS THE LOGISTICS IT PORTFOLIO. THE SUNSET/RETIREMENT OF ATLASS/SASSY/MIMMS/PC MIMMS IN THE III MEF AOR IS THE FIRST STEP IN ACHIEVING THIS OBJECTIVE.
3.B. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. THE SEQUENCING FOR THE SUNSET/RETIREMENT OF LEGACY IT SYSTEMS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THREE PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE WILL OCCUR AT III MEF NLT 30 SEP 2011 AS A RESULT OF ITS ATTAINMENT OF GCSS-MC BLOCK 1, RELEASE 1.1 FOC. FOR SUBSEQUENT PHASES, HQMC LP WILL DIRECT AND FINALIZE THE SUNSET/RETIREMENT OF LEGACY SYSTEMS UPON THE ATTAINMENT OF A FULL DEPLOYMENT DECISION (FDD) FOR TFI DURING 3RD QTR, FY12 AND UPON THE DECLARATION OF GCSS-MC BLOCK 1 FULL DEPLOYMENT (FD) DURING 2ND QTR, FY13 FOR THE SECOND AND THIRD PHASES, RESPECTIVELY, AS DETERMINED BY THE MILESTONE DECISION AUTHORITY (MDA).
