THIS FUNCTIONAL ALIGNMENT PROVIDES A MEANS TO CATEGORIZE, UNDERSTAND
AND MANAGE OUR CURRENT SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH
REF E THE UNDERSECRETARY OF NAVY HAS DIRECTED THAT APPLICATIONS BE
REDUCED WITHIN THE SERVICES AND ACROSS THE DEPT IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE
OVERLAP AND REDUNDANCY. THE 24 FUNCTIONAL AREAS ARE DIVIDED INTO
SECNAV LEVEL FAMS, OPNAV LEVEL FAMS, AND MARINE CORPS AND NAVY FAMS.
THE MARINE CORPS IS CONSIDERED A STAKEHOLDER WITHIN THE SECNAV AND
OPNAV FUNCTIONAL AREAS AND HAS PROVIDED A REPRESENTATIVE TO ENSURE
MARINE CORPS REQUIREMENTS ARE CAPTURED. IN ORDER TO MORE ACCURATELY
AND AGGRESSIVELY MANAGE THE USMC SOFTWARE ASSETS A FORMAL SOFTWARE
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PROCESS IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

BASELINE, THE MARINE CORPS ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PORTFOLIO IS THE
