Director's Intent

The Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) is the Marine Corps' network-of-networks and approved interconnected network segments. It comprises people, processes, logical and physical infrastructure, architecture, topology, tools, and Cyberspace operations. The MCEN is characterized at a minimum to include: (1) Programs of Record (POR) that provide network services to forward deployed forces operating in the USMC.mil and USMC.smil.mil namespace and in USMC routable IP addresses and (2) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) functions that provision data transportation, enterprise Information Technology (IT), network services, and boundary defense. The MCEN interfaces with external networks to provide information and resource sharing, as well as access to external services. Finally, when end user devices, sensors, applications, and appliances are connected to the MCEN, they become part of the network through a relationship established at an interface point. The MCEN must provide unified network processes and services to facilitate a tactical, operational, and strategic advantage by providing Marines with the same IT capabilities and standardized tool sets from flag pole to fighting hole.

Purpose: The MCEN Unification Plan (MUP) provides a roadmap of near-term actions to unify the MCEN. Unification and synchronization of disparate MCEN elements will ensure the MCEN's ability to securely and rapidly deliver a robust and seamless information environment in accordance with the Marine Corps Information Enterprise Strategy (MCIENT).

Method: All efforts to unify the MCEN will be guided by the following principles:

• Regionalization and Empowerment of Local End User Service Delivery
• Standardization and Normalization
• Optimization
• Consolidation and Virtualization
• Synchronization with the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN)
• Mission Oriented Architecture

We will drive MCEN unification through four complimentary Lines of Effort (LOE):

• IT Governance
• Telecommunications Service Management
• Enterprise Services Management
• Enterprise Services Portfolio Management

End-State: The future operations of the MCEN must be centrally managed by the Marine Corps Network Operations and Security Center (MCNOSC) and directly supported by the Regional Network Operations and Security Centers (RNOSC) and the Marine Corps Installation Command (MCICOM) G-6s, but decentrally executed by the eight regional Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Information Technology Support Centers (MITSC), Base, Post, Camp, and Station S-6s, and our Operating Force Commands.

MCEN UNIFICATION PLAN 2014 - 2017 ▲ 4

The future MCEN must support Unified Capabilities (UC); defined as the integration of voice, video, and data services delivered ubiquitously across an interoperable, secure, and highly available network infrastructure that is independent of the type of technology.

The future MCEN must provide an increased ability to collaborate and share information for heightened situational awareness and provide access to knowledge bases in which information can be researched expeditiously.

Core Transition Plan

Figure 1 Core Transition

The Marine Corps Next Generation Enterprise Network - Core Transition Plan (NGEN-CTP), dated 30 May 2012, provided a framework of steps required to migrate from Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services (HPES) via the Continuity of Services Contract (CoSC) to a Government Owned/Government Operated (GO/GO) environment supported by the NGEN program. The NGEN-CTP outlined seven phases of transition. Phases one through five are CoSC transition activities that were described within the NGEN-CTP. Phase 6 and Phase 7 are post-CoSC transition activities that were not detailed in the NGEN-CTP.

We must balance seamless enterprise capabilities with local and regional service delivery to allow maximum flexibility and responsiveness to supported commanders. End user support will be accomplished by empowering helpdesks and Information Systems Coordinators (ISC) to resolve incidents, fulfill service requests, and track end user issues to completion. An empowered helpdesk facilitates effective responses to issues, incidents, and problems. Standardization, Normalization, and Optimization The MCEN must continue to be governed by existing standards and regulations while assimilating new processes, tools, and technologies across the enterprise. The MCEN must be standardized, normalized, and then optimized by conforming to standards in order to be positioned to influence the development of the Joint Information Environment (JIE) and allow the Marine Corps to take a leadership role as the Department of Defense (DoD) seeks to increase the security and improve the efficiency of the DODIN. MCEN UNIFICATION PLAN 2014 - 2017 ▲ 6

• Standardized:
  • Network Plans and Policy
  • IT Services/IT Service Management Processes
  • IT Architecture and Configuration Control
  • Training
• Normalized:
  • Hardware/Software/Operating Systems/Utilities
  • IT Service Management and Network Management Tools
  • Data Center Identification/Reporting
  • MCEN Wide Area Network (WAN) Infrastructure
  • End User Services
  • Defense In Depth
• Optimized:
  • Network Management
  • Applications/Data Hosting
  • UC Implemented
  • 75% Services Cloud Enabled

Consolidation and Virtualization Fiscal constraints and operational requirements require the consolidation of resources by leveraging virtualization technology. We will separate logical configurations from physical infrastructures where feasible and cost effective to improve hardware resource utilization and collapse security boundaries into a single security architecture that reduces the external attack surfaces, standardizes security controls, and aligns with JIE concepts. We must dynamically apply network and server capacity to meet operational requirements with minimal excess.

• Consolidate and Virtualize
  • Data Centers
  • Servers (Virtual Servers)
  • Networks (Virtual Private Networks (VPN))
  • Desktops (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI))
  • Applications (Virtual Application Provisioning)

Synchronization with DODIN The MCEN’s infrastructure is analogous to the DODIN. The MCEN must remain in compliance with DODIN standards and policies. Synchronizing with the DODIN will ensure uninterrupted MCEN services for deployed Marines and position the Marine Corps to make maximum use of all DODIN services.

• Synchronize With:
  • DoD JIE

Mission Oriented Architecture The MCEN Architecture is not oriented on geography, organizations, security, or technology. All of these things influence the MCEN Architecture; however, the MCEN Architecture must be oriented on the effective delivery of services in direct support of mission objectives. By looking to mission support

MCEN UNIFICATION PLAN 2014 - 2017 ▲ 7

requirements, the MCEN Architecture will provide an effective balance between centralized management and decentralized end-user support.

Line of Effort 1: IT Governance

Objective 1C Update annually Information Resources Management (IRM) 2300-01 MCEN Supporting Establishment Concept of Employment (SE COE)

Concepts highlighted in this document are the Marine Corps' regionalization strategy centered on four regions that form the backbone of all net-centric operations. Each region is supported by an RNOSC (National Capital Region (NCR), Marine Forces Command (MARFORCOM), Marine Forces Reserves (MARFORRES), and Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC)). The four regions encompass a total of eight sub-regions which are based on either geographical proximity or functional alignment. The sub-regions further support the regional backbone for all net-centric operations. All Marine Corps Bases/Posts/Stations (B/P/S) fall into one of these sub-regions. The sub-regions include HQMC, NCR, East, Reserves, West, Mid Pacific, West Pacific, and Europe. Each sub-region is supported by a single MITSC designed to provide IT services to garrison Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEFs), Marine Reserve Forces and Marine Corps Supporting Establishments (SE) within its area of responsibility. Each B/P/S provides touch labor in support of their respective MITSC. Operational control of the MCEN in this regionally-based architecture results in two significant changes to how commanders fulfill their Network Operations (NetOps) mission:

• The first is a realignment of NetOps authorities for global, regional, and local tasking and reporting. Operational NetOps reporting and execution is now accomplished through each RNOSC.
• The second involves implementation of enterprise-wide ITSM processes/tools for maintaining Situational Awareness (SA), network C2 in the execution of the NetOps mission, and delivery of IT services and capabilities to support garrison/deployed units. ITSM binds enterprise, regional, and local NetOps for the purpose of enabling Command and Control (C2) and providing effective, efficient, and responsive delivery of essential IT services to the Marine Corps customer and user bases. NetOps supports all aspects of the Marine Corps mission and spans all Marine Corps organizations. ITSM integrates the IT Governance, IT Acquisition, and IT Operations.

Objective 3F Implement Marine Corps Enterprise Information Technology System (MCEITS)

The Marine Corps' net-centric capability will be enabled via the Enterprise Application Environment (EAE) and the Enterprise Services and Data Environment (ESDE) that will be instantiated in the Enterprise IT Centers (EITC). These program elements form the Enterprise Services Layer of the MAGTF C2 Framework. The EAE hosts and provides access to MCEITS-provided applications, as well as other enterprise-class services, via an Enterprise Portal Framework (EPF). The MCEITS services will allow the Marine Corps to deliver solutions by providing enterprise wide services. The ESDE provides the environment for net-centric interoperability by enabling the sharing of data and services, monitoring the enterprise-wide discovery of people, content and services. The overall MCEITS environment will be managed through the MCEITS Operations Center (MOC) Functional Mission that will be integrated into the MCNOSC.

MCEITS platforms will provide information access and collaboration capability for Marine Corps users and enable warfighting and business processes on both the NIPRNet and SIPRNet. MCEITS capabilities will be successively refined through Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and input from analysis conducted in the Systems Integration Environment (SIE) through a series of Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3Is).

Line of Effort 4: Enterprise Service Portfolio Management

Objective 4A Develop plans and policies for the resourcing and sustainment of applications

In order to meet expected increased demand and further manage new technology insertions, an Application Management Plan will be created to enable governance of Marine Corps applications. This governance will ensure configuration control, sustainment, the phase out of legacy applications no longer supportable, define Software Asset Management (SWAM), and detail SWAM's implementation within the MCEN. This plan will address the development of cost effective changes and maintain operational security of the network, establish the procedures and guidelines, define responsibilities, specify requirements, and facilitate the implementation of standardized business practices.

Task 4.A.1 Identify a process owner for Application Management who will be tasked to refine "Centralized Application Management," which includes Software Asset and License Management for the Marine Corps in support of the DON initiative for cost savings Task 4.A.2 Identify and develop application processes and procedures associated with SWAM to include Application Life Cycle for desktop, server, and tactical applications and licenses Task 4.A.3 Develop an Applications Management Process Guide that outlines the inclusion, testing, certification and sustainment of both commercial off the shelf (COTS) and government off the shelf (GOTS) Software. This will include third party applications used in development of IT-related Programs of Record (POR) with MCSC's Product Manager (PdM) Marine Corps Enterprise Services (MCES)/Strategic Application Management (SAM). Task 4.A.4 Develop Applications Management Governance that generates policies and fiscal implementation of the processes defined in the Application Management Process Guide Task 4.A.5 Identify training requirements for SWAM and License Management at the Tier Levels Task 4.A.6 Maintain accurate IT inventories of the Marine Corps IT Portfolio (a collection of COTS, GOTS, and joint systems/applications used within the MCIENT and certify annual review of all IT systems and applications registered in DoD Information Technology Portfolio Repository (DITPR)-DON and DON Application and Database Management System (DADMS)
