About this eBook
The Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) has served as the principal vehicle for communication between the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the Operational Commands of the U.S. Armed Forces since the 1970's. In its original form WWMCCS was a large network of mainframe computers that facilitated centralized control of the widely dispersed U.S. force structure. The System was managed as a joint asset by the Defense Communication Agency (DCA) and functioned as on online open channel for the large volume of routine communications (i.e. unit readiness reports, logistics and support inventories, local conditions) that are the foundation of day-to-day and contingency planning.
