MCEN Unification Plan Question: (C4) What is the MCEN Unification Plan (MCEN-UP)?

Answer:  The MCEN-UP provides a roadmap of technical and policy actions being executed to gain Information Technology efficiencies.  The MCEN-UP is the Marine Corps’ way forward to support the transition of our government owned, government operated, service specific network to the Joint Information Environment (JIE).  The MCEN-UP unifies and synchronizes all MCEN lines of effort to ensure the Marine Corps’ ability to securely and rapidly deliver a robust and seamless information environment, for both its warfighting and business missions. Facts:  The MCEN provides robust, seamless and secure end to end communications – from the supporting establishment to our forward deployed forces.  30 June 2013 the MCEN became owned and operated by Marines. A continuity of services contract with HP runs until 30 April 2014 that provides contract technical assistance under the direction of the Marine Corps.  MCEN unification allows for: – Centralized control and decentralized execution – Regionalization and empowerment of local end user service delivery – Enhanced defensibility and improved security awareness through fewer attack points  End state of the MCEN Unification Plan is an increased ability for the warfighter to collaborate and share information for heightened situational awareness and provide access to knowledge bases from which actionable information may be obtained.

C4 Director’s Intent The MCEN is the Marine Corps’ network-of-networks and approved interconnected network segments. It comprises people, processes, logical and physical infrastructure, architecture, topology, and Cyberspace operations. The MCEN must provide unified network processes and services to facilitate a tactical, operational, and strategic advantage by providing Marines with the same capabilities and standardized tool sets from flag pole to fighting hole. As the Marine Corps exits the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) contract and transitions to a government owned and government operated (GO/GO) environment, we must unify disparate MCEN elements.

Brigadier General Kevin J. Nally, USMC Director, C4 Excerpt from MCEN Unification Plan

Purpose: The MCEN Unification Plan (MUCP) 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 Environment (MCIENT). Guiding Principles 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Regionalization and Empowerment of Local End User Service Delivery Standardization and Normalization Consolidation and Virtualization Synchronization with Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) Mission Oriented Architecture

Joint Information Environment (JIE) What it is

What it is NOT

 Federated Networks with:  

A joint Common Environment Built to Standard Regulations

 A Secure, Defendable, Redundant, Resilient Environment  Open Architecture  Shared IT Infrastructure & Enterprise Services  Identity Access Management (CAC)  Services O&M their portion of JIE  Services provide mission-unique capabilities that use shared Infrastructure and Enterprise Services

 Taking over Service Networks  DoD’s unilateral ability to make unilateral decisions and/or uncoordinated Cyber Operations on IT assets  Program of Record / Joint Program Office  Provided, Operated, & Maintained by DoD  It shall remain an individual Service’s responsibility IAW US Code

Outcomes • • • • •

Data Access & Information Sharing Improved Joint Mission Effectiveness More Effective Training Increased Security IT Efficiencies – Optimizing Resources

10

JIE ~ Initial Focus on Big Rocks Network Normalization  Common network standards and TTPs

 Single Security Architecture

Data Center Consolidation  Core Enterprise Data Center Standards  Service Data Center consolidation plans move to a Department focused plan

Identity and Access Management  Access the Network from anywhere  Attributes access to data

Enterprise Services  Common capabilities across the Department  Mission specific applications remain

Governance  Move Service IT efforts into optimized DoD plan

Unification Governance Tri-Levels 1. The UMB is a General Officer/Senior Executive Service executive body approving Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) Unification strategy and plans, resolving issues which cross the boundaries of governance, operations, requirements, resource, and acquisition. It provides strategic direction to the Unification Management Council (UMC) and Unification Management Group (UMG). 2. The UMC is an Col/GS15 decision-making body that coordinates MCEN Unification changes within available program and project schedules and financial resources. The UMC determines updates and decisions requiring escalation to the UMB.

3. The UMG is the principal management working group that oversees daily MCEN Unification activities, conducts issue and risk status reviews, and advises the UMC and UMB. The UMG determines updates and decisions requiring escalation to the UMC. 17
