==History==

GCCS evolved from earlier predecessors such as TBMCS (Theater Battle Management Core Systems) to fulfill a requirement for technological, procedural, and security improvements to the aging [[Worldwide Military Command and Control System]], aka [[WWMCCS]], and its [[TEMPEST]] requirements of Cold War defense from wire tapping and electomagnetic signal interceptions, to include physical (special wire and cabinet shielding, double locks) and operational {special access passes and passwords) measures. On August 30, 1996, DISA officially pulled the plug on WMMCSWWMCCS and the Joint Staff declared the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) as the joint command and control system of record. <ref> {{cite web |url=http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/c3i/gccs.htm |title=GCCS |accessdate=2012-10-19 }}</ref>
