'''Global Command and Control System''' (GCCS) is the United States' armed forces DoD joint [[command and control]] (C2) system used to provide accurate, complete, and timely information for the operational [[command hierarchy|chain of command]] for U.S. armed forces. "GCCS" is most often used to refer to the computer system, but actually consists of hardware, software, common procedures, standards, and numerous applications and interfaces that make up an “operational"operational architecture”architecture" that provides worldwide connectivity with all levels of command. GCCS incorporates systems that provide [[situation awareness|situational awareness]], support for intelligence, force planning, readiness assessment, and deployment applications that battlefield commanders require to effectively plan and execute joint military operations.

The Navy's life cycle development of what is currently referred to as the Global Command and Control System, was and continues to be evolutionary in nature and will probably never result in a permanent system. From the early 1980s when SPAWARs PD-40 VADM Jerry O. Tuttle's Joint Operations Tactical System was the premier system, through the tenure of VADM John Gauss's Joint Maritime Command Information System (JMCIS), the final product would be realized as the Global Command and Control System (GCCS), introduced conceptually by the Defense Intelligence Support Agency (DISA).
