GENTEXT/REMARKS/ 1. The purpose of this message is to outline the
coordination required for the sunset/retirement of legacy Global
Force Management (GFM) applications, Force Management Tool (FMT) and
SLIDER.
2. Situation. This message delineates the coordination required
for The sunset/retirement of legacy GFM applications, FMT and
SLIDER, as we transition to GSAMPS as the new program of record
(POR). Included are details pertaining to the application replacing
FMT, the mitigation plan in place during the projected period of
inactivity for both systems, and the required actions for access to
the new application.
2.a. No later than (NLT) 03 October 2025, GSAMPS will replace FMT
and SLIDER applications as the new POR delivering a GFM
enterprise analytics capability for the Marine Corps. It will
expand functionality by integrating data from key systems-
including Total Force Structure Management System (TFSMS),
Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS), and Defense Readiness
Reporting System (DRRS) to reflect both current and planned
Force Employment. This integration will enable data-driven,
analytical decision support and provide a unified Marine Corps
common operating picture across tactical, operational, and
institutional levels.
2.b. The FMT application serves as Marine Corps Force Generator
and Allocation Planner aligning specific units to validated
Combatant Commander (CCDR) and service requirements. Provides
Marine Corps stakeholders with a common picture of global
requirements and the ability to register, track, and source
Marine Corps forces and capabilities.
2.c. The SLIDER application provides the most updated data of
unit employment to develop service responses to Joint Staff J-3/5
South (JS-J35S) with an analytical focus of capacity, risks, and
impacts. It provides Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) with a
graphical posture and global view of its capabilities in order to
conduct capacity assessments based on location of its forces today
and where they will be tomorrow. Ultimately, allows users to
graphically create a Training and Exercise Employment Plan (TEEP)
capability picture, and manipulate, analyze and present general
employment schedules for any number of units.
2.d. GSAMPS is an application nested within the Strategic Management
Decision Support (SMDS) program. GSAMPS is the first of six use
cases and will be the first enterprise level system with a fully
integrated, automated capability to effectively execute the GFM
mission. GSAMPS will bridge the gap between Marine Corps Title Ten
Force offerings, Force/Institutional risk assessment decisions and
Joint Staff/Office of Secretary of Defense perspectives of USMC force
availability. GSAMPS is hosted in the Digital Network Applications
(DNA) Department, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division
(NAWDAD), Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in Impact Level 5 (IL5)
(NIPR) and Impact Level 6 (IL6) (SIPR) cloud environments with the
production environment located in the IL6 SIPR cloud.
3. Mission. In accordance with ref (A), The GSAMPS user community
includes all operational commands, supporting establishments and
headquarter staffs participating in Force Synchronization or Global
Force Management tasks to develop sourcing solutions and/or identify
operational or institutional risk to source. Marines and civilians
who participate in supporting GFM processes perform these duties in
support of their current role and area of responsibility within the
unit. Accordingly, no specific military occupational specialty (MOS)
is required to operate the system.
4. Execution
4.a. Commander's Intent
4.a.1. Period of Inactivity
4.a.1.a. There will be a projected period of inactivity taking place

entry, and data visibility. Upon close of business on 29 August
2025, DC Plans, Policies and Operations (PP&O), Current
Operations-South (POC-S) will download FMT's data base for fiscal
years (FY) 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 in support of the mitigation
plan outlined in paragraph 4.c.
4.a.2. Upon the activation of GSAMPS NLT 03 October 2025, legacy

user visibility and actions within their approved user roles and
permissions.
4.b. DRRS
4.b.1 NLT 28 Aug 2025, FMT will not maintain current DRRS

to core readiness ratings however assigned ratings will not be
available until a later release iteration. Requesting all users who
