USMC IT Environment
The USMC enterprise consists of a globally
interconnected, end-to-end set of information
capabilities, associated processes, and
personnel for collecting, processing, storing,
disseminating and managing information on
demand to warfighters and the supporting
establishment.
IT Concept
The USMC IT framework consists of three
interconnected environments (units) within a
Joint and commercial information technology
grid.

USMC Common IT Services
• Objective: Design and implement an agile, responsive
set of common IT services within enterprise governance
structure and supported by policy.
• Enable:
– Effective management of infrastructure (centralized
view of the Enterprise)
• IT & Data/App/Web Hosting centers
– Robust, secure IT services
– Rapid deployment of portal and other information
presentation mechanisms while maintaining
data/information ownership.

MAJOR COMPONENTS
• Definition of IT Service
groupings encapsulates
operational capabilities.
• Common Infrastructure
components required for
operational capabilities can
be delineated.
Gives a layered view of the operational, system, and technical architecture components, and a
clearer understanding of infrastructure requirements
