Core Business Mission (CBM) |
In BEA10.0 the DoD Core Business Missions are a defined area of responsibility with functions and processes that provide
end-to-end support to the warfighter and articulate business transformation requirements into the BEA from the Strategic Management Plan (SMP).
The SMP sets priorities and provides strategic direction for Departmental business operations to enable business transformation within the DoD.
The five Core Business Missions are: Financial Management (FM), Human Resources Management (HRM), Material Supply and Service Management (MSSM)
Real Property and Installations Lifecycle Management (RPILM), Weapon System Lifecycle Management (WSLM).
The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) (OUSD(C)) plays a pivotal role in guarding and guiding the
proper stewardship of taxpayer dollars in support of the DoD mission and is a key participant in overall Defense business process management.
The Comptroller has three primary goals:
- Acquire the resources necessary to meet national defense objectives;
- Ensure the legal, effective, and efficient use of DoD resources;
- Champion a strong and capable FM workforce.
Human Resources Management encompasses all functional processes required to acquire, train, manage, pay and provide benefits
to the military and civilian personnel in the DoD (throughout their careers and beyond), as well as support family members, veterans, retirees,
volunteers and contractors. A primary objective of the HRM CBM portfolio is to provide accurate human resources information to decision makers
such as numbers, competencies (occupations, skills, education and training), reception accounting, individual readiness, patient accountability
and status reporting, individuals’ unit and location, and assigned duty within organizations. This mission includes ensuring that
Combatant Commanders have access to timely and accurate data on personnel that includes their skill sets and competencies.
The Materiel Supply and Service Management Core Business Mission covers DoD's supply chain, responsible for ensuring
enterprise business capabilities to maintain readiness for the warfighter and sustain the force at a level of performance that meets or exceeds
Combatant Commander's requirements. The key elements of MSSM include the planning, sourcing, procurement, contract management and oversight,
operational contract support (OCS), making and manufacturing, maintenance and repairing, performing logistics and field services, sustainment
operations, delivery of property and forces, retail sales, and the return or retrograde of all classes of supply (materiel),
and forces (deployments).
The Real Property and Installations Lifecycle Management (RPILM) core business mission (CBM) provides the warfighter
and other CBMs with access to secure, accurate and reliable information on real property assets and environment, safety and occupational
health sustainability.
The Weapon System Lifecycle Management (WSLM) Core Business Mission is responsible for the full lifecycle
management – “cradle-to-grave” – of Defense acquisition of weapon systems and automated information systems to include requirements,
technology, development, production, sustainment, and disposal. The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics)
(USD (AT&L)) is responsible for the WSLM business area and is the Certification Authority, pursuant to Title 10 U.S. Code §2222,
for all Defense business systems within this functional area.
