The DCAPES software suite resides in which system?

• A. Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD)
• B. Global Command and Control Systems (GCCS)
• C. Deliberate Crisis Action Planning & Execution Segments (DCAPES)
• D. DoD Unified Command Plan (DUCP)

Answer: (B)

The DCAPES software suite runs within the Global Command and Control System. GCCS provides the joint command-and-control environment that lets planners access, share, and visualize deployment data across services, and DCAPES plugs into this environment to create and manage time-phased deployment plans using data like TPFDD. The other options describe a data format (the deployment data structure), the DCAPES tool itself, or policy, none of which are the hosting platform for the DCAPES suite. So GCCS is the system that hosts the DCAPES software.
