The MEFPAK operates within which software suite?

• A. Deliberate Crisis Action Planning & Execution Segments (DCAPES)
• B. Global Command and Control Systems (GCCS)
• C. Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD)
• D. Manpower and Equipment Force Package (MEFPAK)

Answer: (A)

MEFPAK provides the standardized manpower and equipment data that planners use to build force packages for deployment, and this data is used inside the Deliberate Crisis Action Planning & Execution Segments, DCAPES, to plan and execute deployments. GCCS is a broader command-and-control system, not the software housing MEFPAK data. Time-Phased Force Deployment Data is the type of data produced and managed for deployments, not the software suite itself. MEFPAK is the data set, not a software package. So the MEFPAK operates within DCAPES.
