Joint Force Requirements Generator II (JFRG II) is a Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD) editing application designed to satisfy deployment planning and execution requirements at both home stations and remote command centers. JFRG II can:

• Import and export Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) executable TPFDDs, enabling the uploading and refinement of existing JOPES plans, or the creation and download of new TPFDDs
• Modify and update reference data
• Generate a data trouble report
• Maintain interfaces with JOPES and TC-AIMS II

JFRG II Specific Capabilities

• Selects forces by Unit Type Code (UTC) and Unit Identification Code (UIC) using a catalog structure
• Identifies accurate unit data down to the unit personnel and level 4 cargo detail, by billet description and table of organization, and by table of equipment detail by individual item ID
• Creates Unit Line Numbers (ULNs)
• Modifies selected force requirements by ULN, personnel and cargo to level 4 detail, movement data, routing data, and modes and sources of transportation
• Assigns UICs and unit names to reflect task organization and sourcing of requirements
• Relays force requirements to other systems (Transportation Coordinators' Automated Information for Movement System II, JOPES, and Marine Air Ground Task Force Deployment Support System)
• Imports data for review from above systems
• Identifies and transmits shortfalls to sourcing organizations
• Creates automatic fragment or split shipments
• Fragments a unit into multiple detachments split by percent cargo and percent personnel in minutes, or determines split by actual equipment ID
• Creates force modules in minutes using selection criteria and regeneration, then groups actual forces by "selecting and assigning"
• Re-numbers and combines ULNs
• Views detail down to level 6
• Provides online documentation and help
• Selects ULNs by data field or force module
• Modifies ULN data by ranges and groups using the "range update feature" and saves range update templates for later use
• Creates and saves modifications to standard UTCs for local, unique use
• Performs Transportation Component Command pre-edit and logical error checks and reports to identify fatal errors and warnings in accordance with JOPES Volume II
• Generates standard JOPES reports
• Generates standard JOPES reports by force modules
• Generates fixed reports by force modules
• Designs, generates, and saves customized reports
• Directs generated reports to video screen, printer or file

JFRG II Features

• Design simplicity
• Database methodologies
• Supports TPFDD requirements associated with deliberate, crisis action, and exercise planning during deployment and redeployment phases
• Familiar Windows-based TPFDD editing screens and standard JOPES terminology and procedures

JFRG II Benefits

• Accelerates the development, sourcing, analysis, and refinement of plans, resulting in the rapid creation of executable JOPES TPFDDs
• Decreases response time
• Provides the planner with extensive reference files and code tables
• Assists planners during analysis and refinement phase of TPFDD development
• Reduces training time through use of familiar interfaces
