Halliburton, with Dick Cheney as former CEO, had defense contracts totaling $427 million in 2001. By 2003, they had $4.3 billion in defense contracts, of which approximately a third were sole source agreements. At the beginning of 2006 the Global Dominance Group's agenda is well established within higher circle policy councils and cunningly operationalized inside the US Government. They work hand in hand with defense contractors promoting deployment of US forces in over 700 bases worldwide.

The demonstration consists of two scenarios— forced-entry operations and decisive land operations—with each scenario incorporating situational awareness threads integrated with related C2 monitoring systems. The forced entry operations scenario will include a use-case and thread for petroleum, oil, and lubricants; ammunition; distribution; and logistics situational awareness, while the decisive land operations scenario will focus on repair parts, maintenance, distribution, and logistics situational awareness. The ability to seamlessly communicate requests for service, feedback, and status information between GCSS-MC and the Army STAMIS/GCSS-Army system is a primary objective. A successful demonstration will provide a valuable assessment on the potential to eventually extend the same capability to Global Combat Support System-Joint.
