Global Force Information Management

The Global Force Information Management (GFIM) transactional capability is a dynamic, integrated and interoperable transactional global force structure and employment data system for the force management community to plan, program, and produce authoritative force structure data. Put simply, GFIM allows senior leaders and combatant commanders to make data-driven force structure decisions faster and with confidence in order to man, equip, train, ready and resource the Army.
