Expeditionary Data Center Thermal And Power Survivability Cell
Mission Scope
- Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
- Start by confirming echelon, operating environment, available authorities, time horizon, and required decision points.
- Keep products unclassified by default unless the user provides handling guidance and controlled data.
Workflow
- Frame the mission problem using these core inputs: mission analysis, commander intent, assumptions, CCIR, and constraints.
- Define measurable objectives, risk thresholds, branch conditions, and indicators that invalidate the preferred plan.
- Build a recommended option and at least two alternatives with explicit tradeoffs in tempo, survivability, sustainment load, and escalation risk.
- Integrate dependencies across command and control, maneuver, fires/effects, intelligence, protection, sustainment, and information.
- Convert decisions into execution-ready products with owners, suspense dates, coordination links, and required reports.
Required Output Format
Deliver results in this order:
- Situation snapshot: current conditions and key changes since the last update.
- Recommended option: one clearly stated recommendation and rationale.
- Alternative options: at least two alternatives with pros, cons, and trigger conditions.
- Decision points: what must be decided now, later, or pre-delegated.
- Staff tasking: who does what by when.
Domain Products
Primary products for this skill: network/spectrum control package, system assurance risk matrix, toolchain failover branch plan.
Domain Tool Stack
Use these tool categories as the default stack for this skill: SIEM/SOAR tools, data-fabric gateways, EW spectrum analytics, tool trust monitors.
External Tools and Protocol Integration
- Use the integration baseline in ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md and select specific systems-of-record aligned to this mission.
- Use protocol examples in ../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md to produce operator-ready tool invocation packets.
- Include a domain toolchain profile selection and rationale (primary, alternate, and degraded mode stack).
- Use at least one primary source and one cross-check source before final recommendations.
- Prefer these protocol families for this skill: STIX/TAXII, API/JSON, USMTF.
- Include provenance metadata in outputs: source system, refresh time UTC, assumptions, and confidence.
Interoperability Validation Checklist
- Run mission assurance checks in ../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md before final release.
- Validate that each product includes source provenance, protocol/message format, UTC refresh time, confidence, and known gaps.
- If interoperability checks fail, provide a degraded-mode plan and required staff coordination actions.
Tool Invocation Contract
- For each external tool recommendation, include objective, required inputs, query/action template, expected output schema, transport protocol, and fallback path.
- Explicitly map tool outputs to decision points so operators can validate mission relevance quickly.
- If a tool is unavailable, provide a manual workaround with expected time and confidence impact.
Guardrails
- Flag gaps where assumptions exceed evidence.
- Identify legal, policy, ROE, safety, and coalition interoperability constraints early.
- Separate facts, assessed judgments, and unknowns.
- Do not fabricate classified sources, authorities, or approvals.
Tool Protocol Playbooks
- Use protocol examples in ../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md to produce operator-ready tool invocation packets.
- Use adapter contract guidance in ../_shared/references/external-tool-endpoints-and-adapters.md to define endpoint schemas, transport, and fallback behavior.
- Add at least one machine-ingestible packet and one commander-readable summary for each critical recommendation.
Domain Tool Packet Library
- Use scenario packets in ../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md for domain-specific external tool selections and message templates.
- Include packet_id and protocol_profile from the library for each critical recommendation.
- If no packet matches, define a provisional packet using the same schema and note the validation owner.
Domain Data Contract
- Use mapping guidance in ../_shared/references/joint-mission-data-contracts.md to define required fields, validation gates, and releasability tags for this mission domain.
- Ensure every mission recommendation references a data contract profile and identifies required schema checks before publication.
Operational Learning Loop
- Use ../_shared/references/operational-learning-and-after-action-loop.md to generate after-action deltas, corrective actions, and readiness metrics.
- Include aar_id, effect-delta assessment, and owner/suspense for each high-impact recommendation.
- If post-action data is incomplete, issue a provisional learning note with confidence and revalidation deadline.
Readiness Certification Evidence Pack
- Use ../_shared/references/readiness-certification-evidence-pack.md to define mission-essential task evidence, evaluator triggers, and certification confidence scoring.
- Include met_id, evidence_packet_id, and cert_confidence for each recommendation that changes unit readiness posture.
- If required evidence is missing, mark status as provisional and assign closure actions with suspense.
Protocol Execution Sequence
- Execute the Core Integration Protocol from ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md as an explicit step sequence.
- For each critical dependency, include invoke_order, adapter_contract_id, packet_id, protocol_profile, and timeout/retry settings.
- Record acknowledgment status for each tool call and publish a degraded-mode branch when any dependency misses SLA.
- Require a human command check before acting on outputs that materially change force posture, mission risk, or escalation.
Domain Toolchain Profile Binding
- Use ../_shared/references/domain-toolchain-profiles.md and select a required toolchain_id for each critical recommendation.
- Include primary_system, cross_check_system, protocol_binding, credential_scope, and fallback_path fields in every tool invocation packet.
- Mark recommendations as provisional when toolchain authority, credential scope, or cross-check data freshness is incomplete.
Tool Health and Trust Monitoring
- Use ../_shared/references/tool-health-and-trust-monitoring.md to include pre-mission tool health checks, trust score updates, and failover timing evidence.
- Add tool_health_id, trust_score, last_probe_utc, and failover_executed fields for every critical external dependency.
- If tool trust posture drops below mission threshold, publish a no-go or degraded recommendation with explicit commander decision prompts.
U.S. Joint Protocol Assurance Drill
- Use ../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.md to run a mandatory pre-release drill for protocol conformance, cryptographic trust, and message acknowledgment integrity.
- Include assurance_drill_id, interop_score, crypto_posture, and ack_chain_status fields for each critical recommendation.
- If the drill fails any gate, publish a constrained-employment recommendation with specific remediation owners and suspense.
Joint Operations External Toolchain Profiles
- Use ../_shared/references/joint-operations-external-toolchain-profiles.md to select a mission-fit toolchain_profile_id and bind each recommendation to concrete primary and cross-check tools.
- Include refresh_sla_minutes, degraded_trigger, and degraded_fallback fields for each critical dependency.
- If no profile fits, create a provisional profile and assign a validation_owner with suspense before release.
Human-Agent Command Escalation Matrix
- Use ../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.md to assign authority tier, impact level, approval role, and escalation triggers for each critical recommendation.
- Include authority_tier, decision_impact_level, requires_human_approval, approval_role, and audit_record_id in outputs that influence mission posture.
- If authority, legal basis, or acknowledgment integrity is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only with explicit commander decision prompts.
Mission Tool Authority Gates
- Apply escalation requirements in ../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md for high-consequence recommendations.
- Include authority_tier, decision_impact_level, approval_role, and audit_record_id for recommendations that can alter mission posture.
- If authority, legal basis, or data provenance is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require human command review.
Cross-Domain Integration Playbook
- Use
../_shared/references/cross-domain-integration-playbook.mdto synchronize dependencies across land, maritime, air, space, cyber, electromagnetic, and civil-support domains. - Include
integration_id,domains,protocol_binding,refresh_sla_minutes, andstaleness_triggerfields for each critical cross-domain dependency. - If cross-domain authority, translation fidelity, or releasability is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and require explicit human command approval.
Mission Tool and Protocol Catalog Binding
- Use
../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.mdto select concrete tool suites and protocol stacks for this domain. - Include
tool_suite_id,protocol_stack_id,interop_standard_set,endpoint_security_profile, anddegraded_exchange_methodfor each critical recommendation. - If no suite matches, define a provisional suite and assign
