<p>or the U.S. military. Systems engineering  analyses were conducted for the GFS and the Joint Sea Base (JSB) based on  needs, stakeholders and functions. Qualitative evaluations based on these  inputs led to extensive descriptions of organizational characteristics, design  parameters and contingency factors for the GFS/JSB.  A GFS is a self-sustaining sea base conducting regional operations  through tailored and adaptive packages, including launching engagements with  partner nations within areas of interest. Based on these analyses, GFS  Commanders would perform primarily as crisis managers, overseeing the GFS  organization through partisan mutual adjustments made in response to  competing demands in the political environment. Configured as a responsive  professional bureaucracy, the GFS would be intended to incorporate the  standardization of specialized skills it collects, maintains and manages, typically  learned elsewhere, i.e., similar to hospitals and universities whose doctors and  professors respectively comprise the operating cores.  Sea Basing is the culmination of joint combat power from the sea,  encompassing select expeditionary joint forces with minimal if any reliance on  land bases within the Joint Operations Area. Based on these analyses,  uncertainty and unpredictability of circumstances abound in the JSB adaptive  administrative adhocracy where power shifts as teams of experts mutually adjust  to a complex and dynamic environment.
