 What is CPCE?
• CP CE delivers command post capabilities, aligns with COE, Common Operational & Intel Picture
using existing PoRs
• Focus on key operational & cross-cutting capabilities
− Expanded user access for COP/CIP and increased
interoperability (widgets)
− Common server for reduced footprint, training, logistics
(TSI)
− Common mapping for sources, currency, accuracy and
scales (SSGF) Widgets
− Common and integrated chat/IM Improved Collaboration

− Unified look and feel/Intuitive user interface (reduced

training requirements, improved interoperability)
• Supporting NIE 16.2 in May 2016
• Integration work is led PM DCGS-A and PM Mission Common Server

 We Still Have Work To Do
• Reduce system complexity
o Reduced startup and shutdown times
o Intuitive user interfaces, tactical apps
Agile command posts to enable expeditionary operations
o training encourages engagement
• Reduce Network complexity
o Improve interoperability of coalition and Joint networks
Focus on: Sustainment Training
o Execution of Home Station Mission Command
Training efforts
Unit leadership emphasis is critical; key leader
o
o Unit-developed “sustainment training” keeps skills
sharp during turnover
o Execution of “Digital Master Gunner” training efforts
o Crew drills promote holistic understanding of
Capability Set systems

o Streamline Unit Task Reorganization and network initialization

• Enhance synchronization of Field Service Support

o Simplifying communications systems will empower units and decrease reliance on FSRs
o Army collecting trouble ticket data to continuously right-size support
o Increasing FSR/DSE system-of-systems knowledge
