Represent the user, in many cases, in the materiel acquisition process for key organizational sys- tems assigned to the respective TRADOC CoE, and work with other CoEs to coordinate capabili- ties for assigned organizations


Although much of the recent effort has been on creating TCM offices that focus on a specific organization, the need for some “functional” TCMs remains. Many capability solutions still transcend organizational boundaries. An example is the TCM for Tactical Radios; the scope of capabilities and responsibilities for this office includes all echelons of the force and is not specific to a unit type or organization.


Functional and organizational TCMs will coexist as the Army moves forward in developing capabilities. This new alignment will ensure better integration and synchronization of the Army’s


requirements, as well as a more efficient capability management process. TCMs will continue to collaborate with systems program and project managers to ensure that development, fielding, and sustainment are integrated across all aspects of DOTMLPF.
