FIELDING MADE SIMPLER
PEO C3T process improvements get C4ISR and other capabilities to Soldiers more easily, efficiently
by Ms. Ariel Arrosa, Mr. Rick Stoverink and Mr. Bob Wines A
s units rotated into com- bat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, it quickly became clear that there needed to be a
repeatable, synchronized process to equip forces with new digital mission command and situational awareness equipment.
Fielding and resetting sophisticated command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities is a complex task. Communication systems, the network and all the support person- nel must work in unison, and training must take place in a logical order.
Tat wasn’t happening. Stand-alone sys- tems were fielded one at a time, each with its own training. Te result of that cum- bersome, stovepiped process was that the
digitized capabilities were fielded to just two to three brigades per year.
Te remedy was unit set fielding (USF), a process begun in 2006 by the Program Executive Office Command, Con- trol and Communications – Tactical (PEO C3T).
USF has vastly increased the rate at which capabilities are fielded to units and units are trained. It has been embraced by many Army organizations involved in fielding a wide array of capa- bilities, including HQDA G-3/6/8; the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Com- mand; U.S. Army Forces Command; National Guard Bureau; Office of the Chief of Army Reserve; and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisitions, Logistics and Technology.
USF effectively creates a one-stop shop for planning and implementing fielding and training, synchronizing and stream- lining the process. Tus USF relieves some of the burden Soldiers face as they receive new capabilities and train to use them. As the Army continues to move away from fielding stand-alone capabilities and as technology becomes more interdependent, USF provides a proven method for integrating the technologies that end up in the hands of Soldiers, in both new fieldings and reset. For a budget-constrained Army, USF demonstrates that process efficien- cies can have just as great an impact as procurement efficiencies.
With USF in place, the Army is now reg- ularly fielding more than 100 units a year with state-of-the-art C4ISR capabilities.
