A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT
A Soldier displays multiple warfighting function Web applications and reviews icons for friendly and enemy locations within the CP CE at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, in March 2014. The CP CE is the foundation for mission command on the Web, unifying the CP with common views, shared data, shared maps and common services. (U.S. Army photo)
battalion and below. By keeping complex infrastructures at higher echelons, the CP becomes more agile for the units that need it most. Simplified infrastructure means that users will no longer have to start up multiple operating environments for multiple systems; they will just go to one, common environment. Furthermore, with the decrease in system complexity, Soldiers will train on one desktop, one time, across the entire Army. CP CE is a phased effort; v1 is currently in approval for fielding, and the final version is sched- uled for release in FY19.
Also in the realm of mission command, the Army has introduced the Installation as a Docking Station (IADS) concept to support the expeditionary nature of rapid response forces. Soldiers at several U.S. Army installations now have daily access to the tactical mission command systems they will use when deployed, preparing them to carry out missions in the areas of maneuver, fires and logistics. Te 82nd Airborne’s use of IADS is working to establish one user identity, thus enabling the Soldier to access data throughout rapid sequences of joint forced-entry and airborne operations. Once in theater, the pre-trained troops assemble the systems
and migrate the servers forward, alle- viating a lag from the time the airplane departs and arrives at its destination.
CONCLUSION From home station, to a plane or boat en route, to an urban back alley or desert terrain, the CP concept must be adapt- able to unique and varied mission sets and operational environments. Reinvent- ing the CP as a whole instead of the sum of its parts is key to increasing the expedi- tionary nature of forces so they can better support multiple, complex contingences of the future.
