static tactical operations center (TOC) to the commander on-the-move to the dismounted Soldier.
The CS 13 network, on which 10th Mountain Division Soldiers will begin training this month, will give U.S. forces - ies by enhancing situational awareness, improving maneuverability, speeding decision cycles, and connecting Soldiers at the lowest level with one another and their higher headquarters. It is anchored by two major upgrades: mis- sion command on the move—allowing commanders to take the network with them in their vehicles—and bringing dismounted Soldiers into the network, empowering ground troops with a new level of real-time information.
CS 13 addresses 11 validated Opera- tional Needs Statements submitted by theater combatant commanders. It will during the next year.
The CS was validated by the 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division (2/1 AD), the unit that executes the NIEs. Stretched across more than 150 miles of punishing ter- rain, the 3,800-Soldier brigade fought a rigorous, intelligence-driven opera- tional scenario against a battalion-size opposing force. Facing a hybrid threat
Number of responses received for the three NIEs that we have solicited for so far:
0100 12.1
54 government 43 industry
54 government 12.2 52 industry
47 government 13.1 100 industry
composed of conventional forces, insurgents, criminals, and electronic warfare, 2/1 AD executed combined arms maneuver, counterinsurgency, and stability operations.
NIE 12.2 was the largest NIE to date and CS 13 network architecture conducted in a hybrid threat environment. NIE 12.2 also accomplished three program tests for record and evaluated 35 gov- ernment and industry Systems Under Evaluation (SUEs).
NIE 12.2 completed the Initial Opera- tional Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2, a major upgrade to the network backbone that enables mission command on the move and extends satellite communications to
the company level. (See related article, Page - tion across the BCT, with more than 350 vehicles integrated with CS 13 baseline systems, including Infantry BCT, Stryker BCT, and Armored BCT platforms.
The integrated CS 13 package of radios, satellite systems, software applications, smartphone-like Nett Warrior devices, and other network components sup- ported 2/1 AD as the unit spread across the desert and mountains to complete its - tional country of Attica, confronting an incursion by the army of a neighboring country and an insurgency. The network allowed the brigade to pass information rapidly within and across echelons.

BOTTOM LINE: WE EXPECT NIE 13.1 TO ANSWER KEY QUES- TIONS
AND SERVE AS A PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL
TRYOUT FOR CS 14, YIELDING SOLDIER FEEDBACK AND TEST DATA THAT THE ARMY CAN ACT ON BEFORE FINAL CS 14 VALIDATION AT NIE 13.2 NEXT SPRING.
