SYNCHRONIZATION IS KEY
ALL-HANDS MEETING
Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division support a Secure Wi-Fi risk reduction event in August 2016. Using the Secure Wi-Fi capability instead of cabling reduces the time it takes to set up and tear down a command post from hours to minutes, increasing maneuverability and operational flexibility.

technical insertion fielding and training efforts, shipping, unit hand receipts, unit deployments and other efforts. Schedules change frequently, and one change can cascade into several more.
For this reason, the PM holds both monthly integrated process team meetings and biweekly scheduling meetings, and it part- ners with Department of the Army G-3/5/7 and PEO C3T for the weekly mission command synchronization meetings. Tese meetings ensure that staffs and teams are synchronized to meet priorities on the Mission Command Modernization Priority List or are adapting to approved changes based on PM Tactical Network’s production allocations.
Fieldings are planned for and synchronized months, sometimes years, in advance, again to avoid disrupting the unit’s compet- ing operations or requirements. As such, a fielding will include multiple in-person meetings or teleconferences between units,

their higher commands and the program managers, and that contact will increase in frequency as the established date draws near, Bramlett said.
“Tis allows all involved parties to repeatedly assess and respond accordingly to any issues or changes to the fielding timeline, be they unit-driven, a sourcing issue or a change in fielding priori- ties,” Bramlett said.
As the fielding date or period gets closer, unit commanders and their staff members take part in meetings and briefings so that by the actual start, all are well-versed in what they are receiving, and how and why. For prolonged fieldings, progress meetings are conducted between the unit and program managers to ensure continuity of efforts. At the end of the fielding, the unit partic- ipates in an after-action review with the PM to go over any lingering questions, issues or challenges that may have surfaced
