CP CE
The Command Post Computing Environment (CP CE), under the direction of Product Manager Tactical
A

Mission Command (TMC), provides a common framework (Common Infrastructure/ Common Services)
upon which future Warfighter capabilities can be built. CP CE is one of six computing environments under
the Common Operating Environment (COE). CP CE provides command and control (C2) and situational
awareness (SA) capabilities development at echelons that span from Army service component commands
(ASCCs) to company level. CP CE will be the most critical computing environment developed to support
command posts in combat operations.
