Mission Command Systems Overview
United States Army Combined Arms Center
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Action: Identify the Capabilities and interoperability of the Army Mission Command Systems.
Condition: Given a classroom environment with operational Mission Command (MC) Systems, working AMCS network, connected to appropriate Servers and Databases.
Standard: A. Identify the Capabilities, Mission, and Interoperability of
the Army Mission Command Systems. B. Define GCCS-A, TBC Co-host, BCS, AMDWS, TAIS,
AFATDS, DSGS-A, BCS3, and FBCB2. C. Define Mission Command System Components to
understand the role of the TMC host and there contribution to the COP.

Mission Command Systems
“In 2010, the battlefield will be fully ‘digitized’......The
leaders of 2010 must and will be masters of information
technology.”
- GEN Gordon Sullivan(Retired)

How do Army Mission Command Systems help the Commander?
United States Army Combined Arms Center
Answer: By providing a Common Operational Picture (COP)
The Mission Command Systems provide a familiar look, touch, sound, and feel to the commander, no matter where the commander is deployed. Information presentation from Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence system interfaces (C4I) are maintained consistently from platform to platform, enabling the commander to focus attention on the mission at hand as well as future operations and planning.

Definition of Mission Command Systems
- Mission Command Systems support the mission by integrating the automation and communications systems that link strategic and tactical headquarters.
- Mission Command Systems are interoperable with joint and multinational C2 systems at upper echelons (Division and above), and it is vertically and horizontally integrated at the tactical and operational levels.

Global Command and Control system- Army (GCCS-A)
Provides Army components with automated decision support tools for the planning and executing of military operations that require mobilization, deployment, employment, sustainment, reconstitution, redeployment, and demobilization of U.S. forces that support conventional joint military operations:
Strategic - GCCS-Joint: Combination of joint policies,
procedures, personnel, training and a reporting structure supported by
automated data processing on GCCS.
Operational/Tactical - GCCS-Army: Provides a seamless link of information and data from the strategic Global Command and Control System- Joint to the Army corps elements and below.
