Project Manager Mission Command (PM MC) is a component of the Program Executive Office Command, Control, and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) within the United States Army. PM MC is responsible for the development, deployment, and maintenance of integrated Mission Command software capabilities for the Army and Joint forces. The project manager ensures efficient fielding, effective training, and professional support for tactical and other unit types. PM MC’s product lines cover the areas of maneuver, fires, sustainment, and infrastructure.

According to PEO C3T, PM MC’s mission statement is to provide intuitive, adaptive mission command and situational awareness capabilities for command posts and platforms. These capabilities enable more effective, agile, and decisive mission execution by commanders and leaders at all levels.[2]

In May 2014, Project Manager Mission Command merged with Project Manager Joint Battle Command-Platform (PM JBC-P) under Mission Command. PdM JBC-P transitioned into a subordinate product of PM MC.

Col. Michael Thurston, the former project manager for PM JBC-P, assumed command of PM MC. The combined organization will consolidate and simplify the many different digital systems that the military uses.[1]

Alternate definitions

[edit]

The Army’s framework for exercising mission command is the operations process-the major mission command activities performed during operations: planning, preparing, executing, and continuously assessing the operation.[9]

The concept of mission command is to help Army forces function effectively and accomplish missions. The Army’s primary mission is to organize, train, and equip forces to conduct prompt sustained land combat operations.[10]
