Army Battle Command System
IS is the advantage derived from the ability to collect, process, and disseminate an
uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary’s ability
to do the same. Information systems are the equipment and facilities that collect,
process, store, display, and disseminate information. This includes computers—
hardware and software—and communications as well as policies and procedures for
their use (FM 3-0). The MEB is equipped with portions of the ABCS to help give it
significant advantages in collecting technical information, and distributing
information and intelligence rapidly. The ABCS enables commanders to rapidly gain
reliable information and therefore, achieve information dominance in their OE. The
ABCS satisfies two critical battle C2 requirements—interoperability and SA. ABCS
employs networks that are interoperable with theater, joint, and combined C2
systems.
MEB C2 SYSTEMS
C-1. The ABCS consists of 10 battlefield automated systems, which comprise the core for ABCS and
provide the capabilities that support the Military personnel’s mission needs. Each system aids in planning,
coordinating, and executing operations by providing access to a horizontally integrated C2 network and
passing of information it.
C-2. The ABCS 6.4 provides a net-centric data management capability on a dedicated server. This ABCS
version differs from earlier versions due to the incorporation of the centralized information server. The
addition of the ABCS information server (AIS) to the tactical operations center (TOC) structure enables
horizontal information exchange. Also, the AIS employs a publish and subscribe server methodology. The
AIS helps the ten ABCS systems interoperate as one thus, ABCS is called a system-of- systems
C-3. The MEB may use seven current primary C2 systems. These systems are linked to the global C2
system—Army (GCCS-A), creating seamless connectivity from brigades to corps. Five systems correspond
to five battlefield functional areas—maneuver, fire support, AMD, intelligence and electronic warfare
(IEW), and battle command sustainment support. The functional staff sections and units assigned to the
MEB will have a range of other automated systems; some will stand alone and other must be integrated
into the MEB C2 system.
C-4. Current C2 systems include—
z
Maneuver control system (MCS)-usually found in the S-3 section.
z
Advanced field artillery tactical data system (AFATDS)-usually found in the fires section.
z
Air and missile defense workstation (AMDWS)-usually found in the area denial artillery
munitions (ADAM) section.
z
Distribute Command Ground System —Army (DCGS-A)-usually found in the S-2 section.
z
Battle command sustainment support system (BCS3)-usually found in the S4 section.
z
Force XXI battle command brigade and below (FBCB2).
z
Command post of the future (CPOF).

Appendix C
MANEUVER CONTROL SYSTEM
C-5. The MCS provides tactical commanders and staffs with an automated, near real time capability for
planning, coordinating, monitoring, and controlling tactical operations. MCS operators can tailor the
applications to graphically display the picture of the AO they choose. A combination of systems
automatically feeds data to the MCS to produce the view of the AO. These ABCS sources can be local and
remote. The MCS is primarily used for creating and sending OPORDs in a CP. It also is equipped with
digital collaborative tools that commanders and staffs use to plan future operations and review past
operations.
C-6. MCS-light (MCS-L) is a laptop computer system that interfaces with the MCS workstation. MCS-L
is a lightweight, user friendly, inexpensive, and operationally flexible workstation that augments the large
desktop. MCS-L is used to enhance and shorten the decision-making process, enhance planning operations,
and supervise the execution of operations.
ADVANCED FIELD ARTILLERY TARGET DATA SYSTEM
C-7. The AFATDS provides the Army and United States Marine Corps (USMC) automated fire support
(FS) command, control, and communications portion of the ABCS. AFATDS provides integrated
automated support for planning, coordinating, and controlling all FS assets such as field artillery, mortars,
CAS, naval gunfire, attack helicopter, and offensive electronic warfare
(EW). It also provides for
counterfire, interdiction, and suppression of enemy targets. The AFATDS enables the maneuver
commander to plan and attack using the optimal weapon-target pairing combinations. AFATDS can
display FS systems, target types, command guidance, available munitions, and weapons status so that FS
planners can make informed decisions based on the commander’s guidance.
AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE WORKSTATION
C-8. The AMDWS is the C2 component of the AMD planning and control system (AMDPCS). It is the
staff planning and SA tool used to integrate sensors (for example, Sentinel radar), air defense fire units
(such as Avenger, Patriot), and CPs from the air defense artillery (ADA) battery to theater echelons. AMD
planners use AMDWS to display AMD plans, and air SA to ABCS and commanders at all echelons. It is
also the AMD planning and control link to joint/multinational C2 systems. It provides visibility of air
breather tracks (such as aircraft, UAS, cruise missiles), and tactical ballistic missiles (such as launch point,
impact point, and current location).
DISTRIBUTE COMMAND GROUND SYSTEM
C-9. The DCGS-A is the ABCS intelligence fusion system that provides a timely, accurate, and relevant
picture of the enemy situation to Military personnel. DCGS-A provides graphic representations of the
enemy situation to ABCS. It provides leaders all source intelligence to support visualization of the AO, and
more effectively conduct the land battle. The system capabilities enable the Soldier to collaborate with
other systems, process and analyze all source intelligence, support nonstructured threat analysis, provide
predictive analysis, produce a correlated ground picture, disseminate intelligence products, and provide
target nominations. It also supports management of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance assets,
intelligence collection, provision of combat intelligence/OPSEC mission support, provision of EW support,
and protection. The DCGS-A interoperates with organic IEW sensors; ABCS; joint, theater, and national
sensors and preprocessors; as well as other service intelligence processors.
C-10. DCGS-A provides intelligence processing on a laptop computer. DCGS-A users (for example, S-2s)
are primarily users of preprocessed intelligence information and graphic IPB products received from MI
units.
BRIGADE COMMAND SUSTAINMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM
C-11. The brigade command sustainment support system (BCS3) is the Army’s maneuver sustainment C2
system that provides a concise picture of unit logistics requirements and support capabilities. It provides a
C-2
FM 3-90.31
26 February 2009
Army Battle Command System
running estimate of evolving logistics situations, including an assessment of current combat power that is
essential for Military personnel to assess their units’ capabilities to complete their mission. The BCS3
integrates the logistics common picture as well as in-transit visibility, enabling the Military personnel to
view material in the logistics pipeline. Ultimately, BCS3 will be able to provide automated future combat
power assessments, (such as projecting changes in asset status in 24-, 48-, and 72-hour representations).
FORCE XXI BATTLE COMMAND BRIGADE AND BELOW
C-12. The FBCB2 is the mobile INFOSYS that provides a battle command capability for units operating at
the tactical level. FBCB2 integrates with the ABCS subsystems, and can transmit SA and provide C2
messaging. FBCB2 operates using two forms of communication. FBCB2-terrestial uses a radio-based
tactical mobile network and FBCB2 blue force tracker (BFT) uses satellite communications. FBCB2 is
found on platforms down to platoon level and on key leader platforms at battalion and brigade. Current
software enables terrestrial and BFT units to share SA. Future software will enable the exchange of some
C2 messaging between terrestrial and BFT units.
Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below-Terrestial
C-13. FBCB2-terrestrial is part of the lower TI. It uses the EPLRS, and the single channel ground and air
radio system-advanced system improvement program (SINCGARS-ASIP).
Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below-Blue Force Tracker
C-14. FBCB2-BFT uses a light band (L-band) satellite link for communications. FBCB2-BFT shares SA
(such as blue position reports and geospatial reports) with terrestrial units and ABCS systems that use
reach back tunnels found in regional operation centers. Both secure and unsecure system messaging is
available using ABCS.
SUPPORTING C2 SYSTEMS
DIGITAL TOPOGRAPHIC SUPPORT SYSTEM
C-15. The digital topographic support system (DTSS) provides automated support for terrain mapping and
analysis, and creation of topographic products within the timeframes required by today’s Army. DTSS
provides S-3 engineer sections with the capability for geospatial data generation, collection, and
management; geospatial information processing, presentation, and analysis; and engineer survey and map
reproductions for C2 terrain visualization. DTSS manages the digital topographic database for ABCS. It
can also create annotated image maps from scanned or digital imagery.
INTEGRATED METEOROLOGICAL SYSTEM
C-16. The integrated meteorological system (IMETS) is a tactical, automated weather data receiving,
processing, and dissemination system. It provides timely weather and environmental effects, forecasts,
observations, and decision aid information to commanders through ABCS. Selected S-2 sections are
fielded with IMETS to provide near real time weather data to conduct IPB. Additionally, IMETS provides
information to all ABCS battlefield functional areas.
TACTICAL AIRSPACE INTEGRATION SYSTEM
C-17. The tactical airspace integration system (TAIS) provides a digitized, integrated, and automated
system to provide AC2 and air traffic services. TAIS provides the ADAM section with a link to the Joint
force air component commander’s theater battle management core systems (TBMCS) for total Army
airspace integration into the joint fight. TAIS interfaces with joint TBMCS and civil airspace control
agencies, and provides input to ABCS.

Appendix C
GLOBAL COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM-ARMY
C-18. The GCCS-A is the interface between the tactical ABCS systems found at brigade and higher levels.
The system architecture links users via the SECRET Internet protocol router network (SIPRNET) for
worldwide communication. GCCS-A provides COP and associated friendly and enemy status information.
It also provides force employment planning and execution tools such as, receipt of forces, intratheater
planning, readiness, force tracking, onward movement, and execution status. GCCS-A is not usually
fielded to the MEB, but could be found there in contingency operations.
COMMAND AND CONTROL PERSONAL COMPUTER
C-19. The command and control personal computer (C2PC) enables staff sections to interface with
GCCS-A using a LAN within the CP. It depicts current locations of friendly and enemy units; creates,
imports, and exports maps overlays; and shares overlays and message traffic. C2PC is not a formal part of
ABCS, but is used in some units.
COMMAND POST OF THE FUTURE
C-20. The command post of the future (CPOF) is a decision support system, providing situational
awareness and collaborative tools for tactical decisionmaking, planning, rehearsal and execution
management from battalion through Army service component at the command level. The commander can
use CPOF to collaborate with other commanders and key staff to share critical situational awareness
information and plan accordingly. CPOF currently relies on several ABCS systems for information feeds
and co-hosts MCS on CPOF hardware.
CBRN AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
C-21. The joint CBRN networked applications provide situational awareness and contribute to the COP for
incidents involving the intentional or accidental release of CBRN hazards.
C-22. The JWARN provides the MEB and joint forces with a common capability to collect, analyze,
identify, locate, report and disseminate warnings about CBRNE or toxic industrial chemicals/toxic
industrial materials
(TIC/TIM) events. JWARN is employed by CBRN defense specialists and other
designated personnel in C2 centers at the appropriate levels of the MEB. JWARN draws data automatically
from actual detectors and sensors, and provides commanders with analyzed data to support operational
decisionmaking in a CBRN environment. JWARN adds capabilities for data processing, production of
plans and reports, and access to specific CBRNE information in order to augment the MEB’s CBRN
personnel and assets.
C-23. The joint effects model provides a single, validated capability to predict and track CBRNE and
TIC/TIM events and effects. The joint effects model resides in MEB C2 information systems and interfaces
with warning systems, and geospatial information and weather data and messages. It supports deliberate
planning and analysis for operational use. The joint effects model interfaces with JWARN to support
plotting and analysis of CBRNE and TIC/TIM events and effects.
C-24. Joint operational effects federation (JOEF) is a joint planning capability that provides operational
modeling and simulation for commanders and staffs to accurately predict chemical/biological effects upon
personnel, equipment and operations. JOEF determines operational effectiveness and supports
development of CBRN operational requirements. JOEF also supports TTP doctrine and contingency
operations development and planning; new technology and concept evaluation; specific training; and near
real-time decisionmaking as a Battle Management Information System in a combat environment. JOEF
interfaces with JWARN to support the analysis of and response to CBRNE and TIC/TIM events and
effects.
