But that\u2019s really a brigade-centric process,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/03\/01\/new-boss-headed-to-us-army-networks-office\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maj. Gen. Anthony Potts<\/a>, the program executive officer for command, control and communications-tactical, or PEO C3T, told reporters May 4 at an event at Fort Myer, Virginia. \u201cSo, what we\u2019re going to move to is the \u2018division as a unit of action network design.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That overarching design will require months of deliberation and real-world experimentation to define. It will serve as an anchor, a foundation, to which upgraded materiel is rigged and then deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link smg-interstitial-link--fallback wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/02\/27\/at-army-experiment-experts-tinker-with-tanks-and-communications-kit\/s\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__fallback-link\">At Army experiment, experts tinker with tanks and communications kit<\/a><\/aside>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe realized it\u2019s not really about new, shiny objects anymore,\u201d Potts said of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/video\/2023\/04\/26\/the-latest-on-capability-sets-and-cutting-edge-communications\/\" target=\"_blank\">move away from capability sets<\/a>, batches of equipment, known as the integrated tactical network, tailored to infantry and armor alike. \u201cIt is now about how do you architect the network for the division as a unit of action. And we realized we had to think differently about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The capability set venture kicked off in fiscal 2021, with additional milestones in 2023, 2025, 2027 and beyond. The stepwise approach, featuring a mix of commercial, off-the-shelf tech and specialized military tools, was often likened to Apple\u2019s iPhone strategy: newer, better hardware and software rolled out on the heels of the latest release. Capability Set 25 would have been the first to inherently focus on the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new method should have kit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2023\/04\/07\/bandwidth-of-brothers-us-armys-101st-airborne-to-get-advanced-radios\/\" target=\"_blank\">in the hands of soldiers<\/a> as soon as 2024, with faster turnarounds and tighter groups of improvements promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rainey\u2019s guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motivating the pivot is guidance from Army Futures Command and its latest leader, Gen. James Rainey. Network modernization is one of six priorities for the service as it transitions to multi-domain operations and contends with communication environments compromised by advanced adversaries. Other urgent matters include improved air-and-missile defense and an overhaul of the aging aviation fleet, known as future vertical lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said we have to have assured voice communications between commanders, we have to have a common operating picture, focusing on the \u2018common,\u2019 and then we have to have digital fires,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/08\/16\/why-us-army-network-leaders-are-so-interested-in-identity-management\/\" target=\"_blank\">Maj. Gen. Jeth Rey<\/a>, the Network Cross-Functional Team director, said Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we pivoted to the division as the unit of action, the questions kept coming,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe all came to the conclusion that we needed a better \u2014 a different \u2014 approach in order to iterate on getting the equipment into the hands of soldiers a little faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Potts and Rey emphasized the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/08\/29\/first-arctic-unit-now-training-with-modernized-us-army-networking-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\">acquisition rigor of capability sets<\/a> will remain intact; while the moniker may have changed, the underlying goal has not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6016\" height=\"4016\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"A banner set up for a tech demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia, in May 2023 reads: &quot;Network and division as unit of action.&quot; Two Army generals are seen in the foreground.\" class=\"wp-image-112082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg 6016w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg?resize=768,513 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,684 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1025 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Network-Division-Action-Fort-Myer.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1367 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6016px) 100vw, 6016px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A banner set up for a tech demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia, in May 2023 reads: &#8220;Network and division as unit of action.&#8221; Two Army generals, Anthony Potts and Jeth Rey, are seen in the foreground.

We\u2019re still going to get people involved in these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PEO C3T and the Network Cross-Functional Team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/12\/06\/us-army-to-lay-out-communications-gear-needs-for-industry-at-tem9\/\" target=\"_blank\">meet with defense industry representatives<\/a> in Philadelphia this month. The changes will be discussed, according to Potts and Rey. Rainey is scheduled to speak at the get-together May 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Futures Command boss in February said the Army must focus on \u201ctransformation.\u201d In March, he said the service plans to spend roughly the next two years finalizing key decisions on what its future formational design will look like in the 2040s, Defense News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c2040 seems like a long way away,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/global-force-symposium\/2023\/04\/04\/the-us-army-moves-to-tweak-its-formations-for-future-conflicts\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rainey said at the time<\/a>, at a conference in Alabama, \u201cbut I believe we have about an 18- to 24-month window that we need to pursue with a sense of urgency to figure out what\u2019s going to be different, what\u2019s the operating environment going to look like. Not to get it right, but to make sure we don\u2019t get it really wrong and to be in a better position than whoever we\u2019re fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As
