As the weather clears at the Nevada Test and Training Range, Soldiers, government personnel, and contractor partners begin to bring the Future Combat Systems (FCS) equipment and network online. The team works quickly getting the unattended ground sensors, mobile ad hoc network, and vehicles ready to execute the experimentation mission plan. Connections from the FCS Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to the Combined Forces Land Component Command (CFLCC), the U.S. Navy (USN) Maritime Operations Center, and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Combined Air and Space Operations Center must be ready to pass situational awareness (SA), Joint fires requests, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) information. This is just another typical day for the FCS Experimentation Team during a phase of the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) 2008.

The U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems program aimed to field an ambitious system of systems, with novel technologies integrated via an advanced wireless network. The largest and most ambitious planned acquisition program in the Army's history, it was cancelled in 2009, and some of its efforts transitioned to follow-on programs. This report documents the program's complex history and draws lessons from its experiences.

The engineer support doctrine for the brigade combat team (BCT) is focused on tactical-level maneuvers. The engineer organizations organic to the BCT are optimized to perform combat engineering (primarily mobility with limited capabilities in countermobility and survivability) tasks with geospatial engineering support provided by the organic terrain teams. Additional engineering support (combat and general) comes from modular engineer organizations that are task-organized to the BCT or providing support from echelons above brigade (EAB) organizations. This manual is aligned with current BCT doctrine (see Field Manual [FM] 3-90.6) and describes engineer support for the heavy brigade combat team (HBCT), infantry brigade combat team (IBCT), and Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT). Although the armored cavalry regiment (ACR) and itsengineer company is not specifically addressed, the basic principles of this manual also apply to those organizations.

Future Combat Systems (FCS) modeling and simulation (M & S) is driven by both the program requirements (the "what") and the user's needs (the "how much"). M & S is a key program enabler for all aspects of the program.

The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
