U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATIONSELECTRONICS COMMAND (CECOM) The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) provides the critical link to enable our armed forces’ ability to achieve dominance on the battlefield by contributing to a globally networked, agile, and responsive force. CECOM sustains command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) readiness while enabling a network that connects and synchronizes the armed forces at all echelons to ensure a more capable, better trained, and dominant joint force for the United States and allies. Comprised of approximately 9,000 personnel, CECOM’s mission is to develop, provide, integrate, and sustain the logistics and readiness of C4ISR systems and mission command capabilities for the joint, interagency, and multinational forces worldwide. CECOM applies four core competencies to its functions as it conducts its mission and strives to achieve the vision of being the life cycle provider of Choice in the C4ISR community. As an Army Materiel Command (AMC) major subordinate command, CECOM was first established as the U.S. Army Electronics Command on Aug. 21, 1963, then designated the Communications-Electronics Command in 1981, and was redesignated as the CECOM LCMC in 2005. As a Life Cycle Management Command, CECOM is the Army’s critical link for life cycle support of the communications-electronics systems and equipment used by the Joint Forces. CECOM executes a sustainment and logistics integration mission across a very broad and complex set of C4ISR systems and capabilities. Collectively responsible for the life cycle of C4ISR systems, AMC, and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology work together to comprise the C4ISR Center of Excellence at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
