MISSION COMMAND TRAINING PROGRAM (MCTP)
U.S. Army
The Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) was established in 1987 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to enhance command and staff team performance across the U.S. Army. Originally known as the Battle Command Training Program (BCTP), it was designed to provide realistic simulation-driven exercises for Corps, Division, and Brigade Headquarters. In 2011, it was renamed MCTP to align with the Army's focus on mission command doctrine, emphasizing decentralized decision-making and leadership. Over the years, MCTP has played a critical role in preparing Army leaders and staffs for complex operations worldwide, supporting both conventional and multi-domain operations.
