PEO C3T PM FBCB2

The Project Manager Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (PM FBCB2) was established under the Army’s Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) to develop and field digital battle command and situational awareness systems for brigade-level and below units. Beginning in the late 1990s, PM FBCB2 oversaw the deployment of the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) system, which provided real-time blue force tracking and messaging capabilities, significantly enhancing command and control across the battlefield. The system was first operationally deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, where it played a pivotal role in improving situational awareness and reducing fratricide. Over time, FBCB2 evolved into the Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P), reflecting advances in technology and operational requirements, while PM FBCB2’s legacy continues within the broader mission of PEO C3T to modernize Army communications and battle management.
