requests underwent an assessment to determine the technical level of effort, traceability to requirements and the resources available for execution. The assessment identified a total of 10 categories or areas of improvement and determined it will take approximately eight weeks for software improvements, followed by a 30-day work period to undergo and series of test-fixtest and risk reduction events to determine whether those improvements are ready for operational use. During WfX 21.4 these improvements
were put through the paces. XVIII Airborne Corps users executed their mission and provided additional feedback for future enhancements. Initial feedback indicates CPCE meets all minimum requirements, allowing the Army to focus on improving the user experience for future versions.
PUTTING SOFTWARE TO REAL-WORLD TEST Following WfX 21.4, Soldiers with the 4th Infantry Division (4ID) at Fort Carson,
CO, and I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, Washington, will utilize CPCE as part of JWA 21 in June, during which a formal Operational Assessment will be conducted using the current Increment 1, or Inc. 1, CPCE software baseline. During the lead up to the exercise, PdM TMC executed a “crawl, walk, run” phased approach with the units to allow users to gain maximum proficiency and provide feedback on the currently fielded CPCE baseline prior to executing the multinational JWA event.
