Onebrief Compresses Army Planning Timelines from Hours to Minutes as Next Generation Command and Control Scales to a Full Division
Onebrief, the military workflow and collaboration platform for modern command, has served as the planning layer within the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) environment as the 4th Infantry Division scales the prototype from battalion to division.
NGC2 is the Army’s initiative to replace fragmented legacy command-and-control systems with a unified, data-centric, cloud-enabled architecture built for multi-domain operations. Onebrief operates as the planning layer across that environment, integrating with partner systems from Anduril, Palantir, Striveworks, Govini, Instant Connect Enterprise, Rune, Research Innovations, Inc. (RII), and Microsoft rather than replacing them. It connects intelligence, fires, maneuver, sustainment, protection, and mission command in a single planning environment, then ensures plans flow into execution systems rather than stalling across disconnected tools.
During the division’s IVY STING experimentation series, planners using Onebrief compressed complex operational planning cycles from hours to as few as 30 minutes, even in displaced, low-bandwidth command posts. The prototype has since advanced through IVY MASS, the division-wide exercise, and is building toward Project Convergence Capstone 6 this summer.
