This system supports Digitized Battle Command and Staff training for brigade and below. The implementation of FBCB2 into the CCTT utilizes the real tactical FBCB2 hardware and software. During this period, troops conducted several defend, movement to contact, deliberate attack missions on the simulated NTC terrain where they were able to exchange map overlays, fragmentary orders and spot reports over the FBCB2 systems and obtain Situational Awareness information. As a culmination to this effort, another evaluation was conducted and successfully completed in September 1999. Troops feedback was overwhelmingly supportive of the added FBCB2 capabilities and of the entire CCTT system in support of their training objectives.
Future funding is uncertain.

Army has come up with a Pure Fleet Fielding Plan for Digitization. Based on this plan, the Army will have either Embedded or Applique upgrades to the Fleet. Units at Ft.
