The French brigade-sized headquarters was networked together with U.S., U.K. Canadian and German mission commands that established a common operating picture for all nations involved in the exercise.

Next year’s Project Convergence, an experimentation exercise first established by the U.S. Army in 2020, will be focused on how the joint force would fight with multinational partners by connecting to a common mission environment, according to Army leaders developing the event set for the second half of 2022.

The Mission Partner Environment, or MPE, is a platform that will enable information sharing between the U.S. military and its allies. The MPE has been in development for several years, and the U.S. and its international partners have been working to refine the capability at exercises like the U.S. Army’s annual Joint Warfighting Assessment, or JWA.
