ZARQA, Jordan \u2013<\/strong> U.S. Army Central deployed its contingency command post Sept. 5-8 to Exercise Lucky Strike 23.2 at the Joint Training Center in Zarqa, Jordan.<\/p>\n

Consisting of approximately 100 service members and civilians from the USARCENT headquarters, the CCP is USARCENT\u2019s rapidly deployable command element designed to provide command and control at any forward location in the U.S. Central Command region.<\/p>\n

Exercise Lucky Strike 23.2 allowed the CCP the opportunity to develop standard operating procedures and interoperability before Exercise Internal Look, a CENTCOM coordinated command post exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contingency command post is something that the theater Army is able to use for short duration operations and can be used in a variety of ways,\u201d said Col. Jennifer Reed, the USARCENT G33 chief of operations. \u201cOne of the important things about bringing it into theater is that it puts us closer to both our partners and subordinate units.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an expeditionary headquarters, the CCP is designed to provide command and control operations, as well as military intelligence, logistics capabilities and other key functions. Lucky Strike presented a unique training opportunity to USARCENT as staff directorates tested capabilities in a partner nation.<\/p>\n

The deployment of the CCP to a partner nation required meticulous planning and coordination. Leading the way for the CCP was its Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, who provided life support and administrative services throughout the exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Warrior Battalion is here validating the readiness for the force package for the CCP, which is the expeditionary command and control capability for the USARCENT headquarters,\u201d said Lt. Col. Andrew Eagan, the USARCENT HHBN commander.<\/p>\n

Overall, the command was pleased with the deployment and performance of the CCP during the exercise. According to Reed, the CCP\u2019s deployment to Jordan was a necessary building block for future operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s always going to be important for the staff to work together and develop interoperability with each other, our partners and higher headquarters,\u201d said Reed. \u201cIt\u2019s never easy to go on any type of field exercise, whether it\u2019s at the platoon level or theater Army level. The staffs from USARCENT, the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade, HHBN<\/p>\n

and Area Support Group-Jordan has been immense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lucky Strike 23.2 was the second deployment for the USARCENT CCP in 2023. The CCP previously deployed to McCrady Training Center in August for Exercise Warrior Torch, in which personnel completed the tactical training and administrative tasks required to deploy overseas.<\/p>\n

U.S. Army Central is the U.S. Army Service Component Command for U.S. Central Command and is responsible to the Secretary of the Army for the support and administration of more than 12,000 Soldiers, including those assigned to joint task forces and embassies, across the 21 countries in the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
