HONOLULU: 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.

“The Army is building the future of command through repeated, real-world experimentation, and Onebrief has been there at every step,” said Onebrief CEO Grant Demaree. “Across the IVY STING series and into IVY MASS, our platform unified distributed teams, synchronized every warfighting function, and turned planning that once ran for hours into minutes, even in the most constrained environments.”

The clearest demonstration came inside a displaced, low-bandwidth command post housing the Future Operations team. There, teams replaced static briefings with interactive, shared planning sessions, working directly on shared live maps through Onebrief’s Broadcast and Whiteboard capabilities, including a digital laser pointer and two-way drawing to walk through schemes of maneuver together. One user described the shift: work that “used to take three hours now takes only 30 to 40 minutes.”

Onebrief maintained on-site engineering support throughout, refining capabilities in real time based on direct user input. Adoption spread organically as planners shared newly discovered workflows and pulled teammates into the platform.

Onebrief’s authorization to operate within NGC2 followed authenticated ACAS vulnerability scans and comprehensive static and dynamic application security testing, independently reviewed by the supporting Cybersecurity Service Provider and 4th ID mission assurance representatives before formal approval by the Information System Security Manager and the Authorizing Official. The platform is designed for expeditionary, distributed operations with degraded communications.

The IVY STING series will continue through 2026 as the 4th Infantry Division prepares the integrated NGC2 architecture for Project Convergence Capstone 6, the joint proving ground where the division plans to operate the prototype as its primary command-and-control system.
