CQ is conducted at Fort Gordon, GA and is focused on Brigade and above echelons. The experiment will drive requirements definition, inform rapid acquisition initiatives, and support acquisition risk reduction activities. The event brings Soldiers from Army Cyber Command, Forces Command and Army Futures Command to evaluate emerging Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Intelligence and Signal solutions/technologies against MDO aligned critical capability gaps. The outcome will inform capability development requirements for MDO 2028, Organizational and Operational Concepts, and Cross Functional Team priorities. CBL will partner with the Intelligence and Mission Command Battle Labs during CQ23 to support the experimentation of MDO concepts from the disadvantaged tactical user to echelons above brigade.
