*Combat Operations Centers (COCs) are mobile, modular command and control centers designed to support Marines wherever they are deployed. COCs will be the focal point of decision-making during all phases of ground warfare, allowing Marine forces to digitally collect, process, and disseminate tactical data.
COC systems are supporting Marine forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and supporting Marines pre-deployment training and testing in the United States.
