USMC’s COC is a deployable, self-contained, centralised unit that offers shared command and control (C2), and situational awareness functionalities in a collaborative environment.

The facility has been designed to improve the tactical common operational capability for all levels of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).

It also provides support to the MAGTF throughout the complete range of military operations, while facilitating critical warfighting functions such as C2, intelligence, manoeuvre, fires, force protection, and logistics.

The USMC COCs have been deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and various other operational exercises and missions worldwide.

SAIC also received a task order to deliver comprehensive cyber support and protection services to the USMC Forces Cyberspace Command (MARFORCYBER) in May.
