At U.S. Army Program Executive Office Enterprise, which is now over two years into its Agile transformation, several enterprise software programs are already in the execution phase of the DOD’s Software Acquisition Pathway, which is designed to facilitate rapid and iterative delivery of software capability to users.

With nearly a quarter of a century of service to the U.S. Army, the Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) product office — part of Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) — is considered an old-timer in the acquisition world. Around five years ago, following deep-dive discussions among Army senior leaders, the decision was made to retire the program.
