The Commanding General leads the Maneuver
Support Center (MANSCEN) at Fort
Leonard Wood which creates Warriors and
develops Leaders and capabilities that assure the
mobility, freedom of action and protection of the
forces they support. The Commandants of the
United States Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological
and Nuclear School (USACBRNS);
United States Army Engineer School (USAES);
and the United States Army Military Police
School (USAMPS); are Deputies to the Commanding
General for the following areas, respectively:
Materiel and Technology; Concepts,
Doctrine, and Organizations; and Training and
Leader Development. The resident General
Officers for the United States Army Reserve
and National Guard also serve as Deputies to
the Commanding General. MANSCEN also
has a Senior Executive Service Deputy to the
Commanding General with oversight of the
Directorate of Training, Capabilities Development
and Integration Directorate and the
Program Management and Integration Directorate.
The Command Sergeant Major, senior
noncommissioned officer of MANSCEN, serves
as the senior enlisted advisor to the Commanding
General on policy matters pertaining to
MANSCEN enlisted soldiers, individual skills
and training. The Chief of Staff is the principal
coordinating agent for the MANSCEN regarding
day-to-day operations and relationships with
higher, adjacent, subordinate and supported
units, agencies and activities. The Secretary of
the General Staff (SGS) office advises
MANSCEN senior leaders and installation staff
on all matters relating to command policy,
administration and protocol. The SGS also provides
administrative, personnel and logistical
support to the MANSCEN Command Element;
coordinates and executes all dignitary visits to the
installation; provides coordination and support for
all protocol activities; and provides speech
writing services for the Command Element.
The Program Management and Integration
Directorate is the Maneuver Support Center of
Excellence's centralized manager responsible
for the integration and synchronization of
MANSCEN doctrine, organization, training,
material, leadership and education, personnel
and facilities (DOTMLPF) capability developments
among several entities. These are Capabilities
Development Integration Directorate
(CDID), MANSCEN Directorate of Training
(MDoT), Schools and Garrison Staff in order to
deliver maneuver support capability to the
Army. Inherent to this is to sustain a continuous
DOTMLPF capability gap analysis and solution
process based on priorities of the center, school
commandants and realities of war and other
deployed operations. The Directorate is divided
into three major sections, the TRADOC Capability
Manager-Maneuver Support (TCM-MS),
the MANSCEN Knowledge Management (KM) Office and the Joint, Interagency and Multinational
(JIM). TCM-MS executes the PMID
mission as the DOTMLPF program manager
and integrates all developmental programs associated
with functional and multi-functional
capabilities to assure the mobility, freedom of
action, and protection of Army units in full
spectrum operations. The Knowledge Management
Office provides state-of-the-art access to
knowledge building and sharing opportunities
for the MANSCEN workforce and customers.
They foster daily collaboration among stakeholders
combined with leveraged technology to
facilitate a learning-focused culture. The focus
of the JIIM section is the integration of planning
and staff coordination to ensure interagency,
intergovernmental and multinational aspects are
synchronized with MANSCEN capability
developments process.
