What Prompted the Army to Scale NGC2? The Army has conducted operational training events, including Ivy Sting , Ivy Mass and Lightning Surge. At PC-C6, the Army validated NGC2 at the division level under harsh desert conditions and against a dedicated opposing force. Officials said the exercise marked the completion of the prototype phase and the beginning of rapid, continuous delivery of the capability to Army formations, with I Corps headquarters scheduled to receive NGC2 later this year. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll , a Wash100 Award winner, said rapid decision-making will be critical in future conflicts.
