Program Narratives

MissionMinimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN)

Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN) provides the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Engineer with a variety of services. MEECN equips the NC3 Engineer with planning, systems analysis, operational assessments, systems engineering, and architectural and concept development. Through the National Military Command System, the NC3 System provides connectivity between the President and the Secretary of Defense to critical nuclear execution forces (spanning both “homeland-to-homeland” and theater nuclear war). MEECN includes the Emergency Action Message dissemination systems and the systems used for integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment, presidential decision-making conferencing, force report back, re-targeting, force management, and requests for permission nuclear weapons use. These efforts assure positive control of nuclear forces and connectivity between the Secretary of Defense and military forces. They also help allow the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Combatant Commands to communicate and make more informed decisions. MEECN ensures U.S. national leadership has proper command and control of military forces during national security emergencies, including the possibility of nuclear war.
