Commanded by Brig. Gen. Troy M. Denomy, Portfolio Acquisition Executive Maneuver Ground (PAE Maneuver Ground), formally known as "Capability Program Executive Ground (CPE Ground)", delivers 186 programs of record and 253 products and non-programs of record, such as essential capabilities from body armor, helmets, sensors and lasers to legacy weapons systems. PAE Maneuver Ground has four Program Manager (PM) Offices and one Project Director. They are: PM Soldier Survivability, PM Maneuver Medical Systems, PM Mobile Brigade (MBDE), PM Soldier Lethality, PM Soldier Warrior, Assistant Capability Program Executive, PM Abrams, PM XM30, PM Mounted Armored Vehicles, and Advanced Targeting, Layered Survivability, and Stryker.
PAE Maneuver Ground represents a transformational shift in how the Army designs, delivers, and fields combat power. Established as part of the Army’s most significant acquisition reform in decades, PAE Maneuver Ground unifies the platforms Soldiers fight from with the systems they wear, carry, and employ, creating a single, integrated enterprise focused on the squad as the Army’s foundational combat system.
A New Model: The Squad as a System
PAE Maneuver Ground is built on a simple but transformative idea: combat effectiveness is no longer defined by individual systems, but by how those systems operate together as an integrated whole.
By bringing together the legacy strengths of PAE Maneuver Ground, eliminates the seams that once existed between mounted and dismounted formations. This integration enables the Army to design and deliver capabilities at the squad level, where decisive action occurs.
Through initiatives like the Adaptive Squad Architecture, PAE Maneuver Ground is advancing a unified framework that:
- Integrates weapons, protection, mobility, power, and data into a cohesive system
- Optimizes size, weight, and power across the squad
- Enhances situational awareness and decision making at the point of contact
- Enables rapid, scalable modernization aligned to operational needs
The result is a force that is not only better equipped, but better connected, more agile, and more lethal.
Built on Proven Legacies
PAE Maneuver Ground stands on the foundation of the Army’s most impactful acquisition organizations: Program Executive Office Soldier and Combat Platforms.
For decades, this organization independently delivered world-class capabilities, from advanced body armor and night-vision systems to the Army’s most dominant combat vehicles. Their contributions were instrumental across the full spectrum of operations, from sustained combat in Iraq and Afghanistan to global deterrence and humanitarian missions.
Today, those legacies are unified under one command, combining deep expertise in Soldier-borne systems and platform-based capabilities into a single, mission-focused enterprise.
Delivering Combat Power at the Speed of Relevance
PAE Maneuver Ground is designed to move faster, think broader, and deliver smarter. By aligning requirements, acquisition, and integration within one organization, PAE Maneuver Ground accelerates the delivery of capabilities that are not only effective but also intuitive and sustainable for the Soldiers who depend on them.
The portfolio includes many of the Army’s most critical modernization efforts, including:
- Next-generation combat vehicles and armored platforms
- Advanced individual and crew-served weapons systems
- Integrated protection and survivability solutions
- Soldier-worn technologies and mission command systems
Every capability is developed and delivered with a singular focus: ensuring overmatch against current and emerging threats.
Our Purpose
PAE Maneuver Ground exists to ensure that Soldiers never fight alone as isolated systems, but as part of a fully integrated combat formation.
By uniting platforms and Soldiers into a cohesive, interoperable system, PAE Maneuver Ground delivers decisive advantage where it matters most, at the squad level, at the point of contact, and in the moments that define victory.
We equip the formation. We integrate the force. We enable Soldiers to fight, survive, and win.
