Each of the Army PEOs direct the Acquisition Executive's lines of effort, such as Ground combat systems. The PEOs work closely with the directors of Cross-functional teams of the Army's Futures Command.
In October 2023, changes to three PEOs' missions occurred. The restructure transferred network-related areas previously under multiple PEOs', to instead be under one PEO. The network-related areas of interest were supplied by three PEOs, including: Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors ; Command, Control and Communications-Tactical ; and Enterprise Information Systems. The PEO for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors gained the responsibility for all cyber operations. The responsibility for tactical and enterprise network elements was assigned to PEO Command, Control and Communications-Tactical. As part of the transfer, two PMs from PEO EIS were transferred to PEO IEW&S and PEO C3T. The realignment did not affect any Army positions or contracts.
