Chapter 2 2-16 ATP 4-90 June 18, 2020 Figure 2-1. Example brigade support battalion main command post Commanders cross-functionally organize their staffs into CP cells and staff sections to enable them to exercise mission command. This is accomplished by organizing CPs with functional and integrating cells. Functional cells group personnel and equipment by warfighting function. Integrating cells group personnel and equipment by planning horizon. To promote coordination and synchronization, commanders cross-functionally organize elements of staff sections in CPs and cells. The BSB staff is designed to be cross functional between the staff sections. Within a CP, the battalion arranges the location of CP cells and staff elements to facilitate internal communication and coordination. This arrangement may change over the course of operations as the situation changes. Figure 2-2 depicts the combination of functional and integrating cells across staff sections.
