::summary One of a few key individuals in the United States military acquisition process ::

A program executive officer, or PEO, is one of a few key individuals in the United States military acquisition process. Shown by the examples below, a program executive officer may be responsible for a specific program (e.g., the Joint Strike Fighter), or for an entire portfolio of similar programs (e.g., the Navy PEO for aircraft carriers).

  • Army: The direct reports of the Army Acquisition Executive are program executive officers for the respective program executive offices (PEOs)

The current program executive officers include (but may not be limited to):

Army

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.

2023

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 (for example, UAVs were studied by PEO Aviation and PEO Soldier). The network-related areas of interest were supplied by three PEOs, including: Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S); Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (C3T); and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). The PEO for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S) gained the responsibility for all cyber operations. The responsibility for tactical and enterprise network elements was assigned to PEO Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T). 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.
