The new system, called Equipment Common Operation Picture or  ECOP is a web-based application that provides current policy information, libraries of approved equipment lists and a means to request critical equipment all in one tool.&nbsp; Commanders, operations officers and logisticians can access the application on the classified Internet (SIRNET) to review MTOEs, Mission Essential Equipment Lists and initiate Operational Needs Statement requests for special equipment not on their MTOE or an approved MEEL.&nbsp; The system officially launched 1 September, 2006.&nbsp;</p> <p> The deployment of ECOP supports two needs of the Army  the immediate need to support the warfighter deploying to contingency operations today and the more long term need to transformation to a new Army concept - ARFORGEN  were resources are synchronized to provide capable forces where and when needed. &nbsp;

A new common online database, called the Equipment Common Operating Picture (ECOP), provides easier access to mission essential equipment lists (MEELs). ECOP applies to all units currently deployed or deploying in the future to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. It contains hundreds of validated MEELs; other Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), equipment validations or authorizations; and HQDA equipping policy documents. ECOP can be used to create and submit operational needs statements digitally and to track their progress through the chain of command. Information on ECOP is available on the Third Army Web site at www.swa.arcent.army.smil.mil. Units may register to use the ECOP database at www.armyc2apps.hqda.army.smil.mil/ecop. Secure Internet protocol routing is required to access this site.
