  1-112. In many operations, the CCBN will establish a Regional Contracting Center, with CCBN
  personnel forming the foundation of the Regional Contracting Center. The Regional Contracting Center
  provides general support on an area basis, as well as oversight and mission command of subordinate,
  geographically-dispersed regional contracting offices. The CCBN Commander serves as Chief of the
  Contracting Office (COCO) with greater authority than a typical contingency contracting officer who is the
  service member or Department of Defense civilian with the legal authority to enter into, administer,
  modify, and/or terminate contracts (JP 4-10).
  1-113. The FMSU and/or FMSD should coordinate closely with the CCBN (or Regional Contracting
  Center) to ensure FM and contract support within the division or corps area is well-planned and
  synchronized.
  CONTINGENCY CONTRACTING TEAM (CCT)
  1-114. The CCT consists of five contingency contracting officers and is the foundational building block
  of theater support contract writing and execution. A CCT is capable of deploying individually in support of
  small-scale operations, particularly in direct support of a BCT, Sustainment Brigade, or other brigade-sized
  element. The CCT may also deploy as part of a larger CSB or CCBN structure to support large-scale
  operations typically involving a Joint Task Force, division, or corps headquarters. The CCT’s mission and
  position, as well as operational phase, will dictate whether the CCT provides direct or general support,
  ultimately determined by the senior contracting commander. One or more CCTs may be combined to form
  a regional contracting office to provide general support on an area basis, with the senior officer designated
  as Chief of Contracting Office. The FMSD should synchronize and plan FM operations with the supporting
  CCT (or regional contracting office) to ensure effective, efficient support to the warfighter.
  Note. Current Army force structure includes the Contingency Contracting Battalion (CCBN);
  however, the differences between the CCT and CCBN are minor and the two are generally
  interchangeable.
