# eXpeditionary Live-Virtual-Constructive Command Center
**Entity class:** Exercise-control and common-operating-picture system
**Aliases:** XLCC
## Definition
The **eXpeditionary Live-Virtual-Constructive Command Center (XLCC)** provides exercise control and a common operating picture for a distributed [[wiki/Multi-Domain Operational Environment|Multi-Domain Operational Environment]]. It integrates simulation, instrumentation, tactical systems, observations, and real-time data for planning, execution, assessment, and post-test analysis.
## Ground Truth and Perceived Truth
CPE ST3 documentation says XLCC can visualize both **ground truth** and **perceived truth** for friendly and threat sensors. That is a direct engineering counterpart to dramaturgical front-stage/back-stage separation: controllers can maintain the underlying state while regulating what a participant or sensor is permitted to perceive.
