Multi-Domain Command Europe (MDC-E) is a command of the United States Army. It is the Force Field Artillery Headquarters for U.S. Army Europe and Africa, tasked to "synchronize, integrate, and control fires and effects" for U.S. land forces.

It was originally formed on 14 September 1942, as the 56th Coast Artillery Brigade and has been reorganized and redesignated several times until its inactivation on 30 June 1991, following the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War. United States Army Europe and Africa conducted the reactivation ceremony for the 56th Artillery Command on 8 November 2021, at Lucius D. Clay Kaserne, Wiesbaden, Germany. At the change of command ceremony on July 11, 2025 56th Artillery Command was renamed the Multi-Domain Command Europe (MDC-E).
