US Army wants more mobile command posts

There is a movement afoot to address the Army's future command post capability requirements, Kathryn Bailey, Communication-Electronics PAO, reports. In lieu of stagnant and large tent-based command posts, the Army is looking to develop smaller, mobile command posts that are agile and just as effective as their "big brothers."

"Large command posts are packed with effective mission command capabilities, but their large signature makes them more detectable," said Lisa Heidelberg, Mission Command Capabilities Division, chief for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Communication-Electronics Center.
