Command and Control - The TOC



The MiTT's Tactical Operating Center appears to have the minimum capability it requires to monitor MiTT movements and communications with higher headquarters. However, I would like to look into getting some of the Common Operational Pictures, UAV feeds and if possible a Tandberg to improve the capability within the MiTT's TOC.
While I'm not sure if that will be possible. I can see that being very useful when it comes to monitoring post 30 June 2009 activities. After 30 June, US forces are no longer supposed to roam freely in the Iraqi cities. US Forces will require Iraqi escort to enter the city areas.
This is being heralded as great news for the Iraqi's. Iraqi units are deemed capable enough of controlling the cities and will now have that responsibility. American Forces will assist by controlling the non-populated regions. The intent is to give no safe havens for terrorists, with the Iraqi Forces securing the cities and the Coalition Forces securing outside the cities.
The next coming months will be a crucial test.
