Welcome

Our mission is to "Alert Take Charge and Move Out" (TACAMO) aircraft located at continental U.S. facilities and the relay of emergency action messages from national command authority to airborne TACAMO aircraft and command centers, to provide worldwide air-to-ground and ground-to air voice/data link in support of deployed TACAMO forces. This task is accomplished within a communications infrastructure that spans a technical network of circuits which include medium speed computer data lines to radio signals in the very low frequency (VLF) to extremely high frequency (EHF) spectrum.

Communications support is extended beyond the continental U.S. to both Atlantic and Pacific oceanographic regions by two strategic communications detachments located at Travis Air Force Base, Fairfield, California and Naval Air Statin (NAS) Patuxent River, Maryland.
