Mobile Command Deployment Protocol
01
Power First — Always
Deploy power station first. Set up solar panel input. Verify output capacity. All other systems depend on this.
02
Establish Communications
Satellite communicator activated and tested. Two-way radio channels established. NOAA radio scanning.
03
Deploy Computing
Rugged laptop online, offline maps loaded, communications software running. Log all information received.
04
Navigation Brief
Area map posted. Waypoints confirmed on GPS watch. Extraction routes marked. Rally points confirmed with all personnel.
05
Establish Routine
Communications check-in schedule. Comms log maintained. Power state monitored every 2 hours.
