Communications Platoon

The data section is responsible for all computer related issues for the battalion, to include email, office support, servers, switches, routers, and printers.

This ultimately leads to clear and concise information passage between units by way of two way radio communication.

A typical radio network has a central hub located at the battalions Combat Operations Center.

For purposes of anti radio direction finding, all radio systems and antennas are remotely moved away from the battalion Combat Operations Center, leaving only the operators with an interface behind.

With this system established Indirect Fire Agencies, casualty evacuation, resupply and many other vital services can be accomplished.
