Tactical operations center

A TOC usually includes a small group of specially trained officers or military personnel who guide members of an active tactical element during a mission.

One of the best-known TOCs is NORAD, which conducts North American airspace defense operations.

[1][2] TOC officers are usually positioned in a way that enables line-of-sight communication between team members, as well as overall communication with the TOC operations officer (or commander).

Larger TOCs have a location where senior leaders are able to sit and observe operations of subordinate units.

Mobile TOC's are easily used, as they allow infantry have a place to stay, while having full communication with the main command center.
