JADC2 & the National Guard
 
Trial of use of personal electronics to access a fuse intelligence & targeting network.

Sounds very much like what is being done in Ukraine - though there civilians are providing much of the data through their mobile phones.

That, of course, may come to the National Guard in future as a result of lessons learnt - and o& course the military.

National Guardsmen may soon use personal electronics in deployments

WASHINGTON — National Guardsmen may soon be able to use their personal electronic devices for official functions during domestic deployments to help fill a resources gap and reduce mobilization time, according to the service’s chief information officer.…

The initiative, which is a in collaboration with the Department of the Army and the Pentagon’s cybersecurity office, is in a phase III pilot program consisting of a year-long trial with the largest sample size to date. After this trial, if deemed successful, the initiative will be enacted, McNeill said.….


While deployed to the streets of Washington, D.C., following the Jan. 6 insurrection, the National Guard employed a similar capability called Commercial Virtual Remote to carry out the mission that was limited in scope and time.

“Now we will have a capability that really links our force, even before they are called up for deployment,” he said. “This will be a game changer.”

JADC2

McNeill also discussed an addition to the Joint All-Domain Command and Control concept being implemented by the DoD that would focus on the needs of the National Guard’s mission set. Called “Project Homeland,” the initiative would apply the same capabilities of JADC2 to the domestic front.

JADC2 is a project by the Department of Defense to connect all the sensors from the individual services and compile data collected into a single information network. Previously, each service had their own tactical networks that were unable to interface with each other.

“JADC2 is a warfighting necessity to keep pace with the volume and complexity of data in modern warfare and to defeat adversaries decisively,” the department said in a statement. “JADC2 enables the Joint Force to ‘sense,’ ‘make sense,’ and ‘act’ on information across the battle-space quickly using automation, artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and machine learning to deliver informed solutions via a resilient and robust network environment.”

Project Homeland would apply those same capabilities during domestic deployments across the 54 states and territories National Guard units and their civilian interagency partners as opposed to the military services and their coalition forces…..

"Hello, is this Headquarters? we need urgent assista"......

Are they going to pick up the cell phones bill?
I thought one of the problems when 911 happened was the networks all collapsed under the sheer weight of the calls being attempted. So i take it they will have mobile masts available.

From Wiki


After the attack, the cell phone network of New York City was rapidly overloaded (a mass call event) as traffic doubled over normal levels. Cell phone traffic also overloaded across the East Coast, leading to crashes of the cell phone network. Verizon's downtown wire phone service was interrupted for days and weeks because of cut subscriber cables, and to the 140 West Street exchange being shut for days. Capacity between Brooklyn and Manhattan was also diminished by cut trunk cables.

Following the attacks, the issues with the cell network weren't resolved until 36 cellular COWs (cell towers on wheels) were deployed by September 14, 2001, in Lower Manhattan to support the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and provide critical phone service to rescue and recovery workers.
