U.S. Army Moves To Mobilize And Disperse Its Increasingly Vulnerable Command Posts (From Forbes)

The U.S. Army has traditionally set up its combat command posts in clusters of tents near the action. That won’t do anymore. Any fixed location within range of enemy weapons is likely to be taken out early in the fighting, or to have its transmissions electronically jammed. To survive and thrive in high-intensity combat, command posts now must disperse and stay on the move. So, the Army is moving command-post operations out of tents and onto vehicles while encrypting signals. The program is called Command Post Integrated Infrastructure, or CPI2. I have written a commentary for Forbes here.
