Disaster relief operations, such as the 2005 Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and wartime operations, such as
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, have identified the need for a standardized command and control
system interoperable among Joint, Coalition, and Interagency entities. The Systems Engineering Analysis Cohort 9 (SEA-9)
Rapid Response Command and Control (R2C2) integrated project team completed a systems engineering (SE) process to
address the military’s command and control capability gap. During the process, the R2C2 team conducted mission analysis,
generated requirements, developed and modeled architectures, and analyzed and compared current operational systems versus
the team’s R2C2 system. The R2C2 system provided a reachback capability to the Regional Combatant Commander’s (RCC)
headquarters, a local communications network for situational assessments, and Internet access for civilian counterparts
participating in Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief operations. Because the team designed the R2C2 system to be
modular, analysis concluded that the R2C2 system was the preferred method to provide the RCC with the required flexibility
and scalability to deliver a rapidly deployable command and control capability to perform the range of military operations.
