Naval Region Southwest Radio System
In last month’s MT
Milcom column we
profiled the new
Naval Region Dispatch
Centers that have been
established nationwide,
specifically the Southeast
Region. This month we
will take a closer look at
the Naval Region Southwest.
The consolidation of
the Navy Region Southwest
(NRSW) dispatch
centers into one Regional
Dispatch Center (RDC)
became official on Sept.
28, 2011 during a ribbon‐cutting
ceremony
at their new Regional
Operations Center (ROC) in San Diego.
Eleven dispatch locations throughout
NRSW were combined into a single dispatch
center at ROC, effectively streamlining public
safety service delivery.
The consolidation began in April 2011,
with emergency dispatch services becoming
more centralized as the NRSW RDC expanded
operationally. The result has been complete
emergency coordination responses from one
central location.
“This RDC provides enhanced reporting
capabilities,” said Stephen Klemko, the NRSW
RDC manager. “It gives our dispatchers greater
situational awareness, better visuals as to where
emergency assets are at, manpower savings, and
reduced costs in maintaining legacy equipment.”
Prior to the consolidation, emergency
services were dispatched from the individual
installations, often times by a single dispatcher.
Now, the NRSW RDC has 12‐14 dispatchers at
any given time available to provide support to
callers and backup to each other.
“All alarms – both fire and security – and
all 911 calls that originate at the installations now
come to one centralized location,” said Mark
Frederickson, the NRSW emergency management
program director. “The technology we have
here is better and it better allows our dispatchers
to control events.”
According to Klemko, emergency phone
calls made from any base telephone in the region
is automatically routed to the NRSW RDC,
which then coordinates the response with no
decrease in quality or speed of service.
NRSW is responsible for shore installation
support of the 10 major installations and

numerous smaller Naval entities located within
Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New
Mexico and Utah.
The Navy-wide National Enterprise Land
Mobile Radio (ELMR) System is a non‐tactical
Project 25 compliant trunked land mobile radio
system that will be installed at every non‐BRAC
listed Navy installation throughout CONUS.
ELMR will primarily be used for quick, coordinated
responses to day‐to‐day incidents, but can
also accommodate the capability and flexibility
needed for emergency situations.
❖ Trunk Radio Sites in the

field reports for talkgroups and any site
updates. You can send them to the email address
in the masthead.
