As the Army continues to transition to peacetime operations, sustaining
the force and maintaining readiness is among the Army’s
top priorities, and the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics
Command’s mission of reset, maintenance and sustainment of
communications-electronics systems will aid in that transition.
This past January, the CECOM Logistics and Readiness Center,
in conjunction with contractor support, completed RESET
operations and conducted training on the Air Traffic Navigation
Integration and Communication System, ATNAVICS, at Fort
Campbell, Ky.
ATNAVICS is a highly mobile air traffic control system that provides
airport surveillance radar, precision approach radar and secondary
surveillance radar capabilities to Air Traffic Service units.
CECOM personnel went out of their way to deliver
their services at little to no cost to my unit. CECOM
made my unit a priority and for that I’m grateful.

“The training was very beneficial to all Air Traffic Controller and
military maintainers who attended,” said Chief Warrant Officer
Domingo A. Sanchez, brigade air traffic and airspace management
tech who has worked closely with CECOM in the past.
CECOM logisticians, in conjunction with contract support, conducted
on-site refresher training for the Soldiers of the F Company,
7-101st Aviation Brigade, some of whom were only trained
on the ATNAVICS during their Advanced Individual Training.
