Site Uniform’s microwave radio site.
Future communication work includes installation of switches and network cabling to all training buildings located on
both sites to support network connectivity. In addition, both Sites Papa and Uniform are scheduled to receive Information
Processing System (IPS) safes and encryption devices.
Site Maverick is configured to replicate eight TOCs. Sufficient network drops were installed in the TOCs to support
the increased 96B10 student load throughout the course’s ten day FTX. Connectivity to the existing Fort Huachuca
data backbone was extended to Site Maverick in the 3 rd Quarter FY04 by the Fort Huachuca Director of Information
Management (DOIM). The Site Maverick communications network is distributed via fiber-optic cabling from the main
309 th MI Battalion soldiers training in field.
communications closet located in an existing building through manholes to each of the eight TOC buildings. This communications
closet currently houses racked switches for complete network connectivity, the IPS safe and encryption
device.
Change is a constant feature in today’s training environment, adapting to change is necessary in order to take advantage
of lessons learned and to incorporate advanced technology. Increased student loads, a new digital communication
infrastructure, and the aggressive incorporation of lessons learned have provided the 309 th MI Battalion and
the DTO numerous opportunities to improve and enhance the training experience. By taking advantage of change, a
rare opportunity now exists to utilize three cutting edge IMT training facilities to incorporate relevant lessons learned
with a world class communications infrastructure.
