organizations. The main operational difference is that communications
packages provided by ITSBs typically come from a single platoon, or at worst,
a single company. These individuals have lived together, trained together,
worked together, and fought together under the same leadership. Such teams
have greater cohesiveness than ad-hoc teams. Parent unit support to the
deployed team has the advantage of coming from a single parent unit. In
contrast, contingency packages assembled from non-ITSB organizations are
likely to have elements from several different companies, battalions, and/or
commands. Unit cohesiveness may not be as great. Parent unit support is
less efficient when it comes from multiple parent units.
ITSB SMALL CONTINGENCY COMMUNICATIONS PACKAGE
4-96. The mission of the ITSB small contingency communications package is
to provide an initial entry theater-strategic link in support of forward
deployed contingency headquarters (for example, JTF or ARFOR) with follow-
on support of forward tactical headquarters (for example, division rear and
division tactical command). Figure 4-22 provides an example of a small
contingency communications package. Table

Up to three small contingency packages can be task organized within each ITSB.
When it is critical to minimize air transport requirements, the base band node (BBN) - early entry data
package components can be shipped on a pallet, and one HMMWV and one generator can be transported
later. In this configuration, the team is only 75 percent self-sufficient for ground transport and will be reliant on
the supported unit for data package power.
Aircraft numbers required are estimates and include pallets for two personal bags per soldier. Food is not
included.
Deployment times as required by supported combatant commander. Level of alert/standby to support times
shorter than N+72 hours severely impacts training.
Bandwidths allocated to various services are for illustration only. Allocation in the field will be by METT-TC.
Total bandwidth available depends on the combination of ancillary equipment installed in the SATCOM
terminal and on availability of bandwidth from the space segment (the bird); up to 8 Mbps can be achieved.

FM 6-02.45________________________________________________________________________________
NOTIONAL DEPLOYMENT SEQUENCE
4-103. Actual deployment of theater signal and supported forces into a
theater will be determined on a case-by-case basis by METT-TC. The notional
sequence below provides a basis for understanding the process of developing
signal capability in a theater and its relationship to organizational structure:
•
The initial theater signal contingency package will be based on one of
the three package types (small, medium, or heavy). The size will be
selected based mainly on the number of subscribers to be supported,
but all the factors of METT-TC will be considered.
•
The initial contingency package deploys and begins operations.
Departure from home station occurs notification (N)+18 hours for
small, medium, and heavy. Transportation time to theater is not
under the control of the signal organization. Upon arrival, the initial
package sets up and begins operation and maintenance of services
within arrival+24 hours for small, medium, and heavy.
•
In the case of ITSB, the initial contingency package will typically be a
single node provided by any of the nodal platoons in the battalion.
•
In the case of non-ITSB forces, the initial contingency package may
be provided by a power pack company or task organized from other
forces available.
•
As the supported force grows, the initial contingency package will be
augmented by additional elements such as cable and wire, additional
multichannel SATCOM, TROPO systems, multichannel LOS systems,
and additional voice and data switching. In some cases, the
contingency package will be left in place and simply augmented. In
others, arriving signal elements will replace elements of the
contingency package in order to free them for follow-on deployments
such as the onward movement of forward elements of the supported
headquarters.
•
In the case of an ITSB, the follow-on elements will come mostly from
the parent company or battalion providing the contingency package.
This includes early cable and wire support by the organic wire and
cable capability of the ITSB.
•
In the case of non-ITSB forces, follow-on elements will come from a
variety of sources. To the extent possible, they will come from the
parent unit providing the contingency package. Because non-ITSB
forces do not have the technological diversity of the ITSB in single
battalions, some of the follow-on augmentation is likely to come from
other organizations such as composite battalions.
•
If a semipermanent or permanent installation is required to free up
tactical signal units for redeployment, elements of the Tactical
Installation and Networking (TIN) Company may be deployed to
install wiring and networking equipment commensurate with the
permanence of the facilities and the requirements of the supported
force.
4-44
________________________________________________________________________________FM 6-02.45
• As the TIN establishes semipermanent or permanent network
facilities, it trains the using unit(s) of the facilities in the operation
and maintenance of the equipment installed and prepares for
redeployment.
• Planning for transition to contractor support begins as early as
possible in the overall deployment planning process. This is to free
tactical signal assets as quickly as possible for follow-on or future
deployments. The goal is to transition to contractor support as soon
as the local security/force protection situation makes it feasible.
Typical lead times for the contracting process are in the range of 30 to
120 days from initiation of planning to contractors on the ground.
ECB ARCHITECTURES
4-104. In addition to providing support to theater level headquarters and
other theater level elements, a normal task for theater signal units is to
provide upward connectivity for corps and division signal units in order to
extend services to corps and division level users and to enable reach back for
those echelons. Figure
4-28 illustrates the key features of the signal
architecture at ECB to which theater signal units must interface. Figure 4-29
provides a simplified version of Tactical Internet connectivity at maneuver
brigade and below.
STOVEPIPE ARCHITECTURES
4-105. There is not a formal definition for the term stovepipe architecture or
stovepipe system. Stovepipe architecture refers to the design of systems that
serve only a narrowly defined community of users and have limited or no
interoperability with other user communities. The Army seeks to avoid the
establishment and maintenance of stovepipe systems because the lack of
interoperability hinders the seamless exchange of information necessary for
info-centric operations, and because they divert resources from providing
communications and information services to the Army as a whole.
4-106. While the Army seeks to avoid stovepipe systems, some systems have
developed in response to bona-fide requirements that could not be met by the
common user systems and services provided by the Signal Regiment.
Examples of signal shortfalls that have driven the establishment of such
systems include classification level, bandwidth, and quality of service. The
fact that these systems have competed effectively for resources at some level
to come into existence and to remain in existence testifies to the validity of
the requirements they fill.
4-107. Signal leaders will sometimes encounter such systems in the field,
and may be required to provide varying degrees of support to them. On some
occasions, they may be required to provide interfaces between these and
other systems even though such interfaces were not originally designed into
the respective systems.
4-108. Signal leaders and planners (for example, force developers, combat
developers, and materiel developers) should strive to make future
mainstream signal forces capable of meeting the user requirements that
drive stovepipe systems so the number of such systems can be reduced.

4-110. The TROJAN SPIRIT system is an intelligence dissemination
satellite terminal that provides access for intelligence processing and

common user system to provide TS/SCI service and, to an extent, provide the
bandwidth required for intelligence services and products.
4-111. The SPIRIT II program, a follow-on to SPIRIT I, provides a much
more robust terminal and increased capability. It is a near-term fix for high-
capacity imagery data communications capability. It consists of secure voice,
data, facsimile, video, and secondary imagery dissemination capabilities. The
system will receive, display, and transmit digital imagery, weather and
terrain products, templates, graphics, and text between CONUS/OCONUS
bases and deployed forces.
4-112. The Communications Central extends the current worldwide
TROJAN fixed station architecture to the tactical intelligence force structure
in a mobile configuration. It has alternative communications capabilities
down to brigade level, and uses existing external alternate current/direct
current power sources or the on-board, tunnel-mounted, 10-kilowatt diesel
generator. Supporting components are:
• A primary heavy high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle
(HHMMWV) shelter subsystem consisting of secure voice and data
and SATCOM processing and dissemination equipment integrated
into an S-788/G shelter mounted on an M-1097 HHMMWV. The
enhanced combat vehicle (ECV) is replacing the HHMMWV.
• The C/KU-band SATCOM mobile antenna platform for ECB or a tri-
band SATCOM trailer for EAC.
• A spare equipment maintenance subsystem consisting of a second
S-788/G shelter carried on an M-1097 HHMMWV.
4-113. The TROJAN SPIRIT II SATCOM system supports up to 14 circuits
(eight TS/SCI and six collateral) using variable baud rates from 4.8 to 512
Kbps per channel on C, Ku, or X frequency bands. System connectivity
capability includes DSNET1, DSNET3, MSE, Tactical Packet Network (TPN)
interfaces, and LAN connectivity. The TROJAN SPIRIT II is shelter mounted
on two HMMWVs. The system's two workstations also allow the operators to
receive and disseminate secondary imagery, signal intelligence databases and
reports, and unmanned aerial vehicle video. This capability allows the
TROJAN SPIRIT II to serve as a temporary communications set for the
analysis and control element during redeployment or split-based operations.
4-114. The TROJAN SPIRIT II combines the TROJAN Data Network (TDN)
with mobile switch extensions to offer a worldwide, forward-deployed, quick-
reaction reporting and analysis link. This corps and division asset provides
dedicated intelligence communications that is intended to augment EAC and
ECB in-theater communications. It will conduct split-based and inter- and
intra-theater operations through the range of military operations.
4-48
________________________________________________________________________________FM 6-02.45
4-115. Connectivity is provided through the Fort Belvoir TROJAN switching
center that currently connects TROJAN systems at various US bases with
front-end antenna arrays located worldwide. The Communications Central
combines this network with mobile switch extensions to offer a worldwide,
forward-deployed, quick reaction reporting and analysis link. Figure 4-30
depicts TDN connectivity.
4-116. The TDN is a router, TCP, or IP based network. It is overlaid on the
communications network that links the AN/FSQ-144(V) TROJAN CLASSIC
central operating facilities and switch extensions at various US bases with
remote collection facilities worldwide. The TDN is subdivided into three
electronically and physically separated networks that correspond to the three
security levels required of the system. As with the TROJAN CLASSIC
architecture, the TDN has a TROJAN Network Control Center in the
TROJAN Switch Center at Fort Belvoir, VA, to provide configuration control
and network management. The three networks of the TDN are:
• TDN-1. The TDN-1 operates at the Secret security level and is the
gateway to DSNET1. It provides data exchange between TROJAN
Classic facilities, switch extensions, and SPIRITs.
• TDN-2. The TDN-2 operates at the TS/SCI security level. It provides
data exchange between selected TROJAN sites requiring access to the
National Security Agency network.
• TDN-3. The TDN-3 operates at the TS/SCI security level and is the
gateway to JWICS. It provides data exchange between TROJAN
Classic facilities, switch extensions, and SPIRITs.
4-117. Although currently there are shortfalls in Army common user
communications systems capability, current actions and plans allow the
TROJAN SPIRIT to serve as an example of these problems being corrected.
For the long-term solution, the requirements and planning documents for the
Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) system provide for the
bandwidth and security capabilities to carry this and other intelligence
requirements. (WIN-T is the next generation Army common user system.) As
a near-term action to provide for a degree of integrated network
management, the signal and intelligence communities have agreed to provide
automated visibility for signal network management facilities into the
TROJAN SPIRIT network. This is one significant step towards the goal of a
single Army enterprise network.

Theater Strategic and Tactical Signal Organizations
This chapter discusses the missions, functions, and salient characteristics
of the fully implemented theater signal organizations of the current force,
both strategic and tactical. It discusses the command and support
relationships for theater signal units in peacetime and how some of these
relationships would change in wartime. The detailed information on
assignments, task organizations, and organizational structure is a
snapshot in time and is intended to be informative and illustrative, not
authoritative. The authority for and changes to command and support
relationships come from a variety of sources such as orders and operation
plans (OPLANS). The authority for organizational structures is exercised
through the ARFOR development process and is promulgated by
authorization documents such as MTOEs. The authoritative documents
can change with little or no notice for a variety of circumstances.
NEW/SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED FORCE STRUCTURES
5-1. New and modified force structures have been developed to keep theater
signal relevant in meeting warfighter communications requirements. These
new structures significantly reduce the need to task organize signal assets.
These force structures will be phased in gradually and will co-exist with units
of the current force structure during the transition period.
5-2. The new and significantly modified force structures include:
• ITSB.
• TIN Company.
• Combat Camera (COMCAM) Company.
• NETCOM/9thASC (formerly U.S. Army Signal Command).
• NOSCs at various echelons.
5-3. In addition, data packages are integrated into existing organizations at
several echelons. Other significant changes include integrating GBS TIPs
and joint command, control, communications, and computers packages
(JC4Ps) into selected new and existing organizations.
FORCE STRUCTURES BEING PHASED OUT

STRATEGIC/FIXED STATION
5-6. Due to the fluid nature of the common operational environment, theater
strategic/fixed station signal organizations may find themselves operating at
or supporting the strategic, operational, or tactical level of war. For the
purpose of this manual, the terms strategic and fixed station describe
organizations that do not deploy from their home stations, and include
organizations that provide intra- and/or inter-theater communications
supporting both power projection and C2 systems that span from the
warfighter through the Secretary of Defense to the President of the United
States. While organizational structures of strategic/fixed station
organizations are different and unique, the fundamental mission (C2 and
signal support) remains the same for all organizations.
TOE 11800 NETCOM/9TH ASC
5-7. In accordance with Department of the Army General Order Number
2002-05, Headquarters, Army Signal Command was reorganized and
redesignated as the NETCOM/9th ASC. This expanded the mission of the
