CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti: The first of its kind, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa's forward command post gives U.S. Africa Command and CJTF-HOA an eyes-on capability that amplifies the ability to rapidly respond to a crisis or humanitarian incident in Africa.
"Our mission is to effectively counter violent extremists in Somalia and East Africa," said U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Robert Hunter, CJTF-HOA Operations, Planning and Training operations chief....
The command'
Once the FCP and its components reach the geographical location in which they're most useful, Hunter said it can be assembled and configured in various ways to optimally accommodate mission requirements.
All FCP configurations use the same central tent, HDT Global's AirBeam Shelter. According to the HDT company web site, the AirBeam Shelter can support command and control operations, which is perfect for a joint operations center.
...
After the FCP is fully built, the number of personnel required to operate it depends on the type of operations it will be used for.
"For a full operation, you're looking at 25 to 35 personnel, but a minimal operation would require only 8 to 12 people," said Hunter.
With the testing phase of the FCP complete, the current focus is preparing the tent system for future use in CJTF-HOA'
"This brand-new system has never been used before," said Hunter, "so we're taking time now to make sure we'll have no issues with it when the time comes to use it in the real world."
