Deployable
Tactical Operations Systems
Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV)
After many years of responding to emergencies, it was determined
that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) needed emergency
response vehicles to provide an expedient tactical operations
and communications platform for first responders where there
are no available facilities or communications to support
response operations. To meet this national requirement,
USACE developed the National Deployable Tactical Operations
System (DTOS).
DTOS is designed to meet response requirements for natural
or manmade disasters in the United States and overseas (as
required), humanitarian assistance, military contingencies,
and special non-disaster command requirements. DTOS can
provide communications in forward areas during civil and
military contingencies that would be interoperable with
all USACE elements, Department of Defense, the U.S. Army,
Federal Emergency Management Agency and other federal and
state government agencies.
DTOS is a vehicle-based tactical system with an 18-vehicle
fleet spread throughout the USACE. DTOS provides command
and control for disaster operations. Six of the 18 vehicles
are known as Rapid Response Vehicles (RRV). These RRV’s
are strategically placed throughout the continental United
States, with one in the East (Baltimore, Md.), three in
the Midwest (Nashville, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., and Fort
Worth, Texas) and two in the West (Los Angeles, Calif.,
and Portland, Ore.).
Each RRV is designed to support eight to 10 personnel
and report to an emergency location within 18 hours. Each
vehicle is exactly the same and features workspaces, computer
capabilities, satellite links to the internet and radio
communication systems.
In recent years, the Baltimore District’s RRV emergency
team members have deployed to New York, Washington, D.C.,
Texas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
