Deployable Tactical Operations System
The National Deployable Tactical Operations System (DTOS) is a vehicle-based
tactical system with an 18-vehicle fleet spread throughout the Corps. DTOS
provides command and control for disaster operations. Nationally, there
are three Deployable Tactical Operations Center (DTOC) sets, two in Mobile District
and one in Sacramento District. Each is composed of two Emergency Tactical
Operations Center (ETOC) trailers which are towed into position. These
trailers have workspace, computer capabilities, communication systems, and can
be manned by up to 38 personnel. Each DTOC set is supported by a
communication vehicle and a support vehicle, all deployable within 36 hours.

In recent years, emergency team members from Mobile district have deployed
to Kuwait, Haiti and Surinam, throughout the Southeast, and assisted other
district emergency response needs including Hurricane Georges recovery in
