SIMPLIFYING SATCOM
A PICTURE OF SELF-RELIANCE
A Soldier from the 4/25 ID sets up a WIN-T T2C2 Lite satellite terminal during the March pilot phase of the T2C2 operational test. T2C2 will be owned, repaired and sustained by the units that operate it—with reachback support available from CECOM logistics assistance representatives, and depot-level maintenance available for major issues.

industry stakeholders that provide capabilities to the unit. Tey help ensure that proper training and equipment are in place and conduct end-to-end integration and planning to successfully execute events such as the T2C2 IOT&E.
“LARs will provide the training, mentorship and support needed when the unit becomes fully accountable for its T2C2 systems,” Flynn said. “Tey will provide the continuity and cohesiveness units need as their Soldiers transition in and out of the mission.”
MAINTAINING THE FISHING POLE Maintenance is an important part of the T2C2 sustainment plan, to enable units to be fully accountable for their systems. In accordance with the T2C2 Life Cycle Sustainment Plan, the system will be sustained using two-level maintenance—with the unit, not contracted field support representatives, situated forward, fixing its own equipment first. When issues exceed unit capability, the systems will be sent out for depot-level support.
“You don’t have to be too savvy on how to change out parts and fix the system,” Farthing said. “If we do have to change a part that breaks, it’s super easy on this system, whether it be on the baseband side or the antenna side. T2C2 is simple, definitely user-friendly.”
Contractor support will be used until the depot-level support for sustainment maintenance is in place. Te Product Manager for SATCOM intends to fully use the Standard Army Supply System when parts exceed their one-year warranty, as soon as parts are on the shelf and contracts for procurement and repair of spares are in place.
In addition to having LAR support, CECOM trail bosses, located at every Army division headquarters, will provide units with additional logistics support. Trail bosses have an extensive network of contacts and can assist units in locating the right people and resources to most effectively and efficiently resolve maintenance and other sustainment challenges.
