Mobile Subscriber Equipment Lessons Learned at the Brigade Level

Abstract

This paper discusses some of the lessons learned during the 3d Signal Brigade fielding of Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) and the training of III corps subscribers to use MSE at Fort Hood, Texas. MSE is a digital, nodal communications system capable of providing common user voice and limited data transmission for corps and division subscribers. In 1988, III Corps was the first corps to begin fielding MSE equipment. The fielding at Fort Hood was not accomplished without some growing pains. However, the benefits of having the new equipment far outweighed transition through the teething phase. The rest of the corps in the Army will field MSE following the lead of III Corps and Fort Hood. This paper discusses some of the lessons learned in the areas of: training, operations, personnel, and logistics during the fielding process.
