Comprehensive Communication Services (CCS) is excited to be attending the 148th General Conference & Exhibition of the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) in Indianapolis, Indiana from August 28–31, 2026, with pre-conference activities starting August 27. The annual business meeting and trade show bring together over 4,000 defense leaders, officers, and industry representatives. Our primary focus for attending this show is in support of all the National Guard Units CCS is lucky to count as customers who utilize our MERC mobile command centers. This includes Guard units from New York, Puerto Rico, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, and of course our home State of Texas.
We are especially proud this year to be displaying a new MERC-LITE tactical command center that was purchased by the NAWCAD-WOLF Team that is serving as the prototype for the new JISCCb5 trailer package. Earlier this year we provided this team with a MERC-LITE as a bailment unit for proof of concept and it passed with rave reviews. For those of you not familiar with JISCC, the Joint Incident Site Communications Capability (JISCC) is a mobile, deployable communications package used by the National Guard and civil authorities during domestic disasters and emergencies. It can be towed or airlifted to an incident site to quickly provide vital voice, data, video, and radio cross-agency connections.
Although the MERC-LITE has never been deployed as an official part of the JISCC package, multiple Guard units have purchased them with their own funding to assist in the rapid deployment of mobile communication assets and to provide an easy to deploy Zumro Air Shelter for on-site climate-controlled workspace. CCS has also worked with US SouthComm to deploy dozens of MERC-LITEs in Central and South America including units in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Panama, Guatemala, and Honduras. CCS just recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic to train their military on a new MERC-LITE they recently purchased to add to their existing fleet of MERC-LITEs.
