NAS Jax mobile command helps Hurricane Isaac recovery on base

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - - A team of engineers and one of their new favorite tools just returned to Jacksonville after assisting Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans recover from Hurricane Isaac. The group from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) took their new mobile command center on the road for the first time, though they have had the tool since 2009. Onboard, the team has everything they need to be self-sufficient in a disaster zone. The mobile unit includes internet access, radios and cell service from multiple companies, in case one cellular signal provider loses coverage after a storm.
