“321st STS Distributed Command and Control (DC2) Communications Equipment at Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath

21 May 2026

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Mission: In an era of renewed great power competition, the 321st Special Tactics Squadron (321 STS) provides a highly responsive and rapidly deployable force designed to deter aggression and project power across the European theater. As a key enabler for joint and combined forces, the 321 STS is prepared to establish and control the critical air-to-ground interface in contested environments against near-peer adversaries. The squadron's elite Combat Controllers, Pararescuemen, and Special Reconnaissance operators are experts in a range of core tasks. These include conducting clandestine reconnaissance and surveillance of potential targets, the assessment and establishment of austere airfields and assault zones, and providing precision air traffic control and secure, long-range command and control communications.

Furthermore, the unit remains on constant alert to provide expeditionary combat trauma care, personnel recovery, and terminal attack control for munitions delivered by a variety of air assets.

In line with the strategic imperative for increased burden-sharing, the 321 STS is dedicated to enhancing the lethality and interoperability of NATO allies and partners, ensuring a cohesive and resilient force capable of responding to any contingency within the EUCOM/SOCEUR Area of Responsibility.

1.2 Background: The 321st Special Tactics Squadron’s existing C2 infrastructure is insufficient to meet the demands of a modern, contested environment, creating a critical capability gap. To ensure seamless interoperability and mission success, new Tactical C2 portable communications systems from ROMEO SIX are required. These rugged, man-portable C2 boxes will complement a larger command hub and extend command and control to the tactical edge, enabling dismounted teams to maintain robust connectivity with the main TOC. The integration of this system will greatly enhance the 321 STS's ability to conduct agile and distributed operations

1.3 Scope: This communications solution will equip the 321st Special Tactics Squadron (321 STS) with a modernized, resilient, and agile infrastructure required for multi-domain operations. The ROMEO SIX portable communications systems extend C2 capability to the tactical edge, ensuring operators maintain reliable connectivity even when dismounted or in austere locations. This ensures that our Special Tactics operators can effectively execute their mission across the full spectrum of conflict.
