Advanced Command Force
Community Disaster Response.
Done Different.
We believe in empowering community members to take care of their own- and this means offering the tools and know how. As a disaster response non profit, we are offering rural and off-grid disaster incident command support, and were doing it out of a school bus.
Chris has made leaps and bounds of progress on the renovation of what will soon be "Storm 1", the first mobile disaster communications and incident management command center. Thank you to Will from our team who donated time!
Our goal is to complete Storm 1 in 5 weeks, so we can start training with our local resources, or state resources to be best prepared for emergencies and disasters.
So far, our fleet consists of this school bus, a trailer which will be a secondary command center, a watercraft, drone, UTV, and a mobile command center in the ACF parking lot. StormLink 1 was our first piece of equipment to help in a disaster, our repeater trailer. It performed flawlessly after a 2 day speed-run build out.
The design of our disaster response vehicle must endure brutal conditions, and never effect the people inside working diligently to make critical decisions. The integration of mobility while preventing heuristic traps in the interior design as compared to most available models of disaster response vehicles allows us to offer long range deployments. Storm 1 can sit in the direct sunlight of South Texas and encounter no issues or require no maintenance while being used.
While on our deployment to Kerrville for the Guadalupe River Flash Flooding at the beginning of July (2025), we remained fluid and allowed ourselves as a team to consistently evaluate what was working- and what wasn't. This way of thinking brought us the opportunity to make real time changes in our new operation that met the need of the disaster we were at. While the 'why' if for the victims, the 'how' is achieved by recognizing that even after the weather event or other disaster creating force is complete, there can still be many points where change happens that prompts change from the responders.
Chris configured the star link system addition, as well as the tower build in 2 days-mid deployment. This is about meeting our search and rescue operations where they were at- in a river bed with no communications. We fixed that, and allowed everyone to safely complete the deployment and return home, after achieving our deployment goals. This was made possible by the ingenuity we bring to the capability gaps.
We have our work cut out for us.
This is "Storm One" Our mobile command center and communications hub. It's designed to support off grid disaster operations in any harsh weather we experience, and will be ready this Fall.
At Advanced Command Force, we understand that disaster doesn’t wait for convenience—and neither do we. Our state-of-the-art Mobile Command Center is built to meet the urgent needs of rural and off-grid communities often left behind in crisis response. Fully self-sustaining and rapidly deployable, this mobile unit empowers our team to establish communications, coordinate resources, and take command in the heart of any disaster zone.
Our command center is equipped with a GPS-tracked radio system to ensure secure, real-time communication across wide areas, even when cell towers are down. For rural regions where severe weather strikes without warning, we can echo storm sirens into remote zones, closing a deadly gap in early alert systems. Inside the unit, a fully integrated smart board and dispatch station allow our team to manage incident command with clarity and coordination, ensuring no call for help goes unheard.
Designed with 360-degree visibility and an advanced exterior lighting package, including powerful scene lighting, our command center operates day or night in the most demanding terrain. Powered by both generator and solar energy, with temperature control to protect sensitive equipment and personnel, the unit is ready to go wherever the mission demands. It includes a microwave, refrigerator, and durable countertop space—supporting responders for extended operations. Custom-built desks and workspaces ensure functionality meets field-readiness.
Towable by any full-size truck, this command unit is not bound to a city grid or urban infrastructure. It was purpose-built for the hard-to-reach, often-overlooked areas where support can’t afford to be delayed. From wildfires to hurricanes, floods to missing persons, Advanced Command Force stands ready with the mobile capabilities to support any size disaster and close the critical gaps in rural and remote emergency response.
