MAGTF Command and Control prototype deployed to 12th Marine Littoral Regiment

Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, Marine Corps Systems Command’s Science and Technology Reinvention Lab, has deployed its latest Marine Air-Ground Task Force Command and Control Prototype to the 12th Marine Littoral Regiment in Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 8, 2025.
