    Signal operations support noncommissioned officer Sgt. Aaron Ford trains on a GETAC computer, a rugged laptop built for austere conditions, and an AN/PRC-160(V)1 high-frequency manpack radio during the 173rd Airborne Brigade Communicators Academy at Caserma Del Din and Caserma Ederle, Italy, Oct. 14-16, 2025.

    The training brought together signal leaders, communicators, and technical enablers from across the brigade, with participation from Soldiers assigned to U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, and the 509th Signal Battalion. The event focused on enhancing mission command and digital integration across multiple transport layers through a combination of classroom instruction, leader discussions, and hands-on field exercises.

    Training included live Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) node configuration, TAK server management, Starshield connectivity validation, and Mounted Mission Command System (MMCS) dashboard integration.
