The mission of the Air and Missile Defense Commander's (AMDC) and Primary Alternates is to conduct sustained combat operations independently and as the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Commander for Carrier Strike Group One.

JRE answers the call, delivering visual, text, and digital commands over multiple Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) networks with very low latency. JRE is highly platform-independent, and it can function as a software-only gateway solution or run on a selection of provided imaged hardware platforms that are cybersecurity tested and approved.
