4-70. Command post survivability is vital to mission success and is measured by the capabilities of the threat in the context of the situation. Survivability may be obtained at the price of effectiveness. Depending on the threat, command posts need to remain small and highly mobile—especially at lower echelons. Command posts are easily acquired and targeted when they are concentrated. Considerations for command post survivability include dispersion, size, redundancy, mobility, electronic and thermal signatures, and camouflage and concealment. Additional measures include cover or shielding by terrain features or urban structures. (See ATP 3-37.34 for more information on command post survivability.)
