  Command
  3-77. Through the satellite control battalion, the Army exercises operational control responsibilities for the
  WSOCs. The Wideband Consolidated SATCOM System Expert provides technical direction and the RSSCs
  develop configuration plans for the communications payloads executed by the WSOCs.
  3-78. The WSOCs are geographically dispersed and provide continuous, 24-hour coverage of all assigned
  satellites through local and remote monitoring and control equipment. Each company of the satellite control
  battalion is strategically positioned and has access to remote monitoring and control equipment at select
  gateway sites to provide command and control for military wideband satellites. Figure 3-4 provides an
  illustration of the battalion’s mission, which includes transmission control, payload control, and assured
  access to resources.
