Line 1: The '''United States ~~Army’s~~Army's Movement Tracking System''' (MTS) is a logistics communication platform under the Program Executive Office (PEO) for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS). It is designed for commanders to track assets on the battlefield with encrypted text messaging. It is a satellite-based tracking and communicating system designed to provide command and control over distributed assets supporting and conducting theater operations. <blockquote>This system provides units with digital [[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]] maps, global positioning system ([[GPS]]) ___location data, and [[L-band]] (long band) satellite two-way text messaging. Line 7: [[File:SSGCrawley.jpg\|thumb\|200px\|SSG Gary Crawley, 1-12 FA, operates an MTS mobile station mounted in his vehicle in Iraq.]] [[File:SGTbennett.jpg\|thumb\|200px\|SGT Jeremy Bennett, 1-12 FA, operates an MTS control station in the battery administrative and ~~logisics~~logistics center in Iraq.]] MTS can operate anywhere in the world giving over-the-horizon communications to vehicles on the move. Messages are transmitted via commercial satellites in near real-time and vehicle locations are displayed on computers with NGA maps. All messages are encrypted end-to-end, including sender and recipient addresses for information security purposes. MTS operates over a variety of [geostationary satellites] and is designed to transition automatically from one satellite system to another, as required.
