Mobile Observation Operations Command Housing.
The M.O.O.C.H. has been an idea that started practically as soon as ILCHASE formed in late 2000. We have been developing mission roles and technology for the M.O.O.C.H. since 2006. Starting in late 2009 we acquired a decommissioned Ford Command vehicle.
This vehicle has been equipped with the latest technology to become a mobile command vehicle to support personnel in the field with real time data.
