DTRACS
DTRACS was a tracking and control system used by United States military units in Europe and South West Asia. The system is actually a commercial product from Qualcomm. It's commercial name is OmniTRACS and is in use by commercial trucking fleets throughout the world. Initially, when the system was first in use by the US Army in Europe (USAREUR), it was run through an Alcatel contract out of Paris with a data feed to the USAREUR G4 Logistics Automation Division (LAD).
After it became more heavily used, it was determined that the Army needed it's own secure hub on a military base in Germany. This hub was located in Mannheim, Germnay outside of Coleman Barracks at a location known as the "tank-farm". This location was chosen because it already housed other satellite hubs, one of which was for AFN.
