I was watching on KCAL a story that the Burbank CA Army NG unit was depoying to Louisiana as they replace units in the hurricane area. I came across this piece of comm gear on the CANG website. The State of CA built 7 after 9/11, and 5 of them are in service in Louisiana. I think the coolest thing is that you can link the local comms to Sacramento or the Pentagon via satellite.
