mobile command

Moving control center

Mobile command is a portable operations center that can be deployed to different locations, typically a vehicle equipped with communications and coordination equipment.

Law enforcement, military, and emergency services use mobile command units to manage incidents from the field: The FBI set up mobile command outside the bank.

The term also appears in military contexts for leadership that moves with advancing forces rather than remaining at a fixed headquarters.
