The Region Six Communication Unit (SMAT 6) provides voice and information technology communication support for the mobile field hospital enabling the medical teams and support staff to provide patient care in an efficient and timely manner.

MATRAC Communication Unit is comprised of communication unit leaders (COM-L) communication technicians (COM-T) radio operators (RADO) radio operators aviation (RADO-A) & incident communications center managers (ICC-M).

Each of our communication unit personnel strive to give the best possible communication support available in any given situation. MATRAC is fortunate to have 100 years of combined communication experience. Our communication team members involve themselves in everything from setting up remote repeater sites, to deploying laptop computers and local area networks to support report generation and activities as deemed by the command staff. Our communication unit personnel are capable of establishing an efficient dispatch center much like a 911 center used in our country every day.

MATRAC communication unit personnel work with similar personnel from other SMAT teams across the state as well as personnel from across the country to interface efficiently and effectively on any given deployment or situation.
