Common operating picture

See your people clearly, anywhere they are.

Rapid Recall’s Common Operating Picture (COP) gives leaders real-time visibility of their personnel across home, work, drill sites, stations, travel, temporary assignments, and any other addresses the organization maintains.

What is Rapid Recall's COP?

Rapid Recall’s COP is a real-time map and list view that shows where your people are located based on any address your organization has on record.

Unlike legacy mapping tools or manual roster spreadsheets, the COP:

  • Updates instantly
  • Supports multiple address types
  • Works across desktops and mobile devices
  • Reflects only organizationally approved data
  • Enables filtering by roles, units, skills, locations, and custom fields
  • Supports drill weekend, duty, staffing, and emergency workflows

This makes it an operational tool — not a surveillance tool.

What the COP Helps You Do

Understand your formation, department, or workforce at a glance

The COP provides a single source of truth for personnel visibility — from platoon to company to battalion, from station to shift, or from office to region. Use it for:

  • Daily readiness
  • Staffing and shift planning
  • Drill weekend coordination
  • Multi-office visibility
  • Station coverage
  • Cross-unit situational awareness

Identify who might be affected by real-world incidents

When storms, wildfires, floods, or other hazards occur, leaders can quickly see whose homes, families, or duty locations might be impacted.

The COP becomes even more powerful when combined with WatchTower, which surfaces official hazard data.

Improve accountability during musters, recalls, and emergencies

Track real-time responses from Events or Rapid Dial while viewing where personnel are likely located. This reduces uncertainty during:

  • Recalls
  • Storm preparation
  • Activation events
  • Multi-alarm incidents
  • Regional disruptions
  • Campus or corporate emergencies

Support multi-unit and multi-agency coordination

The COP helps visualize:

  • Military echelons
  • Fire/EMS stations
  • Law enforcement shifts and zones
  • Corporate office locations
  • Mutual aid partners
  • Joint operations

Filter personnel instantly

Use dynamic filters to view:

  • Rank or role
  • Station or unit
  • Custom fields (skills, certifications, equipment, etc.)
  • Status from current Events
  • Address type (home, work, drill, travel, temporary)

This turns a map and list into a decision-making tool.

Security & Data Protection

Rapid Recall’s COP displays only location data that your organization already maintains (e.g., home address, duty station, drill location, etc.).

There is no background tracking, no GPS monitoring, and no passive location collection unless Beacon is enabled and explicitly approved by the user. Built on AWS GovCloud with a SOC2-aligned posture and designed for operational but non-sensitive PII, the COP requires no ATO for normal use.

Questions? We have answers.

What is a Common Operating Picture (COP) in Rapid Recall?

It’s a real-time map and list showing where personnel are located based on organizationally maintained addresses.

Does the COP track live GPS?

No. The COP uses only the addresses your organization provides — not background tracking.

Can the COP support multiple address types?

Yes. Home, work, drill site, travel, temporary assignments, hometown, and more.

Does the COP integrate with incident data?

Yes. When used with WatchTower, it highlights personnel near official hazard data.

Does Rapid Recall require a DoD Authority to Operate (ATO)?

No. Rapid Recall is a SOC 2 Type II–aligned commercial SaaS platform hosted in FedRAMP-authorized cloud infrastructure. It operates outside the DoD Information Network (DoDIN) and can be used to handle only non-CUI contact and coordination data. As an external commercial service and not a DoD information system, it is not subject to the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF) under DoDI 8510.01 and does not require an Authority to Operate (ATO).

Who can use the COP?

Military leaders, fire/EMS, law enforcement, corporate crisis teams, and distributed organizations.
