There is also a vehicle for secure connections between the U.S. President and the U.S. military command, which is provided by the White House Communications Agency (WHCA). Here is its deployment from 1975 to today.

The first portable satellite terminals arrived in 1975. The CCTs (Communications Contingency Teams) under the WHCA were teams that ensured the authority of the US President's National Command and the continuity of government at the height of the Cold War.

It was really in the early 1980s that these portable satellite terminals were used in communication vehicles, the "ROADRUNNER", and now follow the American President on all his domestic and international trips.

It was first in a motor home that the communication systems called "COYOTE" were installed. This one could embark in a military transport plane. It was deployed in emergency situations. In 1983, the CCT teams were renamed to CST for "Communication Support Team".

The vans were very often camping cars at their beginning because of the size of the communication devices and remained very often immobile. The miniaturization of the means of communication was made progressively. Thereafter, it was civil vans rented to rental companies without flashing light nor siren. Later, the vehicles were prepared and kept by the WHCA.

In 1986, the first "ROADRUNNER" became part of the presidential motorcade. The purpose of the "ROADRUNNER" was to have a vehicle that would follow the presidential motorcade at all times to communicate with Washington and the Armed Command Centers.

During the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., the CSTs demonstrated the usefulness of this service in the event of a major crisis to ensure continuity of command for the U.S. President with his armed forces while he is away.

The internet was also a major challenge as all communications had to be encrypted and transferred to the President's phone during the movement of the convoy

For 2018, a new "ROADRUNNER" has arrived. It is a six-door Ford F350 Super Duty. The president is always in contact with the Pentagon and his government with encrypted means whether it be internet, video, telephone, and all via a constellation of communications satellites.

This makes it a highly secure rolling router and would allow a nuclear strike to be launched from CADILLAC ONE. It is also equipped with radiofrequency, electromagnetic and thermal countermeasures.
