How fast can we realistically go live with BaseConnect for our QRF?

In most cases, we can stand up a functioning environment within 24 hours once we have your roster and unit structure. Your QRF can be running drills or test alerts within days, not weeks.

Do troops have to download the mobile app to be part of the QRF?

No. BaseConnect supports mobile app, SMS, email, and desktop web access. The app offers the best experience, but your QRF is fully operational even if members only use text or email.

Can BaseConnect mirror our existing chain of command?

Yes. BaseConnect is built around your Guard hierarchy — down to brigade, battalion, company, and platoon levels — so mobilization messages can be targeted precisely.

What happens after our QRF is operational?

BaseConnect can continue supporting the QRF or expand across the state Guard. The team will help administrators plan the unit structure, onboarding, exercises, and long-term communication workflow.

Is this only for the designated QRF or can we use it for the whole Guard?

The launch offer covers up to 500 personnel in your designated QRF, but we expect many states will choose to expand usage across other Guard units after seeing the results.

Meet the new quick reaction force requirement from Secretary Hegseth with a secure, statewide communications platform built for National Guard readiness, accountability, and rapid recall.

NATIONAL GUARD QRF DIRECTIVE

Your State Has Hours to Respond. Your Communications Can’t Take Days to Stand Up.

The new quick reaction force requirement from Secretary Hegseth directs every state to maintain Guard units capable of deploying within hours for civil unrest and domestic emergencies.

That level of readiness demands more than spreadsheets, ad-hoc texts, and unsecured group chats. It requires a standardized, secure communications platform that can:
• Activate your QRF in minutes
• Provide real-time accountability to the Adjutant General
• Keep commanders, staff, and troops aligned as the situation evolves

Here’s what a real-world QRF activation can look like using BaseConnect.

STEP 1

Your QRF roster is imported or built, members are verified, and units are organized according to your existing chain of command. BaseConnect mirrors your structure so leaders can communicate by unit, role, or custom group.

STEP 2

A secure mobilization alert goes out through BaseConnect to all QRF personnel via app, SMS, email, and web. Within seconds, leadership begins seeing read receipts and acknowledgments.

STEP 3

Commanders/admins monitor acknowledgments, follow up with non-responders, and re-task as needed. Real-time dashboards show readiness percentages and potential gaps.

STEP 4

The Adjutant General and JOC staff see status and real-time updates through the situational feed, while non-urgent changes (routes, staging areas, logistics) are pushed via secure announcements.
