The US Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC) World Wide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) Crisis Action Team (CAT) Guard (WCG) system provides a multilevel secure electronic interface between AMC´s Top Secret System High Command and Control Information System and AMC´s Secret System High CAT Global Decision Support System. The functional capabilities of the AMC WCG are summarized. Its unique features are cited, and its current implementation status is described. A guard mediates and controls the flow of information between systems operating at different security levels
