CASE STUDY
OPPORTUNITY
Create state of the art training
and accommodation facilities to
educate and train America’s future
military leaders.
SOLUTION
The Colorado Army National Guard
(CONG) provided a complete HARMAN
Professional solution featuring products
from AMX, JBL and Crown.
COLORADO ARMY NATIONAL GUARD, COLORADO, USA
The Colorado Army National Guard completed the largest construction project in its
history with the opening of the Regional Training Institute and the Training Center
Complex. Located inside Fort Carson in the state of Colorado, these facilities have added
more than 300,000 square feet of state-of-the-art training and accommodations. It is
also the first location to provide training for all three components of the Army–National
Guard, active duty, and Army Reserve.
The RTI and TCC buildings are standard setting facilities that are critical for building
efficient and effective leaders who will lead troops in future combat and operations. Part
of what makes the buildings so unique is the new anti-terrorism layout that utilizes the
natural topography, barriers, and restricted access points in a unique design intended
to protect the facility. Equally groundbreaking is the technology incorporated into the
complex. The duration of the project, almost a quarter of a century, presented challenges
in terms of changes in technology, security, and performance standards set by the
military. That’s why the Colorado Army National Guard turned to HARMAN technology to
set the standard for their application.
HARMAN’s AMX products are a proven factor in mission critical government installations.
Leading the way in the industry with JITC testing and approval, a Certificate of
Networthiness for RMS along with support for BYOD and the military’s CAC Cards, AMX
by HARMAN offered a secure and reliable solution to the United States Army. The project
also comprised audio products from the HARMAN Professional division, including JBL
speakers and Crown amplifiers.
The Colorado National Guard’s RTI and TCC facilities are utilized by the Army, as well
as federal and state agencies such as the FBI, local sheriffs and the US Marshals. The
flexibility available through the suite of HARMAN products allows the military to meet the
training demands of each unique unit in classrooms and large meeting room spaces.
“ The JITC certification on the
hardware was a huge deciding
factor as well as the ease and
flexibility RPM was able to
provide us while managing
our cost.”

“This multi-component training facility project was a dream of many of the Army
National Guard senior leaders that began about 25 years ago,” said Todd Smith, Network
Systems Engineer. “AMX’s technology played a large role because it met the security and
performance standards set forth by the military. The JITC certification on the hardware
was a huge deciding factor as well as the ease and flexibility RPM was able to provide
us while managing our cost. And having a Certificate of Networthiness for RMS along
with support for BYOD and the military’s CAC cards, allowed us to deliver a secure and
reliable solution.”
