Rolatube’s unique lightweight mast system is extremely quick to deploy and recover and was first proven in operations in Iraq in 2003, and then in extensive service in Afghanistan throughout the conflict. Rolatube’s lightweight tactical masts clearly demonstrated that low weight, small packed volume and speed of deployment and recovery delivered substantial strategic advantages and gains in operational capability.
