This paper builds on an AREDN paper submitted by the author and published in the proceedings of the ARRL and TAPR 34th Digital Communications Conference 2015. Where that paper introduced the technology and the work of the AREDN Project software development team, this paper picks up where that leaves off and describes techniques for deploying AREDN in support of AUXCOM. Breaking the network down into layers: strategic fixed locations, tactical deployments, and disaster-specific end-points; the author lays out straightforward implementation techniques which ensure multi-megabit connectivity between deployed teams and their central command and control. Over the past 2 years, the AREDN Project has changed the complexion of High-Speed Multimedia (HSMM) from an experimental, hobby-oriented, novelty into a viable network technology suitable for restoring data network connectivity "when all else fails."
