However, copies have become available in the secondhand and collectibles market and given the passage of time and changes in technology, it is believed that there are no current limitations on surviving copies. the Tactical Systems Support Activity is a subordinate command of Marine Corps Systems Command, MCTSSA provides test and evaluation, engineering, and deployed technical support for USMC and joint service command, control, computer, communications, and intelligence systems throughout all acquisition life-cycle phases. Marine Corps leaders saw the need within the Marine Corps for a single focal point for computer driven tactical systems. MCTSSA was founded to support the technology requirements of the C4ISR community. MCTSSA monitored tactical systems development and prepared for transition and fielding to the Operating Forces. Requirements changed as computers grew in memory, power, and downsized. MCTSSA met the evolving C4ISR needs by changing their core competencies, skill sets, size and composition, infrastructure, facility, and organizational structure. In 1970, the Marine Corps took ownership of its first computer based Command and Control (C2) System.
