As a thought experiment it sounds interesting.

But as the E in PACE for emergency means of wide area communication is it actually viable at scale?

AQ and other illicit networks went old school to avoid detection/destruction.

But do AQ and illicit networks require high velocity information collection, analysis, and dissemination to function effectively?

Even if it’s just the E before the PAC, does it too readily acquiesce to the complete loss of communication spectrum?

One upside, if it were ever seriously considered or practiced, might be the opportunity to put micro management back on the shelf and dust off mission command.

I wonder if quantum or next generation daisy chained line of sight innovations might made pigeons redundant again, outside of the conceptual.
