History
The Riverine Command Boat (RCB) was developed by the United States Navy to support riverine warfare and coastal security operations in shallow inland waterways. Introduced as part of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command's Riverine Force, the RCB was designed to provide command-and-control capabilities while coordinating multiple patrol boats during tactical missions. Built with a durable aluminum hull and equipped with advanced communications and navigation systems, the vessel serves as the operational headquarters for riverine units conducting security patrols, reconnaissance, convoy escort, and force protection.

Since entering service, the Riverine Command Boat has supported numerous maritime security operations in the Middle East and other strategic regions where rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters play a critical role in military operations. The vessel combines high maneuverability with advanced command systems, allowing commanders to coordinate multiple assets in real time while maintaining situational awareness. Its ability to operate in confined waterways has made the RCB an essential component of modern riverine warfare, extending the Navy's operational reach far beyond traditional blue-water environments.
