It is feasible to establish a small footprint sequencing capability to conduct SARS-CoV-2 WGS in a military maritime environment at sea with limited access to reach-back support. This proof-of-concept study has highlighted the potential of deploying such technology in the future to military environments, both maritime and land-based, to provide meaningful clinical data to aid outbreak investigations.
