The US Military has a number of scenarios that look like this. A few things I would think about:
--> How long will this mobile unit be disconnected? You may need to increase tombstone lifetime. --> Can you identify the users, computers, and service accounts who will use this machine? If so, consider deploying an RODC and precaching their passwords. --> How large is your domain? What kind of change volume do you see? What kind of field connectivity will the van have?

We have a group that we work with that has a van that responds to oil spills throughout the state. They have a server onboard, that they want configured as a DC for their domain, so that users in the van can login to the network, and connect to network resources, both in the van, and back at HQ. Has anyone here done this type of configuration?
