Moving laptops from one network to another

I administer a network on a classified military installation. We have a
number of laptops in a command center operating on one network. During an
exercise, when they get ‘bombed,’ they have to move to an alternate location
and, of course, another network. Is there any way to allow this move to
happen with zero user intervention? The switches that we have in the
alternate location do not allow routing, according to our network guy. We
have toyed around with multiple IP address on a single NIC but haven’t had
much luck with that. Any help would be appreciated.

if you have a static network that will no longer need to be routed
("bombed") you could add a secondary network to the second site
(eg on a cisco router that would be
ip address a.b.c.d 255.255.255.0 secondary
for the local interface)
you may have to fiddle some of the routes after that
 
What is it about the "second network" that doesn't work. Using static
addressing already eliminates half the problem to begin with, assuming these
address function on the second network.
