Those questions and more can be answered from a diversity of news sources. I suppose the New York Times documentary has the most amount of video; the problem is too much video. But, for reference, the command tent is in a video posted by the President’s son. The distributor of burner phones is part of the FBI investigation, not sure how directly she worked with the White House. Of the 700 people arrested, only 40 have been charged with conspiracy; those are overwhelmingly members of groups with manifestos. Hope that helps

I found some recent videos that do in fact cover more details and it's actually quite a bit worse than you describe. There are no burner phones or command tents it seems, or at least that is not a significant part of how these people coordinate anything. These people are using social media and public podcasts to coordinate their actions. No manifesto, public podcasts. In fact they have been monitored extensively and followed for quite a while leading up to this. [1] Several militia groups and white supremacist groups had been planning this for a while and reporters had been working with social media companies to use machine learning to know who would be where, armed with what and what they intended to do. The only part they got wrong was the clothing. This time the one militia that usually wear Hawaiian shirts went in plain clothes but were spotted instantly either way. The most concerning part of this to me is that as far as I can tell the incident on the 6th was simply allowed to happen. They only had a handful of state police in standard gear even knowing there would be a mob coming their way with militia members mixed in. There is an interview with the federal prosecutor [2] that towards the end says there could be a case and it could go that way meaning the more serious charges but sounds more like he wants to go back to being the DA in Miami. Maybe he will hand this off to the next federal prosecutor?
