    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • By 2028, a world-class Army is envisioned as a source of national pride.
    • The document focuses on Basic Signal Communication.
    • The key words are Honor, Patriotism, and Duty.

    Basic Signal Communication

    • This is a method or combination of methods to convey information between people or locations without direct conversation.

    Means of Communication

    • Wire: This includes all equipment utilized for laying and recovering wire, battery-operated telephones, switchboards, and teletype equipment when authorized.
    • Radio: This method is the fastest way to communicate, is highly mobile and flexible, and doesn't need physical circuits. This makes it advantageous.
    • Messenger: This is a preferred means of communication when transmitting maps and classified documents to other units, though it is often not the quickest method.
    • Visual Signal: This encompasses signals received by the eye, like flags, signal flares, and smoke signals.
    • Sound Signal: This method uses sounds like whistles, bugles, horns, and weapons to spread alarms during hostile attacks.

    Radio Capabilities

    • Radio communication is faster than other methods.
    • Radio equipment is ready for use once mounted on vehicles and can be used both mobile and stationary.
    • Radio communications can cover distances through a relay circuit.

    Radio Limitations

    • Radios can have equipment breakdowns.
    • Radios are susceptible to interference.
    • Radio is the least secure means of communication, often subject to interception.

    Tactical Applications

    • Main units moving or operating require radio silence.
    • Transmit only when necessary for emergencies.

    Advantages of Radio

    • Easy to install compared to wire or other communication methods.
    • Mobile and flexible, doesn't require fixed circuits.
    • Can be used across difficult terrain.

    Disadvantages of Radio

    • Least secure method of communication due to potential interception.
    • Subject to interference, especially from precipitation or jamming.

    Radio Telephone Procedures

    • Messages should be clear, complete, and concise.
    • Speakers should enunciate clearly and slowly, using natural phrases.
    • Allow time for the receiving operator to write or understand a message.
    • Avoid interfering transmissions from other stations; assume the enemy is listening.

    Types of Tactical Radio Sets

    • RF-5800H Man Pack: Frequency Modulated (FM) signals.
    • Harris RF 5800V-HH VHF Handheld: Frequency Modulated (FM) for VHF communications.

    Fundamentals of Tactical Radio Communication

    • Individual Call Sign: Identifies a single call for any station in the network.
    • Collective Call Sign: Identifies two or more stations in a particular network, but not necessarily all.

    Prowords (Communication Terms)

    • List of radio communication terms for clear communication.

    Guidelines for Transmission

    • Write the message before transmitting.
    • Listen before speaking to avoid interrupting others.
    • Clearly pronounce words in a normal tone (normal tone of voice).
    • Release the push-to-talk button immediately after transmitting.

    Phonetic Alphabet

    • List of letters and their phonetic pronunciations.

    Phonetic Numerals

    • List of numerals and their phonetic pronunciations

    Radio Net Diagrams

    • Two diagrams (open net and directed net) explaining network configurations among military stations using different radio communication procedures.

    Check on Learning

    • Questions designed to assess understanding of Signal Communication.

    Summary

    • Signal Communication is a method to convey messages without direct conversation.
    • It uses various methods like, wire, radio, messengers, visual signals, and sound signals.
    • Radios have advantages like speed and flexibility, but drawbacks like security concerns and susceptibility to interference.
    • Procedures and guidelines should be followed in radio communications to ensure clear communication without interfering with others.

    Assessment

    • Questions to assess the learners' understanding of Signal Communication including its functions, importance to military organizations, characteristics, uses, advantages/disadvantages and tactical applications.
