- Flexible, mobile
- Integrated with wire facilities
- Communication over impassable terrain
-
Disadvantages:
- Subject to equipment breakdown
- Subject to atmospheric conditions and interference
- Least secure
C. Visual Signal
-
Used to control the actions of small units
-
Over the years, it has been relegated to an auxiliary means of communication
-
Advantages:
- Suitable for short, prearranged messages
- Suitable for short distances
- Simple installation; no bulky equipment required
-
Disadvantages:
- Vulnerable to interception
- Subject to imitative deception
- Dependent on line-of-sight location
D. Sound Signal
-
Primarily used to spread alarms, warning troops of hostile attacks (air, mechanized, or gas)
-
Advantages:
- Transmit short, prearranged messages
- Suitable for short distances
- Independent of line of sight
-
Disadvantages:
- Vulnerable to interception
- Limited by range
- Impacted by battle noises
Fundamentals of Tactical Radio Communication
- Radio Net: group of stations working together in the same frequency
- Call Sign: a combination of pronounceable words to identify a facility or station
Collective Call Sign/Net Call Sign
- Collective Call Sign: identifies two or more stations in a particular radio net, but not all stations in the net
- Net Call Sign: identifies all radio stations operating in a particular radio net
Call
- A method to establish communication where the calling station transmits the identity of itself and the called station.
- Includes Pro words (pronounceable words with assigned meanings)
Radio Communication Codes
- Over: transmission end; response expected
- Roger: message received satisfactorily
- Out: transmission end; no response expected
- Wilco : instructions complied with
- Query: clarification request
- Lima Charlie: message loud and clear
- Say again: did not understand transmission; request repeat
- Request Net with: request to talk with a specific person
- Wait one: request a minute to contact
- Other codes include Read Back and Radio Silence
Phonetic Alphabet
- Used to identify letters and abbreviations for clear communication
Numerical Pronunciation
- Includes specific numbers and their phonetic equivalents
International Morse Code
- A system of communication using dots and dashes
Basic Intelligence
- Lesson objectives outline:
- Define intelligence and counter-intelligence
- Enumerate the four phases of the intelligence cycle
- State planning phase considerations
- Enumerate recording tools
- Differentiate evaluation criteria
Introduction to Military Intelligence
- Military intelligence is crucial to war planning and peacetime policies for future contingencies
Definition of Terms
- Intelligence: knowledge gained through collection, evaluation, analysis, integration, and interpretation of information about the enemy.
- Counter-Intelligence: measures to safeguard information, personnel, and materials from espionage and sabotage
Intelligence Cycle
- A continuous process, a repetition of past events becoming known, having no beginning or end
Four Phases of the Intelligence Cycle
- Planning or directing the collection effort
- Collecting information
- Processing or producing intelligence
- Disseminating and using resulting intelligence
A. Planning or Direction of the Collection Effort
-
Planning the collection effort is critical to producing intelligence
-
Determining intelligence requirements to support the commander's mission
-
Steps to consider: • Enemy capabilities (strengths affecting mission) • Enemy vulnerabilities (weaknesses and factors that render damage/deception/defeat) • Weather and terrain. • Order of battle • Preventing surprise of the command
B. Collection of Information
-
Involves systematically extracting information from sources
-
Sources of information are categorized as Persons/Things/Detectable enemy activity
-
Sources are generally outside the control of collection agencies, to be identified and used.
C. Processing or Production of Information into Intelligence
-
The process involves recording, evaluating, and interpreting information to create intelligence
-
Tools for recording: • Intelligence Journal • Intelligence Worksheet • Enemy Situation Map
D. Dissemination and Use of Intelligence
- Systematically transmitting information and intelligence to higher, lower, and adjacent units for use
- Criteria for dissemination: • Timeliness • Propriety (sent to correct users, presented for immediate use, distributed via most appropriate communication means) • Adequacy and accuracy
Methods of Dissemination
- Personal contacts (visits, calls, conferences)
- Messages (spot reports)
- Intelligence documents (estimates, summaries, periodic reports, annexes to operation orders)
Basic Survival
- Lesson objectives focus on:
- Stating the acronym for SURVIVAL
- Discussing camp site selection factors
- Explaining food acquisition methods
- Explaining trap, fire, and preservation techniques
- Locating water sources
SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES
- Size up the situation: Assess individual capabilities, surroundings, overall situation, and available supplies.
- Undue haste makes waste: Plan carefully, remain calm, and utilize resources effectively.
- Remember where you are: Plan movements to avoid getting lost or separated from other units; know locations relative to enemy and friendly areas.
- Vanquish fear and panic: Maintain optimistic attitude and accept potential worsening of circumstances.
Improvisation
- Be resourceful and make do with available supplies and materials.
- Improvise shelters using indigenous materials.
Value Living
- Never lose hope and maintain a fighting attitude.
- Conserve health and energy.
- Refuse to give in to problems or obstacles.
- Remain focused on surviving.
Act Like The Natives
- Learn from the indigenous methods and techniques for living in that area.
- Observe daily food preparation patterns: gathering, catching, gathering food.
- Determine the locations to gather water.
Learn Basic Survival Skills
- Develop knowledge from local residents regarding animal catching and shelter-building techniques.
- Use wits to constantly improve chances of survival.
Jungle Survival Techniques
- With training and determination, you can overcome obstacles in jungle environments
- This includes handling stress, anxiety, physical challenges such as pain, cold, thirst, hunger, isolation, etc
Locating Sources of Water
- Water is essential in survival situations and can impact efficiency in hot or cold climates.
- Methods: purify contaminated water (boiling/iodine), collect rainwater, locate wells, and construct survival water stills.
Building Shelters
- Shelters are needed for protection from nature and enemy observation
- Factors to consider: time and effort needed, adequacy of protection, and availability of materials
Building Fire
- Benefits of fire: warmth, dryness, cooking, water purification, signal
- Site selection factors: terrain, climate, equipment, available time, enemy proximity
Ways of Building Fire
-
Three primary methods: • Tepee method (tinder in cone shape, logs fall inward, works on wet wood) • Lean-to method (green stick at an angle, tinder inside) • Cross-ditch method (cross-shaped pit in ground, tinder in center, kindling pyramid)
-
Planning is key to successful fire-building.
