Instructional Guidance/
Conduct of Lesson
NOTE: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by studying this
lesson and identified reference material.
The Primary Instructor for this lesson should prepare well in advance. The PI should review all references, examine all
student materials; examine, and practice using all training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations associated with the
conduct of training under this lesson plan before conducting the training.
Inform the Soldiers that the terminology contained in the document may not exactly represent the current
terms/functions with how the Army is operating today. Many terms (not the mission/tasks) have changed within the last
year or two; however, the manuals are the latest we have in the system. Also, ask if there is anyone in class who has
the insight on the current terms/procedures please interject their knowledge as to assist with keeping the information
current and relevant.
Contemporary Operating Environment (COE)--The military is forever changing, as leaders we must be able to perform
under any condition and in any area around the world. Knowing or having a basic idea of what to expect based on the
COE better prepares you as a leader to meet the challenges you will be faced with during time of war.
When giving the lesson the instructor will offer various scenarios that represent the contemporary operational
environment of places the military is deployed all over the world. In doing so the 8 variables of PMESII-PT listed below
must all be considered.
The 8 variables of PMESII-PT:
Political: The political structure is an overview of formal and informal organizations. Other factors -- such as treaties,
international law, the capability adversary propaganda to influence US public support and world opinion - are also
addressed.
Military: The military factor looks at essential aspects of the security environment such as armed forces, security forces,
insurgent groups, paramilitary organizations, and criminal groups.
Economic: Economic factors look at the formal economy, including production, distribution, consumption, labor force,
and trade.
Social: The social structure is an overlay of identity and affinity groups.
Information: Information addresses the ability to influence groups or populations through direct or indirect action.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure system is more than just a collection of physical assets.
Physical Environment: JP 3-0 defines the physical environment by the dimensions of land, sea, air and space. Humans
live, breathe, and walk in the physical environment, and they see, hear, and touch objects that are
real.
Time: Time is a significant consideration in military operations. The analysis of time is an operational variable focuses
on the benefits and liabilities of duration of operations to each side.
Information can come from CALL (Center for Lesson plans Learned) http://call.army.mil or any media source including
newspaper/magazine articles, television/radio information, law enforcement/field training circulars, etc. and should be
current and relevant to the training. Do not violate any copyright or reproduction laws. Instructors that have served in a
hostile or combat environment should incorporate into training lesson plans learned."
Note: If available, Individual Body Armor can be used to enhance the realism of this training. Weapons immersion
training can also be conducted during this and other lessons. Tactical bivouacs may be conducted during this lesson,
Squad Tactical Training and other lessons.

Basic Military Communications
a. Transition. The most important asset of any organization is effective communications. You will
become familiar with the importance of effective communications in the military and the aspects that
make communications in the military unique among all organizations.
b. Effective Communication: Perhaps the issue that is raised most frequently in relation to
multinational cooperation is language. Communication is the cornerstone of effective teamwork. A
clear challenge to effective communication in multinational forces relates to spoken and written
language. Effective communication involves more than just the giving of information or instructions.
McIntyre and Salas (1995) stress that in order to communicate effectively, the ‘sender’ should ensure
that his or her message is received in full and understood by the intended ‘receiver’. In order for this
to occur, the receiver should demonstrate to the sender whether the message has or has not been
understood. These principles are true of all communications, including face to face conversation,
telephone calls, e-mails, and letters. McIntyre and Salas refer to this process as ‘closed loop
communication’.

Show Slide #5
a. Radio Communication.
(1) Radios are a frequently used means of communications. Radios are particularly suited for use
when you are on the move, over water, over enemy positions and have a need of maintaining
command and control. Small hand held or backpacked radios that communicate for only short
distances are found at squad and platoon level. As the need grows to talk over greater distances and
to more units, the size and complexity of radios are increased.
(2) To put these radios to good use, you must first look at some of the things that affect radio
communications. To communicate with each other, radios must have a common frequency. They
9
UNCLASSIFIED//CAC-T//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
must also be able to transmit and receive the same type of signal. Most infantry radios are FM
(Frequency Modulated) and will not communicate with AM (Amplitude Modulated) radios. Squelch
settings on the radios must also be used correctly.
(3) Factors that affect the range of the radio equipment are weather, terrain, antenna, power, and the
location of the radio. Trying to communicate near man-made objects such as bridges and buildings
may also affect radio transmissions. Interference in the form of static often occurs when you use
radios near power lines or electrical generators. Interference may also come from other radio
stations, bad weather, or enemy jamming.
(4) Non-secure (not scrambled and not frequency hopping [single channel]) radio is one of the least
secure means of communicating. Each time you talk over a radio, your voice signal travels in all
directions. The enemy can listen to your radio transmissions while you are communicating with
other friendly radio stations.
Show Slide #6
b. Visual Signals. Visual signals include arm-and-hand signals, pyrotechnics, smoke, flashing lights,
panel markers, and aircraft maneuvers. Standard meanings are assigned to visual signals so that the
soldier sending the signal and the one receiving it both understand it. Visual signals have some
shortcomings that limit their use. For example, visual signals can be easily misunderstood. Some
visual signals are restricted during poor visibility such as at night or in dense terrain. Of course, at
other times they can be intercepted by the enemy who may, in turn, use similar visual signals to
create confusion.
c. Sound Communications. Sound signals, like visual signals, depend upon a set of prearranged
meanings. Sound signals include the use of the voice, whistles, horns, weapons, and other noisemaking devices to transmit simple messages over short distances. Also, like visual signals, sound
signals are vulnerable to enemy interception and use. Battlefield noises also interfere with the use of
sound signals.
d. Wire Communications. Wire is another type of communications used in units. Although installing
a wire network takes more time than installing a radio, wire lines are usually more secure than radio.
When you talk over wire lines, your voice travels through the wire lines from one telephone to
another and is generally not sent through the air. Wire lines will give better communications in most
cases because they are less subject to interference from weather, terrain, and man-made obstacles.
Wire lines also protect you from enemy electronic warfare actions such as jamming. However, wire
lines are subject to breakage by enemy artillery, air strikes, and by friendly forces who accidentally
cut the lines when driving over them with tracked and wheeled vehicles.
e. Messenger. Unlike other communications, messengers are a means of transmitting large maps,
documents, and bulk material, as well as oral or written messages. Messenger service may be
limited, however, because messengers are subject to enemy action, require more time than radio or
wire communications.

a. Transition.
(1) The U. S. Army has a multitude of radios. At this time you will be introduced to the newest
member of the Armys family of radios called SINCGARS (ICOM/NON-ICOM). SINCGARS means
Single Channel Ground-Airborne Radio System. "ICOM“ means Integrated Communications
Security; "NON-ICOM“ means Non-Integrated Communications Security. The system you will see is
the ground version. There is another model used in aircraft.
(2) Before we can begin pushing buttons and turning knobs, we need to know where the buttons and
knobs are located and what positions are important to properly install and operate this radio system.
Correct procedures will help to avoid damaging this expensive piece of equipment. With this in mind,
let’s begin with identifying the controls we will be working with today. There will be several switch
positions, settings, connectors, and buttons that will not be explained in this block of instruction;
they are beyond the scope of this familiarization class on single channel operations. This radio
system has several capabilities that will not be demonstrated today.

Function Control Positions and Uses.
POSITION PURPOSE
OFF All power is shut off; all stored date (COMSEC, FH, sync time, and manpack battery life
indicator) are deleted after 5 seconds; radio is completely inoperable; position is used when radio is
not in use and for storage. (zero) Clears COMSEC, after 5 seconds clears all FH date; operator
pauses in this position for 5 seconds when setting FCTN switch OFF.
STBY (Stand By) Makes radios inoperative but all stored data is retained; sync time is lost after 200
hours; setting FCTN to SQ ON returns radio to fully operational status. In STBY, power is drawn from
main source.
23
UNCLASSIFIED//CAC-T//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
TST (Test) This position causes self-test of RT date and ECCM circuits; test results are shown in RT
display. Running RT self-test is a routine step in start up procedure.
LD (Load) The load position is required for loading SC frequencies, FH date, and COMSEC keys;
required also to receive an ERE.
SQ ON (Squelch On) This is the normal operating position of the radio for the FH mode. For SC
mode, this position reduces noise.
SQ OFF (Squelch Off) This position is not used for the FH mode. In the SC mode, SQ OFF helps to
bring distant stations, to work through jamming, and to be compatible with radios lacking squelch
capability.
REM (Remote) The REM position disables front panel controls and is required for use to the ControlMonitor, Remote Control Unit (RCU) and HRCRD.
RXMT (Retransmit) Use of the RXMT position enables the RT to automatically re transmit traffic from
one radio through another. Both RTs are set to RXMT position and connected by and RXMT Cable.
