Safety Level: Low

Conditions:

The corps receives an order from higher headquarters or the commander derives a mission to react to suspected jamming or
communication compromise. The commander provides guidance on reacting to jamming or suspected communications in a dynamic and
complex operational environment. Hybrid threat(s) contest the unit's objectives in all five domains (air, land, sea, space, and
cyberspace), the information environment, and the electromagnetic spectrum. All eight operational variables of PMESII-PT are
present and dynamic. The order from higher headquarters includes all applicable overlays and or graphics, area of operation (AO)
boundaries, control measures, and criteria for subsequent tactical actions. The command has communications with subordinate units,
adjacent units, and higher headquarters. The commander has organized the four components of the command and control system to
support decision making, facilitate communication, and conduct operations.

Note: Conduct the drill using the mission partner network (MPN) for foreign-partner information-sharing or conduct the operation as if
foreign partners are on the network, realistically portraying an environment where the Army will likely conduct operations in a
combined theater. Produces orders, estimates and other staff products on the SECRET//RELEASABLE (S//REL) network while
retaining non-releasable or not releasable to foreign nationals (NOFORN) information on the secret internet protocol router network
(SIPRNET). Deployed units regularly operate mission-specific multinational information networks, and the Army will soon migrate most
operations and training to the Releasable-Persistent Training Environment (R-PTE).

Environment: Some iterations of this drill should be performed with degraded command and control networks, degraded conditions in
the electromagnetic spectrum, and/or degraded, denied, and disrupted space operations environment (D3SOE).

Standard MOPP 4 conditions do not exist for this task. See the MOPP 4 statement for specific conditions.

The corps react to suspected jamming or communications compromise following commander's guidance and standard operating
procedures. The staff takes appropriate steps to resolve problems at the local level and to protect mission command systems. The
corps maintains continuous communications throughout operations. The staff react to suspected jamming or communications
commitment with 100 percent adherence to established timelines, higher headquarters commander's intent, the Army Ethic, ATP 3-
12.3, and standard operating procedure (SOP), while adhering to the GO / NO-GO criteria without mistake.

Drill Statements:

DANGER
Leaders have an inherent responsibility to conduct risk management to ensure the safety of all Soldiers and
promote mission accomplishment.

WARNING
Risk management is the Army's primary decision-making process to identify hazards, reduce risk, and
prevent both accidental and tactical loss. All Soldiers have the responsibility to learn and understand the risks
associated with this task.

CAUTION
Identifying hazards and controlling risks across the full spectrum of Army functions, operations, and activities
is the responsibility of all Soldiers.

Safety: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with current Risk Management Doctrine.
Leaders will complete the current Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet in accordance with the TRADOC Safety Officer during the
planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-
time available and civil considerations, ( METT-TC). Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for
potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat
related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW current CBRN doctrine. Refer to GTA
05-08-012 INDIVIDUAL SAFETY CARD.

Environment: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continuous process and starts with deliberate
planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the
sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to the current
Environmental Considerations manual and the current GTA Environmental-related Risk Assessment card. Refer to GTA 05-08-002
ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.

Cue: The staff identifies jamming or loses communications with other headquarters on a network and react to suspected jamming or
communications compromise.

TASK STEPS
1. The corps' operators identify electromagnetic interference (EMI).

2. The corps' operators determine if the electromagnetic interference is obvious or subtle jamming.

3. The corps' operators recognize jamming and electromagnetic interference.

to. Determines whether electromagnetic interference is internal or external to the radio.

(1) Performs equipment troubleshooting in technical manual for the equipment (verify frequency, cable, and antenna
connections, communications security devices).

(2) Determine start and stop times or duration of EMI.

(3) Identifies EMI effect (interfering voice, noise, static).

(4) Identifies other emitters in area.

(5) Communicates with nearby operators for similar problems.

(6) Reports EMI to G-6.

b. Determines whether electromagnetic interference is jamming or unintentional.

c. The G-6 reports jamming and electromagnetic interference incidents using the joint spectrum interference resolution report-
online (JSIR-Online) on the secret internet protocol router network (SIPRNet), or manually using the JSIR format found in Appendix D
of ATP 3-12.3 , electronic warfare techniques.

4. The staff overcomes jamming and electromagnetic interference.

• Continues to operate.
• Improves the signal-to-jamming ratio. •
Adjusts the receiver. •
Increases the transmitter power output. •
Adjusts or changes the antenna. •
Establishes a RETRANS station. •
Relocate the antenna. •
Uses an alternate path for communications. •
Changes the frequencies. •
Acquire another satellite. •
Ensures timely downloading and installing software upgrades. •
Uses directional antennas (omnidirectional, bi-directional, and unidirectional.

5. Once the interference is overcome, the staff summarizes employment of defensive measures used to protect friendly systems
from enemy EW
activities. • Careful siting of radio
equipment. • Employment of directional
antennas. • Uses lowest power
required. • Stays off the air unless absolutely
necessary. • Employs a random schedule if
one is used. • Employs proper radio techniques and continues operation.

Talk:

a.Orientation: The objective of this drill is to react to jamming or suspected communications compromise without degradation to the
mission.

b.Safety: Emphasize that following the SOP and EW protocols are critical for preventing compromise of the system.

c.Demonstration: Have the staff conduct a rehearsal of concept of the SOP.

d.Explanation: Refer to the performance measures and explain what each member of the staff must do to react to jamming or
suspected communications compromise.

e.Unit Instructions: The staff is coordinating current operations and receives a report of jamming or suspected communications
compromise.

Walking:

1. Refer to the performance measures and have staff members perform their step slowly at first as the leader talks them through the
process.
2. Continue to rehear, increase speed of execution each iteration.

Run:

a.Run-Through Instructions: The staff should practice this drill until they can perform the drill according to the standards and
