Defense Basic rule # 7
7) Establish
communications:
LINES OF COMMUNICATION (LoC) a vast network of modern highways,
all-weather roads, railroads, and canals connect built-up areas. These LoCs can
permit rapid access to virtually all areas. Modern four-lane highways, capable
of accommodating thousands of heavy vehicles, crisscross NATO-Europe.
Frequently, these highways bypass the larger cities, or at least avoid the
congested centers of most built-up areas. Limitations; they are often built
across terrain that is relatively impracticable for vehicular traffic and are
heavily dependent on bridges, ramps, overpasses and tunnels. They should not be
used unless suitable bypasses are available.
Note 4th GW; Every
effort should be made to prevent destruction of the local telephone system,
radio and TV stations, police, taxi or other commercial company radio systems
and other communication facilities. They are already in place and there use by
our forces provides immediate access to wire communications with overhead and
buried cable. Local media, such as newspapers, provide communication with the
locals. Wire can be laid while friendly forces are in static positions, but
careful planning is necessary. When running lines and wire for phones they are
laid through walls and floors, berry them use underground systems ditches,
culverts, and tunnels to keep the wire below the streets, or use existing
telephone poles to raise wire lines above the streets. All done to protect
against vehicles and other traffic. Do not run wires directly across fields to
your positions. Antennas should be hidden or blended in with the surroundings.
Locate them among civilian TV antennas, up the side of a chimney, water towers,
steeple, on roof slopes or out a back window away from the enemy observation
and knock holes in walls below rooftop level for directional antennas. Consider
parking radio-equipped vehicles inside buildings dismount radio and install it
inside buildings (in basements); place generators against buildings or under
sheds to increase noise absorption.
(Reference, Step #
3 concepts of operations, Three levels)
Trouble shooting radios; 1) Check function switch no/off. 2) Battery and
power source. 3) Connections of wires, plugs, Antenna well mount. 4) Ck
frequency, channel or station. 5) Hand set switch, mike switch. Throat
microphone reduces back ground noises. Units
should perform radio checks at a distance.
In MOUT Ground search radars
GSR and remote electronic monitoring systems REMS have limited use in the
center of cities. They are best employed on the outskirts to monitor traffic
into and out of. If necessary GSR can be used to cover large open areas such as
parks. REMS can be used in sub terrain areas. IR used at airports etc. to check
to see if people have fevers. Note
the five by five i.e. loud and clear vs. lets say three by five i.e. weak but
clear etc. first number represents signal strength second number represents the
single clarity or reliability.
Decide on signals; Visual signals, such as arm-and-hand signals, Sign language viewed
through telescopes.
Sign language/hand signals
can be used if foe is at close range. This is also necessary when working with
foreign troops. Whenever passing word IMO due so loud clear and once, i.e. repeated at proper
intervals only. In other words if you barely heard it chances are the next
Marine did not hear it, or if the Marine beyond you is not observed or heard
passing the word. In addition, IMO
Marines, gangs and sports teams for that matter should teach and use official
International sign language. Not some customized limited back on the block
signals someone with too much time on their hands (lol) came up with, meaning
new arrivals must learn it to be effective members. Everyone using ISL would promote it
worldwide thus making communication with civilians easier too. IMO the coding
of any messages should not be in the signal its self but in the way words are
interpreted, that could also change maybe depending on the date being an odd or
even number. Example; you may say or sign to your unit “departure well be around 0;00 hours, or we depart about 0;00 hours”. In the first
statement you here the word (around) in your mind you know that means to go
around 0;00 hours, in other words 01;00 hours, in the second statement you hear
(about) you know that means in your mind you due an about face and you are
facing 23;00 hours. Anyone may see you signing the message, they may know what
you communicated they don’t know the correct interpretation. However they
believe they do after all they know ISL and so they may waste time and effort
planning based on that incorrect interpretation. Rhythm even but broken into
logical parts speak slightly slower and louder than normal with higher pitch
for clarity.
Pyrotechnics, or make use of
smoke signals too. Recon using flares, balloons or Church bells to report
sightings or movements of the enemy. The Mujahideen scouts fired flares to mark
location of targets. Marking panels are also excellent means for communicating.
When used for extended periods their meanings should change. Since foe may
capture or manufacture copies. The noise in built up areas makes it difficult
to use audio signals.
Messengers provide security and flexibility; Dogs used for messengers
or to reach isolated O/Ps and L/Ps their mess tins packed with ammo as well.
Carrier pigeons 60 mph, 600 miles max range. With guerrillas, letters should
not be written from post office in same area or close to receiver. They should
be sent to support group, community center then delivered by carrier. False
return address. Invisible ink using a dip pen, written on plain sheet of paper.
Use milk, vinegar, lemon, apple juice or urine. Paper would be held up to light
or over candle to read. Another method of heating is ironing. Chemical
solutions which are colorless dry also appear as various colors if they are
treated with another solution. It is also possible to dissolve an aspirin (not
child’s) in alcohol then dip a cotton ball in solution and whip over message.
Cipher using later of alphabet out of sequence by one place. Passing notes in
cigarette pack. Using a stick of a certain diameter, a strip of paper or tape
with letters written on it, would be read by wrapped strip around stick to
align letters. Resume used to communicate on internet. Collogue of photos that
form an image. Perspective view art and holographic tech for covert
communications. Batman laser writing in clouds, read with IR set to frequency.
LEDs communicator could work shutter (spring loaded) device with string etc.
Lessening tactic floating balloon to alt. than hitting it with laser or
Farphoon. Note non lethal or less lethal (L RAD) i.e. long range acoustic system, these systems can also
project messages or lesson to conversations. When used on small boats on rough
seas it can be difficult to keep beam on target. Marines’ equipment with
international calling codes that can be used on landlines in foreign nation.
Spinning flashlight on a core or rope as a signaling tactic. Makes
large hallo of light.
Install and defend cellphone
relays concealed in buildings.
If cellphones fail, direct
civilians with color-coded fireworks.
Bikers with cellphones in their
helmets can spot for mortar crews.
U.S. Works to Deploy Secret
Internet, Mobile Phone Systems For Dissidents
New details have emerged about a
secret U.S. effort to deploy shadow Internet and mobile phone systems overseas
to give political dissidents a way to communicate with the world free of
government censorship. The New York Times reports the project involves developing
what has been described as an "Internet in a suitcase" that would
allow dissidents to use “mesh network” technology to create an invisible
wireless web without a centralized hub. Part of the effort is being led by
Sascha Meinrath, director of the Open Technology Initiative at the New America
Foundation. Meinrath described part of the project on Democracy Now! in April.
Sascha Meinrath, New America
Foundation, Open Technology Initiative Director: “So we’ve been working on a
number of technologies to develop distributed communication systems, so that
you can turn cell phones, for example, into a medium that doesn’t need to go
through a cell tower, a central location, but communicate in a peer-to-peer
manner, directly with one another. And so, you can imagine if you daisy-chain a
lot of these together, you can actually have an entire network built out of the
already existing hardware that doesn’t need a central authority.”
