Tbs phase 1 exam actual updated &newline;questions and correct
answers
Given a tactical scenario with a mission and scheme of maneuver, select communication
assets that will enable command and control to support the scheme of maneuver.
What does FIRST-S Stand for in Communications? - -o Flexibility
o Interoperability
o Reliability
o Security
o Timeliness
o Survivability
--Given a tactical scenario with a mission and scheme of maneuver, select communication
assets that will enable command and control to support the scheme of maneuver.
Goal of Comms? - -To manage massive flows of info IOT provide commanders with only the
info needed to be effective, while giving access to wider flows of info when necessary.
--Given a tactical scenario with a mission and scheme of maneuver, select communication
assets that will enable command and control to support the scheme of maneuver.
Role of Tactical Comms - -Must be capable of facilitating speed and tempo, while dealing
with the problems of uncertainty and time. Ultimately, it must allow info to pass throughout
all levels of the MAGTF.

AN/PRC 117F - -VHF, UHF, and SATCOM Capable
Highly Portable
VHF Range: 0-10Km
UHF Range: 20Km-LOS
--Given a tactical scenario with a mission and scheme of maneuver, select communication
assets that will enable command and control to support the scheme of maneuver.
AN/PRC 152 - -Highly Portable
Max effective range=5-7km
--Given a tactical communications scenario, select the correct frequency spectrum to enable
tactical communications.
High Frequency (HF) - -2-29.99 MHz
Used for long distance comms when SATCOM is unavailable
, --Given a tactical communications scenario, select the correct frequency spectrum to enable
tactical communications.
Very High Frequency (VHF) - -30-89.99 MHz
Range extends slightly beyond Line of Sight (Approximately 50km)
Most widely used in Infantry Battalions for ground to ground comms
--Given a tactical communications scenario, select the correct frequency spectrum to enable
tactical communications.
Ultra High Frequency (UHF) - -225-511.99 MHz
Used for ground to air comms
Range=Approximately 500km when communicating with aircraft if aircraft is within Line of
Sight
Cannot bend around obstacles; therefore, is not good for ground comms
--Given a tactical communications scenario, select the correct frequency spectrum to enable
tactical communications.
SATCOM - -Used for long range tactical comms, both voice and data
--Given a tactical communications scenario, select the correct frequency spectrum to enable
tactical communications.
Order of Comms in distance shortest to farthest - -VHF, UHF, HF, SATCOM
--Given a tactical scenario, explain how multiple radio nets can be employed to enable
command and control.
Explain how multiple radio nets can be employed to use command and control. - -Multiple
radio nets allow for assets within a specialized field/task to communicate with each other
freely. By employing multiple nets, no one net becomes clogged with traffic. Furthermore,
the use of multiple nets builds redundancies into the system, allowing for contingencies in
the case of a comms failure. Every comms plan should implement the PACE principle, with a
Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency comms plan.
--Given a tactical scenario, explain how multiple radio nets can be employed to enable
command and control.
What does PACE stand for in Comms? - -Primary, Alternative, Contingency, and Emergency
comms plan.
--Given a scenario, a mission and a mental estimate of the situation, provide commander's
intent to facilitate decentralized operations.
Provide commander's intent to facilitate decentralized operations. - -• Actions must be
decentralized due to the disorder, fluidity, and uncertainty that is inherent to war.
