time <strong>and</strong> the situation will permit. It is normally used during<br />
periods of radio or listening silence, in defensive or stabilized<br />
operations, <strong>and</strong> in assembly areas. Wire lines are installed to each<br />
of the organic troops <strong>and</strong> attached units. To increase flexibility,<br />
lateral wire lines are installed to adjacent units whenever possible.<br />
Local wire lines are installed to the comm<strong>and</strong>er <strong>and</strong> to staff sections<br />

the squadron whenever feasible. Figure 62 shows a type wire net<br />
