d. GSSC/RSSC. (1) Perform 24-hour operations functions. (2) Plan and manage communications for the UCC. (3) Process SARs and issue SAAs. (4) Provide apportionment oversight for the UCCs. e. JTF. (1) Exercise control over joint communications systems and establish and maintain joint circuits, per unified command J-6 guidance. (2) Submit frequency requirements to the theater JFMO. (3) Validate, consolidate, prioritize, and forward UHF TACSAT requirements to the COCOM for channel allocation. f. JFMO. (1) Provide frequency clearance for apportioned TACSAT channels. (2) Assist users in resolving electromagnetic interference (EMI). g. NCTAMS. (1) Configure communications plans for the GSSC/RSSC. (2) Execute communications security (COMSEC) rollovers. (3) Provide EMI characterization. (4) Monitor DAMA control system performance. (5) Maintain DAMA control system equipment. h. Component Command. (1) Develop communications plans supporting UCC OPLAN/EXPLAN/EMOP. (2) Validate and rank component SARs. i. Communications Planners. (1) Identify resource requirements. (2) Submit SARs. (3) Perform local frequency deconfliction. 4. UHF TACSAT Usage Guidance a. UHF TACSAT bandwidth is an extremely scarce resource. Other means of communications are considered prior to requesting a UHF TACSAT resource. UHF TACSAT resources include dedicated channels and DAMA networks. Table I-1 presents criteria communications planners use to determine when a UHF TACSAT resource is necessary. A signals intelligence (SIGINT) risk assessment is performed to determine the system and mode best suited to mitigate the SIGINT risk while accomplishing the mission. I-6

. Use a logical process for communications planning. The process should include determining the distance and evaluating the terrain between terminating points; the type of information to be moved (voice, data, imagery, video); the systems and modes available to move the information; and the ability of the unit to furnish, install, operate, and maintain the systems and modes. Compare the communications requirements to the systems and modes available to communicate. c. Do not consider TACSAT as the default solution to any communications requirement. Specific planning considerations drive communications planning and the process of defining the resources required to move information. As the process of system and mode analysis consideration proceeds, eliminate non-TACSAT systems through accurate and defensible mission analysis before determining that TACSAT is required. d. The planning matrix in Table I-1 represents the logical process used to analyze the systems and modes available to a unit for its communications mission. I-7
