Chapter II<br />

Communications Planning Cycle<br />

1. Assess Force Structure Requirements<br />

a. What is the mission requirement? Who, what, where, when, why<br />

(OPLAN/EXPLAN/EMOP)?<br />

b. Validate mission requirements against established SDB (per<br />

OPLANS/EXPLANS/EMOP/fragmentary order/Annex-K), and CJCSI 6250.01A priority<br />

code.<br />

2. Acquire Resources<br />

Figure II-1. Communications Planning Cycle<br />

a. Define unit specific resources. TACSAT resources are extremely constrained due<br />

to proliferation of TACSAT capable radio systems. Based on system constraints a unit<br />

may receive an assignment that provides for lower data rates than originally requested.<br />

Communications planners validate all resource requirements based on mission criteria<br />

and ensure that realistic resource requests are submitted based on mission analysis.<br />

(1) Do not use TACSAT networks for routine traffic when other systems and<br />

modes of <strong>com</strong>munication are available.<br />

(2) Do not request resources at a higher priority than required.<br />
