Advice [ ]

Proper advice in 7CMBG is critical to the success of whatever mission. 7CMBG uses a combination of TeamSpeak iii and TFAR. This combination gives u.s. the flexibility needed to communicate finer. What follows is a basic outline of radio process equally it applies to 7CMBG. At that place is much more than but it would take volumes to write it here. As nosotros get feel more complex communications will exist introduced. All members of 7CMBG are expected to know and practice the post-obit aspects of comms:

1. Our SOPs in regard to comms;

ii. How TS and TFAR is used and what are the keybinds How to requite proper contact reports(covered in Reports and Returns);

3. What channels (both TS and TFAR to use and when to apply them;

iv. How to talk on comms; how to initiate and cease a communication;

5. Being familiar with the Reports and Returns formats; and

6. How to assume control and establish comms with higher HQ.

Characteristics [ ]

When speaking over comms in that location are some standard characteristics of all transmissions to think about:

1. Clarity – yous must be as clear equally possible when speaking. Go far the habit of pressing the PTT(Printing to Talk) key-pausing-speaking-pausing- releasing the PTT key. This way you can be bodacious your complete bulletin was transmitted. Pronounce your words with an virtually robotic like way;

2. Brevity – go on your transmissions brusk and to the point. Use as few words as possible to become the same meaning;

• Confirmation – whenever yous transmit an lodge/bulletin you lot must confirm that the other callsign heard you. Normally this would happen when the target C/Southward (callsign) acknowledges the message with a "1-1C, ROGER, OVER. If yous receive no response so a elementary "1-1C, THIS IS i-ane, Copy MY LAST?, OVER" Every bit the target C/S you must get in the habit of acknowledging all transmission sent to you. If you had a hard time understanding all or function of the manual then you should say "ane-1C SAY AGAIN, OVER" or "1-1C, SAY Once more ALL AFTER "..ADVANCE TO.." OVER"

• Communication Procedures and Language – You must brand certain y'all fully understand and can utilise proper radio procedures and language. Be familiar with the phonetic alphabet, how to pronounce numbers, what the various C/S of the dissimilar units is, how to communicate with other artillery such equally Armour, Arty, and Air, etc.

Callsigns [ ]

Every blazon of unit no matter what size or military machine arm has a C/S. C/S are used to distinguish not only what type of unit they are merely what level of command they are. Although there is no official C/S assignments there is a commonly accepted Radio Net for a typical Rifle Visitor:

Note: If you need to make it contact with sure individuals in the HQ they have their ain C/S. For example: the Platoon 2IC would transport his Ammo & Prey report to the Company 2IC C/S 1-9B. This is actually only useful when communicating with COY HQ or college.

Callsigns such as "Black Eagle 1", etc are really just used in Special OPS and are not a regular thing in normal Infantry operations.

Other arms such as Artillery and Armour apply the same C/S layout but of form it is slightly different because of the numbers involved. When working inside a combined artillery radio net an arms indicator is added to the C/S. For example: If I desire to talk to the Armour Troop HQ I would employ Tango as the indicator for Armour and India for Infantry similar this: "T1-1 THIS IS I1-1, RADIO Check, OVER" This is then confusion is avoided when identical C/S are used in the unlike artillery.

In that location is no need to use SunRay and SunRay Minor on the radio equally bodily call signs. If you want to talk direct to the OC or 2IC of a element then yous would ask for them using the normal procedures and call sign.

Example:

1-1, this is 1-9, over

1-i, roger, over.

one-9, fetch SunRay, over.

1-1, roger, wait, over. The person on the radio will get the requested person and that person will go on the radio transmission using the normal unit of measurement telephone call sign.

1-1, this is SunRay, over.

one-9, blah, apathetic, blah.....

Arm Indicators [ ]

The arm indicators are:

Infantry – India

Armour – Tango

Artillery – Golf game

Engineers – Repeat

Transport Helos- Hotel

Assail Helos- Whiskey

Special Forces – Juliet

Anti Air Vehicles – Xray

Attack Aircraft – Nov

Supply Vehicle - Uniform

Empty Vehicles – Zulu This needs some caption: A Zulu vehicle means one that is not occupied by Commander. Information technology usually applies to the APCs of an Infantry unit. If we are doing mechanized ops and we, equally a platoon, dismount the APCs and comport an assault on pes and so need to be picked up by the APCs. The way to communicate this is: "ALL CALLSIGNS 1-1 Z THIS IS1-1 MOVE TO Grid 23112344 FOR PICKUP, OVER"

There are many more special C/S but for 7CMBG purposes the preceding info is adequate. At that place is another important one though; If you need medical attention then call for STARLIGHT (Medic) he volition salve your life.

Common Phrases [ ]

The listing below is of mutual phrases used in radio procedure:

ROGER –Yes or I understand or Will do

NEGATIVE -No

SAY AGAIN - Say your concluding transmission as I did not understand it ROGER - I understand, acknowledged

Break – BREAK - clear channel. Something important coming or a way for C/S to get priority.

Transport - Ship your transmission

More TO FOLLOW - More information coming. Used to break up long letters into smaller parts.

I CONTINUE - I am continuing concluding bulletin

CONTACT - I am engaged by effective enemy fire

WAIT – Wait

OVER - My message is complete

Echo - Repeat final Fire mission or Close Air Back up Mission. Do not employ Repeat in place of Say Again or disaster may ensue

Bank check FIRE - Terminate firing or change your fire direction as yous are currently causing friendly casualties

SWING FIRE – followed by direction Swing Fire Right or Swing Fire Left

RV - Rendezvous Location

ORV - Objective Rendezvous Location, the position to move to the Objective from.

FIGURES - Numbers to Follow "request figures 23437(numbers are said phonetically) bottles of beer to my location"

Steps Of A Radio Transmission [ ]

Step 1: Initiate Traffic – Ever starts with the target C/S followed by the initiator's C/South : "1-1A THIS IS 1-1 OVER" Target C/S responds with their C/S followed by an OK to ship message: "one-1A Ship, OVER"

Step 2: Transmit Message. No matter how many parts there may be to whatever given bulletin the sending party must always begin with their C/S and the receiving role must begin with theirs. Do not get in the bad habit of re-initiating: yous do not have to say both C/Southward before each transmission one time the initial contact is made.

"1-1, Move YOUR CALLSIGN Frontwards 300 METRES, OVER"

"1-1A, UNABLE TO MOVE AT THIS Fourth dimension, OVER"

"1-i, ROGER, Can Y'all Run across CALLSIGN ii-1 FROM YOUR LOCATION, OVER"

"ane-1A, NEGATIVE, OVER"

Pace three: Ending The Manual – The C/S that initiated should be the i who ends information technology: "i-ane, OUT"

Please don't say things like "ROGER WILCO" or "OVER AND OUT" that is only in Hollywood.

Radio Checks [ ]

Radio checks are used to confirm that all C/S are operating and that communications is clear between all C/S. A radio bank check can exist given at any time but it is nigh useful at the beginning of a mission or performance. Radio checks are a must do at the beginning of each gaming session.

A uncomplicated C/Due south to C/S radio check would go similar this:

"ane-1A THIS IS 1-ane, RADIO CHECK, OVER"

"ane-1A, LOUD AND Articulate OVER"

"i-1, LOUD AND Articulate, OUT"

Grouping Radio Checks done for whole units such as a Burglarize Platoon. The initial transmission is no different; even so, the Platoon C/South should answer in alphabetical/ numerical order:

"ALL CALLSIGNS 1-1 THIS IS one-ane, RADIO CHECK, OVER"

"i-1A, LOUD AND CLEAR, OVER"

"ane-1B, LOUD AND Articulate, OVER"

"i-1C, LOUD AND CLEAR, OVER"

"1-1, LOUD AND CLEAR, OUT"
