Brigade CP Communications.
a. The brigade CP requires rapid, continuous, dependable, and flexible communications. The
brigade uses vehicular-mounted and manpack radios. In addition to voice nets, it establishes a RATT
net with subordinate battalions to facilitate transmission of most hard copy traffic between HQs. The
brigade also operates in external radio nets. Its single-channel voice stations are provided from organic
assets. However, the division signal battalion provides RATT stations for external nets.
b. The brigade has no organic means to enter the division multichannel communications
system. The area signal company of the division signal battalion provides multichannel terminal teams
to each brigade. The terminal teams establish a site near the HQ of each brigade to terminate
multichannel systems. Other teams are set up as a part of extension network located near the brigade
support area (BSA). A typical wire distribution system for the brigade HQ is shown in Figure 2-5.
