Figure 2-6. Division AM voice net (SSB)
As Figure 2-6 shows, the division's key elements operate in this net. The AM radios used in this net
should not be standing idle during an operation, but should be up and running to handle the barrage of
voice traffic.
(e) The division rear battle net (FM) is used for rear operations command and control to
counter enemy activity in the rear area (Figure 2-7). This net may be particularly difficult to operate in
because stations are very dispersed (especially bases). A base is a geographically small, defendable area
with a defined perimeter and established access controls. Units will have to allocate radio assets that
would normally go for other nets to be able to operate this net. As Figure 2-7 shows, the stations in this
net handle security and defense. The military police respond to threats that are beyond the ability of a
base defense force. Tactical ground forces, the aviation brigade, and the division artillery (DIVARTY)
enter the net when the Threat level reaches the point where enemy battalion-sized or lager units are
deployed.
(f) The division rear battle net (AM) is used for the same purpose as the rear battle FM
net, but provides a longer range (Figure 2-8). This range is needed to contact the corps rear operations
center located farther back in the rear.
