If you are not on the same card and in the same cover (a few exceptions) you need to be in command to communicate e.g. FOs or in LOS if both units communicating have a SCR536. Therefore it is important who you issue them to and keeping certain units together with a phone equipped HQ e.g. They are limited in number, you need a radio/phone to talk to others with a radio/phone and either use Field phones or Radios. SCR300 or better which can communicate anywhere apart from certain drastic terrain. The BN HQ is using a more powerful radio e.g. Radio Telephones have to be on the same net but FO/FAC can relay via a co-located (attached to) HQ, for calls for fire only to the Fire Net. A CO HQ can command a weapon team or squad but a better use of commands would be to activate a subordinate HQ.Īs long as the CO HQ has the BN TAC Radio, and the BN HQ is off map, they are in communication with one another (NOTE: if using the phone to communicate with the BN HQ, there must be a legal phone line connection between the CO HQ and the Staging Area).įield phones connect all TAC nets, they share the same lines and imagine each phone has a line in the terrain it is currently located. Obtaining and expending commands is directly linked to communication. The CO Tac Net is available to everyone on it, all units in the company with a radio/phone, you can give any unit one, commands run downwards,
