U.S. UNCLASSIFIED REL NATO, GCTF, ISAF, MCFI, ABCA For Official Use Only RO III UPDATE Foreword The Signal Center of Excellence and the Center for Army Lessons Learned have jointly developed a Radio Operator Handbook for Soldiers assigned, attached, or task-organized as radio operators. The intent of this handbook is to provide user/operator procedures, guidelines, and information that will enhance efficiency in the operation of currently fielded combat net radio systems. This handbook will assist Soldiers in developing unit training strategies that support the Army Force Generation cycle. By applying the information found in this handbook, Soldiers, leaders, and planners will be provided a solid foundation for unit radio operator training that will build individual confidence and competence while providing individuals with essential skills and knowledge related to radio operations. Like any other Soldier, a radio operator will be effective only if he is well trained and gains experience through the application of his skills. A good radio operator will enhance command and control at platoon through brigade level. This handbook is designed as a training support guide to supplement unit-level radio operator training and certification.

U.S. UNCLASSIFIED iv REL NATO, GCTF, ISAF, MCFI, ABCA For Official Use Only RO III UPDATE Introduction Selecting a Radio Operator Ralph D. Nichols, Senior Military Analyst, Center for Army Lessons Learned and MAJ Brian Lionberger, Center for Army Lessons Learned The unit radio operator (RO) provides platoon- to brigade-level maneuver leaders a command and control capability that is critical to mission success. The RO is more than a Soldier who carries the radio for the commander, serves as the commander’s driver, or provides the commander personal security, although he often serves in these functions. The RO is the commander’s tactical information manager. The process for selecting and training an RO varies widely and is based on the role the unit commander intends the RO to perform; however, there are common factors that every maneuver RO should possess in order to enable effective unit command and control. Unit commanders should consider the following factors when selecting, training, and employing their ROs. ROs should: • Be able to competently apply the four principles of providing effective communications: plan, manage, train, and maintain. • Be able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance. • Be able to receive a message and communicate it effectively. • Be proficient in both traditional analog (map and compass and azimuth and pace count) and enhanced digital-enabled (blue force tracking [BFT], Precision Lightweight Global Positioning System Receiver, and/or Force XXI battle command—brigade and below [FBCB2]) land navigation skills). • Be in outstanding physical condition, especially if the unit conducts dismounted operations for any length of time. The added weight of the communication equipment and supplies increases the difficulty of movement. • Be technically proficient in the operation of all required communications systems and understand the limitations of that equipment. A dismounted RO must be proficient with secure frequency modulation, tactical satellite, and high-frequency radios. The RO must also be proficient with BFT and/or FBCB2 terminals, as most command vehicles and some lift aircraft have these systems. • Understand the ranges and limitations of the communication equipment. Know and apply employment techniques (such as positioning) and field expedients (such as long-wire antennas) to mitigate the limitations imposed by the environment. Operating in a dense urban environment, traversing long distances and/or mountainous terrain, or inclement weather can degrade communication range capabilities. U.S. UNCLASSIFIED REL NATO, GCTF, ISAF, MCFI, ABCA 1 For Official Use Only CENTER FOR ARMY LESSONS LEARNED • Possess and sustain combat driving skills and understand unit convoy procedures in situations where the RO is also the commander’s driver. The RO should be cross-trained and able to assume the vehicle gunner’s duties in extreme situations. The RO must have the ability to engage the enemy with lethal force when required. • Be a certified combat lifesaver. Understand and be able to quickly and effectively apply appropriate medical evacuation procedures when required. • Be familiar with Field Manual (FM) 1-02, Terms and Graphics. ROs must understand that operational terms have specific meanings, and the terms cannot be changed or paraphrased when receiving a message. They must understand graphics so they can mark a map when receiving a spot report; situation report; or size, activity, location, unit/uniform, time, and equipment report. • Be familiar with FM 6-02.53, Tactical Radio Operations. This FM serves as a reference document for tactical radio systems. It also provides doctrinal guidance for using tactical radios on the modern battlefield. The FM targets operators, supervisors,

  • An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext
    An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext By Isaac Quinn DuPont A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Isaac Quinn DuPont 2017 ii An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext Isaac Quinn DuPont Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Tis dissertation is an archeological study of cryptography. It questions the validity of thinking about cryptography in familiar, instrumentalist terms, and instead reveals the ways that cryptography can been understood as writing, media, and computation. In this dissertation, I ofer a critique of the prevailing views of cryptography by tracing a number of long overlooked themes in its history, including the development of artifcial languages, machine translation, media, code, notation, silence, and order. Using an archeological method, I detail historical conditions of possibility and the technical a priori of cryptography. Te conditions of possibility are explored in three parts, where I rhetorically rewrite the conventional terms of art, namely, plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext. I argue that plaintext has historically been understood as kind of inscription or form of writing, and has been associated with the development of artifcial languages, and used to analyze and investigate the natural world. I argue that the technical a priori of plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext is constitutive of the syntactic iii and semantic properties detailed in Nelson Goodman’s theory of notation, as described in his Languages of Art. I argue that encryption (and its reverse, decryption) are deterministic modes of transcription, which have historically been thought of as the medium between plaintext and ciphertext.

Three or four years ago I was asked to give a lecture before the Communica- tions-Electronics Division of the Air University, USAF, on the subject of communications security (COMSEC). About that time there was 'hP r "o:s..ui.i.ered into our ears over the radio a slogan concerned wi+~ ~oile traffic safety rules • ..... ThE" o1iugta.n." was: "Don't learn your traffic laws by accident!" I thought the slogan useful. as the title of my talk but l modified it a little: "Don't learn your COMSEC laws by accident•" I began my talk by reading Webster's definition of the word accident. I know, of course, that this group here today is not concerned particularly with COMSEC duties of any sort. But the definition of the word accident will nevertheless be of interest 11l connection with what will be said in a moment or two, so I'll read Webster's definition if you'll bear with me.

When it is deciphered. Learn how to make your own paper enigma encoder, then peruse the source code that duplicates its action to understand its simple yet ingenious inner workings -- as well as the basics of good cryptography. Finally, accept the challenge to crack a simple transposition cipher, because all great encryption architects must first master the art of cryptanalysis. View more content in this series Date: 26 Jul 2005 Level: Introductory Activity: 473 views Comments: 0 ( Add comments ) Average rating (based on 52 votes) If you design systems that require end-to-end encryption or encrypted segments with stored or transported data, you should never underestimate the difficulty of fielding a truly secure, cost- effective, high-performance system. Embedding encryption in devices like automated teller machines, or credit card and point-of-sale systems can be tricky given the significant resource limitations and the vulnerability of these systems, which are often placed in public environments. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has defined the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) 140, 140-1, and, most recently, 140-2 standards, to ensure that public encryption for commerce is reasonably secure -- tamper proof, not vulnerable to cryptanalysis attacks over short periods of time, but still amenable to practical implementations.
