- MARITIME MESSAGES PREFACE . PURPOSE

The purpose of this publication is to provide the user with a readyreference of messages and supporting tables commonly used at sea.

SCOPE

The contents of EXTAC 1006 relates to tactical command, control, coordination and information dissemination. In order to avold duplication and differences between publications, normally only such material will be incorporated in EXTAC 1006 that can be removed from the original parent publication. Consequently, material that cannot be removed from the parent publication (e.g. which would be used by non-holders of EXTAC 1006) will normally be incorporated. Messages of a training nature will not be incorporated.

INCORPORATION OF MESSAGES AND SUPPORTING TABLES

The Maritime Tactical Working Party is the control authority for EXTAC 1006 on behalf of MAS and will review biennially all proposed changes.

PREPARATION OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED E”oR INCLUSION IN EYCTAC 1006

a. Any authority wishing to have material incor porated should submit their proposal to MAS Naval Board for consideration by the Maritime Tactical Working Party.

b. LAYOUT

Layout and accuracy are on originator's responsibility. All submissions must be in final form, ready for reproduction. The layout will largely depend on its contents and nature.

Messages should be supported by an example.

DEFXNITION

Structured Message

A "Structured Message" is composed of standardised paragraphs ordered in a specified sequence, with each paragraph given an identifier and containing information in free form. It will normally be used and read by people rather than machines.

1100. purpose and type a. purposeThe MTMS consists of standardized messages and may (1) To convey operational instructions or intentions.

(2) To pass operational information to tactical Coammanders at sea.

(3) To report operational information between Commanders and from subordinate higher formations.

(4) To notify organizations of impending and actual opera- tions of units engaged in maritime warfare.

b. types. The following message types are used in the MTMS.

(1) OPGM - Operational General Matters - general matters of policy, instructions and aspects common to all forma of warfare and detailed instructions for warfare responsi- bilities retained by the OTC.

(2) OPTASK - Operational Tasking - detailed information for specific aspects within individual areas of warfare and for the tasking of resources.

(3) OPSTAT - Operational Status - aspects of information exchange, particularly reporting of operational status.

1101. Application And Description

a. TbE 0pgen will normally be originated by the OTC, while OPTASKs may be originated by the OTC, or specific Warfare Commanders/Coordinators when delegated. The OPSTATs will be originated by the authorities making status reports.

b. The MTMS permits promulgation of a comprehensive range of instructions and informAtion and also serves as an originator's "Aide-mEmoire*. It is designed to be flexible and provides:

(1) A "Stand-None" OPGEN for sMAll scale operations.

(2) An OPGEn amplified as necessary by OPTASK messages for larger scale operationa.

(3) A means to issue changes covering additions, deletions, and amendments to previously promulgated messages.

VNCWSfFfED 1006 - 1 - 1 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006

C. Messages are presented as follows:

(1) A statement of purpose (2) A brief summary of section titles (3) General instructions (4) Structure, including section details and examples.

d. Messages are structured so that the contents of their component sections appear in free text, or in established sequences which are repeatable and may be amplified as required. Each section is prefixed by an alpha-numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviation.

1102. DRafTing instructions

8. The alpha-numeric identifier is followed by a slant, self-explanatory abbreviation, a further slant and text. Each section, with its associated identifier, abbreviation and text is to be started on a new line.

e.g. B4/AAWPICK/.... BS/NADGE/......

b. Readability may be improved by indenting the second and subsequent lines after the self explanatory abbreviation.

a. Free Text. Free text sections appear as shown in the example:

e.g. Dl/MISSION/DETER OPPONENT FROM LANDING PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENTOF HOSTILITIES. LOCATE ALL OPPOSING FORCES IN THE VICINITY OF AREA BRAVO. AT GENERAL ALERT, DESTROY OPPOSING AMPHIBIOUS FORCES PRIOR TO DEBARKATION. IF LANDINGS HAVE COMMENCED, ENGAGE ALL OPPOSING SUPPORT FORCES IN AREA BRAVO.

d. Established Sequence. There are two methods of presenting an established sequence:

(1) In which bl ocks of required information are separated by slants. Within blocks of information required items are separated by periods, spaces, hyphens, etc., but not by a slant. In addition, slants are not to bt used for- abbreviations such as N/A, A/C, etc. These must be written as NA, AC, etc. or words written out. To ensurt that the required sequence of specifitd information is maintained, hyphens are to be entered where there is no information except as exempted in the detailed instructions, or if it is clear that the correct sequence will not be lost.

e.g. B4/AAWPICK/BRISTOL/R6F/36OZZ8O

UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 2 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006

(2) Items of required information and their sequence as specified in the appropriate instructions for each section are identified by paragraph and subparagraph numbering. This presentation produces longer messages than using slant separation.

e.g. B4/AAWPICK/ (1) BRISTOL (2) R6F (3) 3602280

l . Amplifying a Sequence

(1) In sequences using slants, elements may be amplified by inserting the appropriate text after the elemtnt, separated by a dash. In amplifying an entire sequence, appropriate text may be inserted at the end, separated from the last element by a slant.

e.g. E4/SAFESECT/GOLF/VICTOR LIMA/100 NM NORMALLY FROM 18200021 TO 18220023 150 NM/235M/l0/ FLlOO/DISESTABLISHED 22000125.

(2) The same principle applies when using paragraph and subparagraph numbering. Amplifying text is separated by a dash. However, the entire sequence is amplified by using the next paragraph number.

e.g. E4/SAFESECT/ (1) GOLF (2) VICTOR LIMA (3) 100 NM NORMALLY-FROM 18200021 TO 18220023 150 NM (4) 235M (5) 10 (6) FL 100 (7) DISESTABLISHED 22000125

f. Repeating Sequence

(1) Sequences using slants may be repeated as follows:

(a) Continuous repetition of the sequtnct without separation. In the interest of readability, this is only to be used for short sequences requiring little repetition.

e.g.B3/SURFAAW/KIDD/GOLF/OOOZZ3O/ROGERS/GOLF ALFA/120zZ1O/BROADSWORD/GOLF BRAVO/ 2402210

UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 3 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006

- (b) Repeating the alphanumeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviations on a different line for each sequence.--- This is appropriatt for lengthy sequences. While the length of messages may be increased, readability is improved.

e.g. Gl/EMCON/ALFA/A-14E-l8A-4OP-66U- 81UV-82A-90EB-B-14E-4OP-5lP-68U-82H- 90EB-L-lOU-40P-60U-8OM-84U Gl/EMCON/BRAVO/A-lOU;3OU-6OU-8OU-B-1OU- 20U-40P-60U-80U-L-10E-2OE-4OP-85U

(cl Repeating the sequence on a new lint without an alpha-numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviation. This is appropriate for shorter sequences requiring much repetition.

e.g.B3/SURFAAW/KIDD/GOLF/OOZZ3O/ ROGERS/GOLF ALFA/O60zz10/ BROADSWORD/GOLFBRAV0/120ZZl0/ NEUSTRASHIMYY/ECHO/ZZ/ MACDONOUGH/HOTEL/18OZZ5/ KASHUB/HOTEL ALFA/240zZlO/ ALGONQUIN/HOTEL BRAVO/300ZZlO

(2) The only method of repeating sequences using paragraph and subparagraph numbering is to repeat the alpha- - numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviation for 4 each sequence.

g. Amplifying Repeated Sequences. When using tither slants or paragraph and subparagraph numbering, all repeated sequences in the same section are amplified by adding, at the end of the section, the same alpha-numberic identifier and self ex- planatory abbreviation, followed by amplifying text.

e.g. B3/SURFAAW/KIDD/GoLF/OOOZZ30/ ROGERS/GOLF ALFA/060ZZ10/ BROADSWORD/GOLFBRAVO/120ZZ10/ NEUSTRASHIMYY/ECHO/ZZ/ MACDONOUGH/HOTEL/180ZZ5/ SPRUANCE/HOTEL ALFA/24OZZ1O/ SILNYY/HOTEL BRAVo/300ZZlO/ B3/SURFAAW/ON DETECTION OF ACFT THREAT STATION RANGES ARE TO BE INCREASED BY 10 NM WITHOUT FURTHER ORDERS.

h. To avoid lengthy messages, it is essential that originators omit sections which are not necessary.

i. All times should be expressed as 4 figures followed by a time zone letter and checksum.

UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 4 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006

j- The examples used in the various messages that comprise the MTMS are not intended to conform to current editions of tables, but are written for illustrative purposes only.

k. Between frequencies and checksumS, letters K, M and G will be used as follows:

K - KHZ, M - MHZ, G - GHZ.

1. To avoid confusion caused by errors in transmission, checksum digits are to be used when specified by the message format.

m. A checksum is a single number derived from the sum of all numbers of the field to which the checksum applies. When the total sum is more than a single digit, only the last digit of that sum is used; e.g. checksum of 2468 = 0, checksum of 246 = 2.

1103. Change insTRuCTIons

Previously promulgated MTMS messages are modified in the course of an operation as follows:

a. By changes to promulgated messages. This method ha8 the advantage of allowing separation to some degree of perishable and non-perishable information, thus reducing repetition of the same text in subsequent messages. It is described below:

(1) Changes are identified by MSGID followed by the title of the message being changed, followed by "CHANGEm, followed by a three-figure number indicating the change serial, followed by the effective DTG of the change, with each separated by a slant. The complete message identifier is not given because, as explained in section Al of each message structure, referencing the message to be changed is mandatory.

e.g. MSGID/OPTASK AAW/CHANGE/003/021200Z5

(2) To delete a section in an existing message, the appropriate section alpha-numeric identifier is listed, followed by "Delete"

e.g. E3/DELETE.

(3) To add a new section to an existing message, its complete text, including the alpha-numeric identifier and self explanatory abbreviations, is inserted.

UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 1 - 5 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED EXTAC 1006

- (4) For major amendments to a section in an existing message, the complete section including the alphanumeric identifier, self explanatory abbreviation and revised text, are inserted. For minor amtndments the alpha numeric identifier, self explanatory abbreviation and directions for the amendment only are necessary.

(5) The order of the contents of a change message is to conform to the structure sequence of the message to be changed.

b. By promulgation of a replacement MTMS message under the next sequential serial number. This message will automatically su- persede its prtdectssor at the first time listed in section A2 of the replacement message.

1200. The opgen

8. Purpose. The purpose of the OPGEN is to enable the OTC to promulgate general matter of policy, instructions and aspects common to all forms of warfare and detailed instructions for warfare responsibilities that the OTC retains.

b. Certain general information required for the conduct of operations in one or more warfare areas may be found only in the OPGEN. Therefore the OPGEN must be signalled for all operations/exercises and must be addressed to all participants including not only units of the force, but also cooperating/supporting commanders and units both afloat and ashore.

C. Brief summary of Section Titles. Sections with notes in brackets are only required if the appropriate OPTASK will not be issued.

5500. Standard Ship DeSignAtor SyStEn PfP glosSAry and DeSCRIPTION Of Ship DeSigNatorS (TaBle 5-5)

1 This comprehensive glossary of PfP naval and non-naval vessels is intended to serve as a standard guide for analysts, operators and planners in typing ships. Its opjective is to make possible valid comparison of the naval forces of all countries of the world by establishing common typing standards.

2 Within the limits of feasibilty, the type designators are based on current western world naval types. The glossary tends to stay with tradition. Where new designators have been devised, an effort has been made to make them self evident as possible by envolving them from traditional western roots. This guide lists basic ship type designators. Additional designators can be formed by appropriate use of suffixes. Care should be taken to avoid ambiguity.

3. The general rationale behind groupings is:

(a) Principal Surface Combatants. All surface combatant ships which are designed to operate on the high seas, often far from home bases.

(b) Submarines. All self-propelled submersible types with at least a residual combat capability.

(cl Amphibious Warfare Vessels. All ships and craft with a primary mission of amphibious warfare.

(d) Mine Warfare Vessels. All ships and craft with the primary function of mine warfare.

(d) Patrol Vessels. All surface patrol and attack vessels intended for use relatively near to the coast. While capable of operating on the high seas under some circumstances, they are not primarily designed for it. (f) River/Roadstead Patrol Vessels. All crafts which, by design, are intended for use in calm or sheltered waters. Under some circumstances, they could be encountered well out at sea. (Q1 Auxiliary Vessels. All non-combatant vessels under naval control employed in support of naval forces primarily on th high seas. (h) Service and Support Vessels. All non-combatant vessels under naval control not designed to operate at sea, though many can go to sea in some circumstances. Also includes crafts of any size which are non-self-propelled.

UNCLASSIFIED 1006 - 5 - 5 - 1 ORIGINAL UNCLASSIFIED Table 5-5 (cont'd) EXTAC 1006

(i) Designators and Titles of Vessels.

1. These ship designators are for use by-all PfP nations and commands for planning and reporting in PfP operations and exercises.

2. Basic designators consist of from 2 to 4 letters. Suffix letters may be taken from the following table in alpha- betical order and added to the basic designator to specify role and/or capabilities (but see note 2). Not more than 5 letters are to be used in any basic designator and suffix combination. Suffixes are not to be used with non-naval vessels.

SUFFIX MEANING

A. A unit equipped with force surface to surface (SSM) or underwater to surface (USM) guided missiles (Note l/3/4) C. A ship equipped with a critical angle towed array system (CATAS) D. A ship equipped with a depressed towed array system (DTAS) E. A unit for experimental purposes F. A ship other than CV type equipped with fixed wing aircraft G. A unit equipped with force surface to air guided missiles (SAM) (Note l/3/4) H. A ship equipped with helicopter(s) J. A unit that is either an air cushion or surface effect design K. A ship equipped with hydrofoilds L. A unit with minelaying capability (Note 5) M. A ship equipped with more than one force missile system i.e. SAM t SSM, SAM t SUM (Note l/3/4) N. A ship or submarine using nuclear propulsion (Note 2) Q. A unit configured for, or employed on, a Command, Control or Communication mission R. A unit equipped primarily to carry out radarpicket duties S. A unit with mInesweeping/minehunting capability (Note 5) T. A unit used primarily for training with a reduced operational capability U. A unit equipped with surface to underwater (SUM) or under- water to underwater (UUM) missile delivered force weapon (Note l/3/4) V. A ship equipped with variable depth sonar (VDS) W. A ship without organic helicopter(s) but equipped with a flight deck and limited helicopter facilities Z. Non self-propelled ship or craft

Notes: (1) Suffixes may be combined as required but suffix M should not be used with suffix A, G or U. (2) Suffix N, when used, is normally the last character. (3) A force weapon contributes to the overall force offensive and/or defensive posture. (4) The suffix G for US Navy Ships indicates a ship equipped with surface to air guided missiles (SAM) and does not exclude other systems (SSM and/or SUM). The US Navy does not use suffixes A, M or U to indicate missile systems. (5) To be used for vessels whose primary purpose is not mine warfare.
