3-2. Communications.
a. Amplitude-modulated (AM) nets. The engineer battalion headquarters
has AM communications capability.
AM nets have a large signature
and a low density in the division and should only be used when all
other means of communication have been exhausted.
They are long-
range nets; however, enemy intelligence may be able to identify the
engineer headquarters from them so take every precaution to limit
the transmitted signature. NOTE: This net will soon be replaced by
improved high-frequency radios (IHFRs).
