Conclusions and recommendations

AMBERas of 2026-06-10 · Signal Officer

Network supportable with risk. Retrans North degraded by suspected interference (northern FM coverage reduced, directional survey tonight); task force key rollover inside 7 days with rehearsal set for 2026-06-12. PACE for the current order active and acknowledged; draft PACE for OPORD 26-014 pending the review cycle.

Facts and assumptions

Facts

  • Task force PACE for OPORD 26-009 is active and acknowledged by all subordinate units; Battle Group East supplement in effect.
  • Retrans Site North (Hilltop 14) degraded by suspected interference since 2026-06-09 evening; FM command net coverage in the northern sector reduced. Site checks rule out power and hardware.

Assumptions

  • SATCOM availability remains at the current allocation through the OPORD 26-014 planning and execution window. Confirmation requested from higher; if the allocation drops, the alternate means in PACE_003 needs rework.
  • The 2026-06-14 key rollover (CS_001) completes without an outage window. Rehearsal scheduled 2026-06-12; the resolved fill device fault at Battle Group East (TKT_005) is the only rollover risk retired so far.
