Operating During Communications Failure
Loss of communication should not automatically stop an operation. Elements should continue according to the last confirmed orders, commander’s intent, established control measures and the PACE plan.
Subordinate leaders should:
- Attempt each PACE method in order
- Continue achievable tasks within commander’s intent
- Avoid actions requiring unavailable coordination
- Remain within assigned boundaries and restrictions
- Move to a designated RV or reporting point when required
- Re-establish communication as soon as practical
