19. ~The SLGIN~ support necessary to conduct

military operations mu~t" be p1•ov1ded in three kinds or -

situations: ~a) peacetime, to include exercises; (b) periods

or heightened tensioni and (c) contingenc) operations and

combat.

20.~In general, SIGIHT support will be provided on

a system basis. Consistent ~itn the objectives ot maximum

overall efficiency, econo~y, and effectiveness in using

SIG INT reso1.&rces, SIGINT support will be provided by SIGitlT

direct service insofar as practicable. The SIGINT system

will be responsive to the needs or all authorized SIGINT

users, including military commanders for Whom special support ,/" ----=---

arrangements may be devised as a part or the system. The

system will be ready to respond in emergency situations,

including co~bat.

21 •• _J.S'f Military com.~anders also requ1re SIGINT direct • I

support. SIGINT direct support reso~~cea are necessary to

meet certain contingency and wartime needs and are also

required to meet certain peacetime needs which cannot be met

operation plan they acoompany and at such other tim~s

as mutually agreed upon by the cmr..mander or the unified

employed under the pr~visions ot an SSP, delegation of'

SIGINT operational tasking authority to the supported

commander over those direct support resources shall

take place concurrently with the execution or the SSP.

resources in exercises which include only friendly forces

typicall.y involves the monitoring or opposing friendly torcoa'

-cmiiiiunications and other electromagnetic radiations, the use

ot a CSG, and/or the intro~uction of fictitious SIGINl' into

exercise plaJ. CrJptologic support should be viewed ao are

other Deasures of support to tacticel operations. The need

tor pert~cipation of SIGIHT resources in exercises should be

determined at the earliest stage or exercise planning. Con­

sultation by commands with area NSA/CSS reprcsentatjves or

the locel CSG, if available, is encouraged at this j~ncture.

Thereafter, procedures ror obt&in~ng that participation vary
