SCOPE
This pocket guide is intended for use by SINCGARS Net Control
Stations, both ICOM and Non-ICOM versions of the radio. Where
controls differ, ICOM is shown first, followed by Non-ICOM in
parenthesis; i.e.; ERF (SEnd).
It covers the NCS tasks and provides flow charts showing the
stops required to perform NCS functions. This pocket guide is
based on the assumption that NCS personnel are well-trained and
experienced SINCGARS operators, that they have access to
Operator's Manuals and Pocket Guides. The purpose of this NCS
pocket guide is to provide the NCS soldier a hand memory jogger
covering major NCS requirements.
Whenever more information is needed, NCS personnel are
encouraged to refer to TM 11-5820-890-10-1/2/3/4.
