These emergency circuits are intended for use only in the event that normal communications channels between these field stations and Headquarters are disrupted because of conditions of a an emergency communications plan designed to insure the availability of limited communications (in terms of volume between staff representatives of this organization in the field and Headquarters In’conjunction with the primary purpose of Plan direct cryptographic. aervico ’25X1` channels have been established for the exchange of technical-communications traffic 25X1 between the ~feld radio operators and the~Haae ,Radio Station. These 25X1 direct cryptographic service links also present a command channel. possibility which will be used only when specifically authorized and in those situations. in- which the urgency of the situation precludes action by Headquarters, or when communications with Headquarters is no longer possible.

Under such circumstances the field 5X1 .station may use the Radio Operators Service ciphers for the encryption of operational traffic. The Base Radio Station will decrypt the traffic and distribute it to the appropriate addresses, It is conceivable that in the future certain designated representatives of this organization may be assigned to strategic locations for the purpose of coordinating and distributing this lateral traffic, This subsidiary function of.Plan~is intended merely to increase the flexibility of the emer- gency communications plan by anticipating the existence of one of the most likely. types of emergency situations.. :.,tiost duce located at Support Misssionse it has been necessary to secure permiosiosa 1.2 Sew.
