J-3. Definitions

Taboo frequencies are any friendly functions/frequencies of such importance that they must never be deliberately jammed or interfered with by friendly forces. These functions/frequencies include international distress, stop buzzer, safety, and controller frequencies. These functions/frequencies are generally long-standing; however, they can be time-oriented, in that, as the combat/exercise situation changes, the restriction can be removed by the originating headquarters.

Protected functions/frequencies are those friendly functions/frequencies used for a particular operation, identified and protected to prevent them from being inadvertently jammed by friendly forces while active EW operations are directed against hostile forces. The functions/frequencies are of such critical importance that jamming is restricted unless absolutely necessary or until coordination with the using unit is made. They are time-oriented, can change with the tactical situation, and are updated periodically.

Guarded functions/frequencies are enemy functions/frequencies that are currently being exploited for combat information and intelligence. A guarded function/frequency is time-oriented, in that the list changes as the enemy assumes different combat postures. These functions/frequencies can be jammed after the commander has weighed the potential operational gain against the loss of technical and tactical information.
