Course Scope:
To provide Critical Digital Tasks awareness training for Force XX1 Battle Command Brigades and below (FBCB2), SINCGARS Radio's, PLGR Global Positioning devices, and Automated Network Control Devices (ANCD). Common Operating Environment training on Routers consists of basic networking, IP Addressing and Subnet Masking, Router operations, Static Routes, IP unnumbered, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
Access List, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Physical and Logical Network Topologies, and Dynamic Routing. Basic Electronics Fundamentals to include: numbering systems, logic circuits, matter and energy, direct and alternating current, electromagnetic theory, inductance, capacitance, impedance, reactance, solid-state devices, semi-conductors, transistors, integrated circuits, transformers, amplifiers, and radio frequency equipment. Digital fundamentals consists of an overview of the Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) telecommunications systems identifiers, subscribers, service provisions, transmission systems, Frequency division multiplexing and Time division multiplexing and microwave principles and fundamentals, Tactical High Speed Data Network (THSDN), and training on critical digital tasks. Training on DCE devices includes AN/FCC-100 multiplexing equipment, Pair Gain and Fiber Optic Modems, as well as Network Maintenance Equipment such as Fireberds for circuit troubleshooting.
