Radio communication with the base and troops are vital in military life. Whether it’s combat or scouting, there needs to be constant communication amongst everyone to keep updates on plans or evacuations. This offers many advantages for both parties and all groups that are out on the field. One of the first types of radio communication is line of sight, which allows the radio frequency to be received and sent out as long as the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna are within range of one another and the zone is clear of debris and other materials that can block its way. The second kind is a two way radio communication that sent and received messages are tuned in at the same frequency. Communications systems work using electromagnetic waves that are broadcasted by an antenna. Relocating or even setting up one of the antennas and getting a radio communication to work is actually a fast and easy process. It uses a radio-based link since the installation of a cable-based network is nearly impossible on the field let alone during combat. The two way radio communication has been the most common and widely used method of keeping in touch with troops and bases. There are fundamental radio communications, support communications, troop coordination communications and even shore to shore communications. The first of which is the basic contact between troops and the base. The second kind of communication is used as the fastest way to get materials out on the field. Troop coordination communication is used as updates on conflict conditions or even surrounding areas and weather which allows time to plan out what units are needed. Lastly, shore to shore communications allow contacting different military branches in the air, sea or land. In other cases, troops even use paging transmitters to contact one another or even the base in the case that radio communications are not easy to set up.
