Those whose job it is to enable command and control (C2) for commanders were confronted in 2014 with a sobering demonstration that the way the Navy and Marine Corps have been trained could get people killed in the next fight. In 2014, Ukrainian separatists supported by irregular Russian forces used electronic warfare (EW) to identify Ukrainian positions, disrupt communications, and ultimately kill significant numbers of Ukrainian soldiers. This has resulted in changes to the way the Marine Corps has conducted recent large-scale exercises, in which the use of EW and counter-EW technology has been a central theme.
Marine Air Ground Task Force Warfighting Exercise (MWX) 5-20 incorporated these changes into a force-on-force exercise that eventually highlighted some concerns about them.

In such circumstances, licensed amateur radio operators (also known as hams) would play a vital role because of their ability to pass along damage reports, observations, and other information to emergency responders by using battery and other alternate powered voice and digital systems common to amateur radio.

The Radio Act of 1912 required amateur radio operators, sometimes known as “hams,” to get a license, and in 1914 the national Amateur Radio Relay League was founded. Nashville Amateur Radio Club has been around for 85 years, making it one of the oldest clubs in the country. The group’s 70 members now look for ways to be of service in a world in which technology has evolved beyond amateur radio’s original usefulness.
