Communication & Radio Protocols Flashcards

What is the main purpose of a standard start command such as "Get set... Go" in an ACFT event?

Answer: To give every Soldier the same clear, consistent cue to start

Standardized commands make starts fair and consistent across lanes and graders.

A Soldier does a hand-release push-up repetition that does not meet standard. What should the grader do?

Answer: State the fault clearly and do not count the repetition

Graders give short verbal feedback on faulty reps so the Soldier can fix the movement while the event goes on.

Lanes are loud with many Soldiers testing at once. Which practice best makes sure a Soldier hears the grader?

Answer: Face the Soldier, speak loudly and briefly, and use standard terms

Short, loud, standard commands cut through noise and reduce misunderstanding.

When should graders tell Soldiers about event standards and procedures?

Answer: Before the event, through the standard instructions

Reading standard instructions before the event makes sure every Soldier knows the standards ahead of time.

A grader sees a Soldier showing signs of heat injury during the 2-mile run. What is the correct communication action?

Answer: Stop the Soldier and radio for medical support right away

Suspected heat injury calls for stopping the Soldier and getting medical support immediately.

How should a grader report a final event result to the scorecard recorder?

Answer: State the Soldier's identifier and the raw score clearly, then confirm read-back

Clear identification plus read-back keeps scores matched to the right Soldier.

During the Sprint-Drag-Carry, how should the grader direct the Soldier between the five 50-meter segments?

Answer: Use brief, standard verbal cues for each segment and its required task

Short cues help the Soldier move through the segments correctly without slowing the event.
