III DOCTRINE
19. ~The SLGIN~ support necessary to conduct
military operations mu~t" be p1•ov1ded in three kinds or -
situations: ~a) peacetime, to include exercises; (b) periods
or heightened tensioni and (c) contingenc) operations and
combat.
20.~In general, SIGIHT support will be provided on
a system basis. Consistent ~itn the objectives ot maximum
overall efficiency, econo~y, and effectiveness in using
SIG INT reso1.&rces, SIGINT support will be provided by SIGitlT
direct service insofar as practicable. The SIGINT system
will be responsive to the needs or all authorized SIGINT
users, including military commanders for Whom special support ,/" ----=---
arrangements may be devised as a part or the system. The
system will be ready to respond in emergency situations,
including co~bat.
21 •• _J.S'f Military com.~anders also requ1re SIGINT direct • I
support. SIGINT direct support reso~~cea are necessary to
meet certain contingency and wartime needs and are also
required to meet certain peacetime needs which cannot be met

-cmiiiiunications and other electromagnetic radiations, the use
ot a CSG, and/or the intro~uction of fictitious SIGINl' into

other Deasures of support to tacticel operations. The need
tor pert~cipation of SIGIHT resources in exercises should be
determined at the earliest stage or exercise planning. Con
