Due to the ongoing waves of strategic airstrikes by Israel against Iranian military, leadership, and nuclear facilities. there is a very high likelihood of cyber attacks by Iranian assets, as well as by other actors aligned with Iran. In the previous 24 hours there have been cyber attacks against nation-state websites and other online services in Europe and the middle-east. Today (Thursday) there were numerous reported disruptions to internet-based communications services (sources being compiled now), with no confirmed cause or responsible parties named.

AmRRON will remain at AmCON 3 until further notice, and we will continuously be monitoring the situation. Additional changes to the AmCON level, and any special instructions or guidance, will be posted here, as well as through the AmRRON member Telegram Channel, the AmRRON Corps Z-Net, and the AmRRON Mobile Team App.

Special instructions:

Inspections and functions checks on communications equipment, backup power supply systems, and all supporting equipment, etc.

In the event of grid down:

Check local radio and television news sources for additional information
If local news is offline, tune to local scanner and VHF/UHF (ham) repeaters to ascertain any additional information
Tune in to the AmRRON digital HF Persistent Presence Net and monitor while you are producing your initial STATREP
Submit your STATREP over HF via Commstat (preferrably), or by FLMSG, or plain text, at your earliest opportunity
Tier 4+, Tier 5, and Tier 6 stations collect all available STATREPs and summarize the information for your Initial Event Summary
Refer to your Signals Operating Instructions to identify the next scheduled net
Follow instructions of NCS and have any traffic (SITREPs if reporting an event with details or narrative) prepared and ready to send
NCSs will ask for any Priority (or higher) traffic for the net. Transmit your call sign, state, and the precedence level of your traffic (Example 1 PPP indicates one piece of Priority traffic). NCS will then ask for Routine traffic after Priority or higher traffic is handled.
