General Information<br />

Minimize<br />

MINIMIZE is a procedure used during periods of crisis<br />

or other ab nor mal periods to reduce the volume of record<br />

and long distance tele phone traffic ordinarily transmitted<br />

electrically.<br />

minimiZE applies to ALL users of DoD com mu ni ca tions<br />

systems, in clud ing origi na tors of card and tape traffic.<br />

Procedures. When MINI MIZE is imposed, users of DoD<br />

electrical com mu ni ca tions facilities must determine that:<br />

1. The information to be forwarded is required to avoid a<br />

seriously det ri men tal im pact on mission accomplishment<br />

or safety of life.<br />

2. Electrical transmission is the only way to get the information<br />

to the ad dressee in sufficient time to ac complish<br />

its purpose.<br />

Alternate Means of Communications. The U.S. mail,<br />

the U.S. Armed <strong>Force</strong>s Courier Service, or an individual as<br />

a courier or messenger should be used instead of using<br />

electrical means when MINIMIZE is imposed.<br />

Authority to Impose and cancel MINIMIZE. Command<br />

ers are au thor ized to impose MINIMIZE within their command<br />

or area of com mand or area of com mand re spon si bil ity<br />

unless specifically denied by appropriate higher au thor ity.<br />

The Joint Chiefs of Staff impose it world wide as well as in<br />

any specific area. The Joint Chiefs of Staff or the commander<br />

con cerned, as appropriate, will cancel MINIMIZE when no<br />

longer required.<br />

Joint Uniform <strong>Telephone</strong> Communications Precedence System (JutcpS)<br />

1. Joint Uniform <strong>Telephone</strong> Communications Precedence<br />

System (JUTCPS) which became effective Feb. 14, 1970,<br />

is directed for use by all authorized users of the voice<br />

communications facilities of the Department of Defense.<br />

Since the effectiveness of the system depends upon<br />

cooperation on the part of persons authorized to<br />

employ it, users must be familiar with the purpose to<br />

be served by each precedence category and the types<br />

of calls which may be assigned the respective precedences.<br />

Each authorized user should consider whether<br />

a call requires special precedence and exercise care<br />

not to request or utilize one higher than the circumstances<br />

require.<br />

General Instructions<br />

2. The JUTCPS does not make specific provisions for<br />

the conduct of test and exercise calls. Those activities<br />

or individuals authorized or required to conduct such<br />

tests and exercises will employ precedences consistent<br />

with the nature of the test or exercise, and upon contacting<br />

the called party will identify the call as a FLASH<br />

test call, IMMEDIATE test call, or PRIORITY test call<br />

3. Calls of a given precedence will not normally preempt<br />

calls of an equal precedence. However, calls<br />

originated by the President of the United States, Secretary<br />

of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff can pre-empt<br />

FLASH calls in progress by application of their FLASH<br />

OVERRIDE capability. In addition, commanders of unified<br />

and specified commands when declaring either<br />

Defense Condition One of Defense Emergency and<br />

CINCNORAD when declaring either Defense Condition<br />

One or <strong>Air</strong> Defense Emergency may also pre-empt<br />

FLASH calls in progress by application of the FLASH<br />

OVERRIDE capability.<br />

4. The precedence indicators listed on the following page<br />

are directed for joint use and specify, by military precedence<br />

designator, the relative order in which telephone<br />

calls should be handled based on the importance (content)<br />

of the call.<br />

Disasters or events of extensive seriousness having an immediate and detrimental<br />

government operations.<br />

Routine precedence designation applies to those official government communications<br />

which require rapid transmission by telephonic means but do not<br />

require preferential handling.<br />
