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 />
