Typical duties include the operation and maintenance of high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), super high frequency (SHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) stationary or mobile radio sets, including antennas and power sources, establishing contact with distant stations, processing, and logging of messages, conducting frequency changes or cryptographic codes, and maintaining equipment at the first echelon.

Additional skills include planning, coordinating, executing operations while utilizing program of record equipment, and field-expedient antennas to integrate communication networks.

Operators will be familiar with spectrum analyzing tools, specialized computer hardware/software programs, transmission security (TRANSEC), and communications security (COMSEC).
