Today, the Army uses many different types of telephones and switchboards. The mission involved and units employed will determine the equipment requirements and their reconfigurations. 1. Types of telephones. We can divide the tactical telephones into two major groups-common-battery and local-battery equipment. Normally, units at company and battalion level use local-battery equipment. At the brigade level and up, we use common-battery equipment. Table 1-1 provides a list of the telephones and switchboards most commonly used. Part A of this lesson provides their technical characteristics. 1-1 SS 0029
