TM 11-5895-1412-12&Pb. NETS ALLOWED IN REUSE (Continued)2.3.c. CLASSESNets selected forAir Defense Artillery (ADA) netsOther combat support or combat service support commandcontrol nets.AND ZONESreuse are grourped into “classes” and “zones”.A zone is agroup of nets in which a freqency cannot be assigned to more than one net forthe same time period.Classes are groups of zones. The total number offrequencies needed for a class equals the number of nets in the largest zone(frequencies reused between zones).An SOI database may contain a maximum of10 classes and a maximum of 20 zones per class. A maximum of 200 nets can bein one zone.d. REUSE “RULES OF THUMB”The following is a list of the rules to design a reuse plan:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.WARNING: Neither a RETRANS nor the CORRESPONDING net can beplaced in a reuse plan. See section G-7.a.All nets within the same class must have the samerestriction(s).The class with the largest number of restrictions should beclass 1.Frequencies are selected based on the restriction(s)assigned to the nets.If nets have NO restrictions,frequencies may be restricted but still assigned.Frequencies CANNOT include restriction(s) which are includedin the net’s restriction(s).The zone with the most nets determines the number offrequencies required to support the entire class.(a).Single channel nets require one frequency per net;therefore, if 20 nets is the maximum number in a zone,then 20 frequencies are required for the entire class.(b). Frequency hopping nets require two frequencies per net(manual and cue); therefore, if 20 nets is the maximumnumber in a zone, then 40 frequencies are required forthe class for frequency hopping.All zones within a class will “reuse” the same frequencies(Zone 1 uses the same frequencies as Zone 2, Zone 2 uses thesame frequencies as Zone 3 and so on).Reuse plan for most Army Divisions will contain one classwith three toElements thatartillery andthe supportedare permittedElements thatfive zonesprovide Direct Support (DS),engineering must be placed inBrigade.
