display needs of the battle group, force commanders, subordinate warfare commanders, ship
commanding officers, and shore command centers - ANS-GCCS-M
- HVT: High Value Target. Normal timeline to strike
- HPT: High Priority Target. Time sensitive target - ANS-the difference between a HVT and HPT
- In computer networking, bandwidth management is the process of measuring and controlling
the communications on a network link, to avoid filling the link to capacity or overfilling the link,
which would result in network congestion and poor performance - ANS-what is bandwidth
allocation

address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default
gateway - ANS-dynamic host congfiguration protocol
- Joint COMSEC Monitor Activity: The mission of the JCMA is to conduct COMSEC monitoring
(collection, analysis, and reporting) of DOD telecommunications signals (encrypted and

non-communications signals. The purpose is to identify vulnerabilities exploitable by potential
adversaries and to recommend countermeasures and corrective actions - ANS-OPSEC roles
and responsibilities in support of JCMA
