Which publication code corresponds to the Basic Operational Communications Doctrine?

• A. NWP 6-01
• B. NWP 5-01
• C. NWP 7-01
• D. NWP 8-01

Answer: (A)

The Basic Operational Communications Doctrine is published as Naval Warfare Publication 6-01. This publication serves as the foundational reference for how units plan, establish, and operate communications during naval operations, covering standard procedures for nets, call signs, message formats, encryption and security, frequency management, and redundancy to keep communications reliable and interoperable across the fleet. Other NWPs in the 5-01, 7-01, and 8-01 family address different topics, so they do not describe the basic communications doctrine.
