Question 16Navigation General70% to pass
In a national emergency, when communicating via the Navy, messages are sent by precedence. A message designated FLASH will be delivered within _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 10 minutes.
In the US military communication system, FLASH precedence is the highest level of message priority, indicating an extremely urgent and time-sensitive communication. Messages designated as FLASH must be delivered within 10 minutes of transmission, as per military communication protocols and regulations. This ensures the most critical information reaches its intended recipients as quickly as possible during a national emergency or crisis situation.
The other options are incorrect because: B) 6 hours is too long for a FLASH message, C) 30 minutes is also too long, and D) 3 hours is significantly longer than the required 10-minute delivery time for a FLASH precedence message.
