Who develops a PACE communication plan?

• A. S6
• B. S3
• C. S1
• D. Commander

Answer: (A)

PACE communication planning ensures continuous command and control by establishing a Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency set of communication methods. The S6 develops this plan because their role is to design, provision, and test the unit’s communications architecture and to ensure redundancy across channels. They specify which channels to use, how to switch if the primary link fails, and how to coordinate with other staff to keep operations informed. The commander approves and uses the plan, S3 handles operations, and S1 manages personnel, so none of them drafts the full PACE plan.
