Also you are not supposed to blurt out your battle plans over the command
set.

Depends on timescales. If you're calling in a fire mission from a
battery in direct support, or reporting a hot contact... the enemy will
gain nothing from intercepting and translating your radio messages. They
already know that Our Guys are fighting Their Guys at grid 123987, the
spooks get told to clear the net for useful messages

Slower time? That's what BATCO is for, painful though it may be to use.

Radio silence. Above all radio silence. Only guys on their first mission and
scared to hell blurt over the command radio. And are so severely disciplined
on landing that they will never do it again.
