I think comms using reprogrammable encryption are going to be infrequent almost three years post tdm. It’d be easier to produce a paper SOI that gets couriered out and changed on a schedule than go to That’s essentially an encryption guide or code book (brevity codes) similar to JN25 or Admiralty Code. With time, an SOI or code can be compromised, mainly due to induced human error or capture. That countermeasure to that is introducing a new edition frequently. Couriers could see more use, with light aircraft and the remaining helicopters falling back into a liaison and courier role.

That will be another challenge for PCs as they re-enter friendly lines without current challenge/password or recognition signals, or counter “friendlies” with different signals. There’s adventure seeds to capture an SOI or codebook, interdict a courier, or protect the same. High priority missions may see PCs issued with encrypted comms gear and COMSEC equipment (ANCD, KYK, etc).
