This manual is intended to reflect the procedures and techniques which
have proven to be the most effective for successful implementation of CORN
.field operations. Sitdat~ons will occur that~are not covered in this document;
however, when they do occur, INSTANT communication with the Range
Manager is required to determine a rapid and feasible
solution. It must be firmly stated that constant communication between all
involved field units and the Range Manager must be maintained throughout
any Qperating Period. -The "Operating Period",`as used in this context, is
defined as that time period which starts upon receipt of a 1'.ong Range Fore-
cast and terminates upon submission of the Operational Recap. This defi-
nition will hold for all parties involved in ~CORN~e~ierations.
Secti.on,II of this manual dgsc.ribes the cwe~all CORN operations, anal
Appendixes ~A through D deal with specific aspects of the CbRN operations.
~ Y'our compliance with these procedures and your total effort will. be
required to provide acceptable results for this program.

SECTION II
GENERAL PROCEDURES AND TEC~INIQUES FOR CORN OPERATIONS
COMMUNICATION
_ The first of three messages received by the Range Manager in the activation of a normal
CORN Operation is the Long Range Forecast (LORAF) (Fig.. 1, page ~). This message is
transmitted by the requester approximately six days in advance of .the first day of operation.
The information contained in the LOREIF is as foTlows~
1. Dates of operation
2. Display time during day of~operation
3. Location of display in coordinates and position relative to landmarks,. g. , city,
highway junctions, etc.
4. Azimuth. (The true bearing or angular orientation from True North of the long
axis of the display corridor. )
5. Required target array
Upon receipt of the LORAF, the Range Manager wi 11 assign the support task to the field
unit that can most economically and expediously comply with the request. _
This advance alert notice will allow the field units tb schedule their normal workloads
around the projected CORN schedule and to assign the necessary personnel as communication
contactdand crew members. The LQR~~1F will always be transmitted by TWX.
The second and third messages received by the Range Manager are transmitted as one
medsage (Fig. 2. , page 3). They are:
,,
1.. Final Confirmation Message (FICOM) (See Fig 2, page 3) -
The FICOM contains the same type of information as the LORA F with the exception of
two important points., ,
1. The FICOM confirms the operation.
2. Contains all final changes pertinent to operation called for in the next twenty-four
hour period.
i
. The "48" alerts -the Raage~ Manager to any change in location for the' operational dfsplay
scheduled 48 hours after receipt of message. The information is general and not $nal. It
'includes general coordinates and will indicate location by landmark, e. g. , city, highway
junction, etc. The purpose of this message is to guide the $e1d units close to the anticipated
display area.

~PECTHA BRIGHTNESS $POT METER, MODEL SB
1. Upon arrival of the field unit at the target site, the brightness meter will be turned
on to allow for proper warm-up time. (Allow a minimum of one-half (1/2) hour. )
2. Install the brightness' meter on the tripod. Extend tripod so the meter is ~ve feet
above the magnesium oxide disc. Focus the meter optics upon the disc.
NOTE
The magnesium oxide disc is used as a target to read the incident light.
The disc is designed to reflect approximately 97 percent (National Bureau
' of Standards) of the incident light. The data read from the disc is well
within the accuracy of the brightness -meter.
3. Check zero of meter be re each reading.
Z
4. Readings will be taken a ery fifteen minutes on the disc and on all targets displayed.
Record these values on the Site Manning Report. Reflectance readings must be taken
rapidly and legibly recorded as fully written out footlambert values, i, e. , 12 500
(not 12. 5 K).
5. Anticip to the sun angle for your hours of operation and locate the tripod so that the
legs wi~l not cast a shadow in the area to be scanned. Use the same area of each
target for all readings.
6. The meter will be positioned at five feet above the disc for each reading.
7. If dirt collects on the magnesium oxide disc, a hard eraser may be used cautiously
to remove this residue .
LIGHT (EXPOSURE) METER, BROCKWAY MODEL S
1. Bright Light Slide No. 1 should be inserted behind photo sphere and remain there
at all times.
2. Set the correct ASA rating of the film being used in the ASA index window. ASA
numbers of all color films will be fond in the film exposure instructions.
3. To obtain the correct camera setting, the exposure meter must be placed directly
on the target. Rotate dial until red IN pointer is set to number of dial scale which
corresponds to number indicated by needle, i. e. , if needle indicates 5.6, turn red
IN pointer on dial to 5. 6 on dial scale. All combinations of shutter speed and f/stop
for correct exposure will then appear on lower half of dial. For example, with an
~ ASA;, index of 10 and a needle indication of 5.6, correct exposure would be 1/50 second
at f/5.6. Any other combination of shutter speed and f/stop which are matched
together may be used. PREFERENCE: U~ilize the fastest shutter speed possible to
minimize any vibrations in the carinera mount.
4. See next page titled '~Hasselblad Film/Filter/ASA Combinations Table" for correct
ASA settings as a function of film/filter combinations.

cloud cover exceeds 25 percent also list the cloud type(s) (cumulus-Cm, Cirrus-Ci,
or Stratus-S). Total overcast will be noted,? when applicable. Other nonmeasurable
environmental phenomena will be noted when appropriate, e, g. , dust storms, various

2. Each field unit is required to measure obvious areas of extensive, easily recogniz-
able terrain and/or cultural features on the report sketches, i, e. , areas of sand,
asphalt, grass, buildings, trees, etc.
Figure 14, page 29 is an example of the type of information/symbolization that is
required on all location sketches. The Basic Legend as set forth on this illustration should
be adhered to when possible. Source map nomenclature will be fully described tD include
map title, series, production~unit,?scale and date. All source map reference points must
be included in the Location Report. These are the most importanYreference points on tide
form, so they must be accurately portrayed.
Field units are required to use overlay material to indicate their plotted coordinates.
This overlay will be forwarded to r coordinate veri$cation. Coordin4tie8

The crew chief must be familiar with the standard time and Greenwich mean time (Zulu),
and use of the 24 hour clock notation. Some examples are: 1 pm CST is 1300 hours (local)
or 1900 (Z) Greenwich time. To compute Greenwich mean time, add the following: five hours
for EST, six hours for CST, seven hours for MST, and eight hours for PST. No reference
will be made to daylight saving time. ,
Two sample messages are included in Fig. 15, pages 31 an7i 32. All segments must be
completely filled in.
