In what scenario would military personnel use MANPACK radios?

MANPACK radios are specifically designed for portable and tactical communications in environments where traditional infrastructure may not be available. This makes them particularly useful when operating in remote areas that lack established communication networks. The portability of these radios allows personnel to carry them easily while on the move, ensuring connectivity even in challenging terrains or locations far from support resources.

In contrast, urban settings, training exercises in classrooms, and telecommunication centers typically have established communication infrastructure (like fixed telephone lines, internet, and organizational communication systems) that would make the use of MANPACK radios unnecessary. Such settings do not require the mobility and independence that MANPACK radios provide, which is why the scenario of operating in remote areas without access to infrastructure is the most suitable context for their use.
