What is meant by saying that the codes change daily? Is this to say, that even now, in peace time, such messages are sent continuously, but only code for the command "Do nothing"? Simon A. 13:01, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
It should be mentioned that the photo is from the movie "Crimson Tide" and is not a photo of a genuine EAM. Basesurge ( talk) 01:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Someone recently pointed me to a broadcast and told me it was an EAM. It wasn't in digital mode. It was someone saying something in the NATO phonetic alphabet. It was just random letters, but it was certainly not digital mode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.35.197.10 ( talk) 16:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello all!
From reading the source that was cited, Skyking messages and EAM messages are both sent to nuclear forces. If that can be confirmed by other sources or knowledgeable folks, I would suggest that this portion be clarified. EAMs are described as being the orders to nuclear forces, and Skyking messages ones which can override them... but as someone totally unfamiliar, I immediately wondered what the heck could be more of a priority than orders to nuclear forces.
Also, I would suggest another source be found. The one given is a PDF written by a radio enthusiast and has several very significant typos causing contradictions. Again as an outsider, it seems to have very little credibility.

Better late than never, I suppose. These messages have been previously used to elevate DEFCON alert status, as seen in a U.S. government document declassified by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel. [1] This has been known on X (formerly Twitter) at least since October 14, 2023 among SIGINT communities. [2]
DDO: Roger. (pause) All stations, this is the DDO. EAM has been released 1452 Zulu. All stations acknowledge. ARMY: Army. Marine Corps acknowledge. NORAD: NORAD USSPACECOM. PEOC: This is PEOC, say again. DDO: This is the DDO. I say again, the EAM was released 1452 Zulu. We're just getting acknowledgments. PEOC: PEOC acknowledges. STRATCOM: STRATCOM acknowledges. HIGHT HAWK: Night Hawk Control acknowledges. NORAD: NORAD USSPACECOM, acknowledges. AIR FORCE: Air Force, acknowledges. NAOC: NAOC acknowledges. FAA: This is the FAA. What was the lead at 1452? FAA: DDO, FAA. DDO: FAA, DDO. FAA: What was the lead at 1452? DDO: Roger. It's an emergency action message directing worldwide DEFCON 3. FAA: FAA acknowledges.
