Editing Ten-code (section)

=== ICS Clear Text ===
In 1980, the [[National Incident Management System]] published a document, ICS Clear Text Guide, which was another attempt to create a replacement for Ten-codes. The list of code words was republished in the 1990 Montana Mutual Aid and Common Frequencies document.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/mutualaidcommonf1990mont|title=1990 Montana Mutual Aid and Common Frequencies|year=1990}}</ref>
