INSTRUCTIONS
This code book, to be known as the "Colorado" Code, is
issued to all combatant troops down to battalions.
It is primarily intended for communication within the division, but may be used for messages to higher headquarters.
Messages encoded by its use may be transmitted by any
means at hand, but radio or earth telegraphy should be used
only when more secret means are not available.
1.

2.
Messages once transmitted in clear or in any other code
or cipher must not be repeated in this code.

Messages once transmitted in this code must not be repeated

any other code or cipher or in cle;ir.
Except that number and hour of signature may be in clear
when preceding first code group, the use of "clear" in code
messages is prohibited.
in

The use of this code for regular routine reports should

limited to actual necessities. Such reports should be transmitted by other means than radio or earth telegraphy.

4.
Avoid use of words not in code book when other words
with same significance are provided. Words spelled out, letter
by letter, not only take time to code, transmit and decode, but
they are one of the favorite points of attack by enemy code
men.

5.

letter,

Where two or more code groups are assigned the same

syllable, word or phrase, first one and then another

should be used so that in a series of messages each occurs about

the same number of times. In particular, no group should ever
appear twice in the same message.
At least (me group marked "Null" should be used for

every ten code groups in a message. These should be placed at

irregular intervals.

groups are used for the

letter "0."

Coded and decoded copies of messages must never be filed

together. All notes and memoranda used in coding or decoding
messages must always be destroyed, by burning, if practicable.
7.

Messages must be short. Several short messages will be

read by the enemy than one long one.
Except in emergency, a long message, if it must be sent, will
be divided into two or more parts and each sent as a complete
message.
