A. Following are the priority lists for the GN.
B. The priority lists are created for the use of operations personnel at the White Sands Complex (WSC). The list provides strict guidelines for mission support in the event of service request conflicts during the forecast period and the applicable list will be utilized to resolve the conflicts. After the confirmed schedule is transmitted, the priority list does not apply; priority is given to the confirmed scheduled request, except for the absolute priorities listed in Ground Network Priorities. In the event of a real-time emergency, operations management may enforce and/or temporarily amend the priority list as necessary. Missions receiving only emergency/contingency or launch and early orbit support (i.e., not routine mission support) are implicitly included in the Absolute Priority list and not explicitly called out in the GN Priority List. Any mission receiving Network proficiency support will be granted incrementally increasing priority in the event that conflicts repeatedly preclude planned proficiency tests.
