What are Non-Standard UTCs primarily used for?

Non-Standard UTCs (Unit Task Codes) serve as a solution when a standard capability does not exist for specific military requirements. Organizations may encounter unique mission needs wherein the standard UTCs do not provide the necessary structure or resources. In such cases, Non-Standard UTCs allow units to articulate their unique capabilities or tasks, thus facilitating effective planning and execution of missions.

Using Non-Standard UTCs ensures that all relevant personnel understand the specific tasks required and can plan accordingly, even in the absence of a pre-existing framework. This can be particularly important in scenarios where specialized skills or equipment are needed that aren’t captured by existing standard UTCs.
