Is "River City" called for any reason besides someone in the area being wounded/killed?
I understand that communication restrictions can happen for a lot of reasons but when they specifically use the term "River City" are there other reasons?
ETA - Specifically on deployment in Iraq/Afghanistan - not on a ship

Lots of it is practice.
We set River City for real for injuries/deaths as well as any sensitive operations we don't want Sailors/Soldiers/Marines/Airmen writing home about. It is not always personnel-related.

Whenever somebody is under attack, downed aircraft, safety mishaps, etc. I remember when the Hopper, Port Royal, and Ingraham were being harassed we set rivercity.
They want to investigate and straighten out the details before the public sniffs it.

Practice, to make all sailors can follow orders. Practice makes perfect.
Source(s): Plenty on River cities during underway periods.
