Last one reached the post limit. Carry over to this one for OOC.

I think I may have to redo some of the callsigns to account for the changes or does that seem a bit confusing to everyone?

Why don't we do super cool callsigns like "Razor 3" and "Eagle 5" and "Hammer 7" and "Delta Actual"? No, seriously.

Well, we could do that but then we'd have to reserve one hand to keep down our pants.

Either that or all become US air force pilots with egos the size of a truck...

;)

Hey fellas, I need to know the order of march for the vehicles... as in which on is first, second, and so on.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #5):

My guess would be Bradley, M113 and then the BTR-70.

US Army callsigns that I'm familiar with generate easily and are easily expanded on.

Example for Alpha Company (Apaches)

Apache Six - Company Commander
Apache Seven - First Sergeant (Or otherwise most senior NCO)
Apache Five - Company XO
Apache Two - Company Intelligence Officer
Apache Eight - Fire Support Officer

Platoons are usually known as a color...

1st - Red
2nd - White
3rd - Blue

Example for 1st Platoon (Red) Leadership...

Red Six - 1st Platoon Leader
Red Seven - 1st Platoon Sergeant
Red One - 1st Platoon 1st Squad Leader
Red Two - 1st Platoon 2nd Squad Leader
Red Three - 1st Platoon 3rd Squad Leader

Team Leaders are Alpha's and Bravo's

Red One Alpha - 1st Platoon, 1st Squad, Alpha Team Leader
Red One Bravo - 1st Platoon, 1st Squad, Bravo Team Leader

Vehicles for Red (1st) Platoon and do not change

One Five - next most senior Section Leader
One Six - PL's Track
One Seven - PSG's Track
One Eight - least senior Section Leader

Drivers and Gunners are Delta's and Golf's

One Six Delta - PL's Track, Driver
One Six Golf - PL's Track, Gunner

Say at Battalion level, for example 2/28th IN (Black Lions)

Lion One - S1, Administration
Lion Two - S2, Intelligence
Lion Three - S3, Operations
Lion Four - S4, Logistics
Lion Five - XO
Lion Six - CO
Lion Seven - CSM
Lion Eight - Fires
Lion Nine - S6, Communications

This is pretty much the standard Army wide...only when you get weird attachments do you start seeing Hollywood Callsigns.  Even Army Aviators use this rather than Hollywoods.
