Bravo (Callsign)

Bravo is the second letter of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, corresponding to the letter "B". The word Bravo is normally used instead of that letter in all communications.

The term "Bravo" is typically used as the Callsign for the second Squad in the first Infantry Platoon. Since almost all ShackTac videos include at least one infantry platoon, this callsign is one of the most common.

Uses

 * The second Squad in the first (or only) Infantry Platoon is almost always called "Bravo". If there are players on two or more Sides of a mission, each side may have its own Bravo squad.


 * If Bravo Squad has any armed vehicles directly attached to it, whether for transport or close fire support, those vehicles receive the callsign "Bravo Victor", meaning "Bravo Vehicle". This is typically shortened to "Bravo Vic" ("BV" on the map).


 * Objectives for Bravo Squad are marked with the letter "B", but will be referred to as "Bravo Objective", "Bravo Rally", "Bravo Resupply", etc.


 * In an Armored Company with no infantry present, the callsign "Bravo" will typically be assigned to the second Tank Platoon in that company. All of the above applies equally to this tank platoon.

Examples
Since a "Bravo Squad" appears in almost each and every ShackTac video, specific examples are not necessary.
