Fox (Callsign)

Fox (or Foxtrot) is the sixth letter of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, corresponding to the letter "F". The word Fox is normally used instead of that letter in all communications.

The term "Fox" was originally used as the Callsign for the third Squad in the second Infantry Platoon. A second platoon has become quite rare in ShackTac ArmA 3 videos, and the callsign "Fox" has fallen out of use as a result.

Note: The correct NATO Alphabet word for the letter "F" is "Foxtrot". However, ShackTac generally shorten this to "Fox" in all communications.

Uses

 * The third Squad in the second Infantry Platoon is almost always called "Fox".


 * The term "Fox" is rarely if ever seen in ArmA 3 videos, due to the smaller Headcounts.


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


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

Examples
Due to Headcount limits, it is very rare to see a sixth Squad in any ShackTac videos, even from the ArmA 2 era. Please add such examples below.
