NATO Phonetic Alphabet

The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is a list of 26 words corresponding to each of the letters in the English alphabet. These words are used in both Radio and Voice communications instead of letters they represent. The advantage of this system is that each word in the Phonetic Alphabet sounds different-enough from all others, making communications clearer.

ShackTac uses the NATO Phonetic Alphabet in almost all communications. Additionally, many units, vehicles and weapons are given Callsigns based on this alphabet.
