FM/BS-583 - Shorten callsigns when possible

To keep radio communications brief, shorten callsigns whenever possible, according to the following rules:

  • Drop the common section of the callsign of all stations on the net (ALPHA 1-1 ←→ ALPHA 1-2 becomes (1 ←→ 2)
  • Drop the numerals when only a single station of that callsign is on the net (ALPHA 1 ←→ BRAVO 1 becomes ALPHA ←→ BRAVO)
FM/BS-584 - Use personal callsigns for the HQ element

When addressing a specif person in the HQ element, use their personal callsign:

CALLSIGNPERSON
9Platoon/company leader
8Platoon/company sergeant
7-4Assigned based on ORBAT, could be medic/FAC/FO etc

Personal callsigns are never transferred to another person, even when said person is incapacitated.

FM/BP-586 - Callsign structure

A callsign consists of a word with a series of numerals appended. It is structured as follows WORD NUMERAL 1 - NUMERAL 2 with the corresponding meaning:

  • WORD: Platoon or support element callsign
  • NUMERAL 1: Squad number
  • NUMERAL 2: Fireteam number

 

 

 

FM/BS-821 - Use ALL STATIONS to address all callsigns on the network

When adressing all callsigns on a network, use ALL STATIONS instead of listing all callsigns separately.

FM/BS-582 - Use ACTUAL to refer to the leader of an element specifically

When needing to speak to the leader of an element specifically, and not anyone else on net who may take transmissions for the call-sign (Platoon Sergeant/Radio Operators etc.), append ACTUAL after the element's call-sign.
