Re: OOC Thread 4
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.
