Hello everyone! I'm confused.
Military callsigns for Special Forces soldiers over the radio is something that I struggle with when I'm writing.
Communications between ground troops, and from ground troops to aircraft, aircraft to ground, and ground/aircraft to command post, etc. What's the SOP in each of these instances?
Are words used? Names? I know that Rank is NEVER used over the waves. What about numbers? "Delta-six-Echo" for example...
My novel includes British and American military personnel, so I'd like the British and American SOPs when it comes to communication.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
