so irean (or howerver u spell that) was used by the americans at a certain time during the gulf war - 1995?

 

[deathwing5]

Huh? you mean Iran the country?

 

[austin]

i‘m pretty sure it‘s irene...i hope they keep india, i already got that one down pat

Irene was the go-code Task Force Ranger used on Oct 3, 1993. You know, Blackhawk Down?

That‘s probably what he‘s thinking of because AFAIK India has been used since at least Vietnam.

exactly, india...ok saved in brain!

Midway through WW II we used the American phonetic alphabet that went

Able
Baker
Charlie
Dog
Easy
Fox
George
How
Item
Jig
Kate
Love
Mike
Nan
Oboe
Peter
Queen
Roger
Sugar
Tare
Uncle
Victor
William
X-Ray
Yoke
Zebra

We switched sometime in the 1960s to the current NATO standard. So no Irene there.

Before the move to the US one, we had

Ack
Beer
Cork
Don

etc., or in other words, the British phonetic alphabet. Not sure why the switch; guys in the various "D" Companies were reportedly pissed at being referred to as "dog" though...

I thought "Y" was Yukon?
And "I" was Indian, although its close enough to "India" that it does not really matter.

It does matter, if someone has to say
"Say Again Over".
