Does anyone have a list of prowords ie. Starlight, Sunray etc?  I'm wondering if ammo techs have one.  Thanks.

RICKSHAW looks appropriate.

Pedantic, yes, but I spent too many hours in vans with headphones on.

Ordinance? Proword Radio Appointment Title for JAG?

"a city ordinance banned smoking in nearly all types of restaurants"

2. an authoritative order; a decree.

Or perhaps you meant Ordnance

2. a branch of the armed forces dealing with the supply and storage of weapons, ammunition, and related equipment

Come to think of it, in these days of legalistic ROE intensive battlefields, why isn't there a proword an appointment title for Judge Advocates.  Ambulance Chaser?  Over. (now that's a proword)

http://jcs.dtic.mil/j6/cceb/acps/acp125/

It lists prowords, but the only reference to radio appointment titles is:

216. RADIO APPOINTMENT TITLES
Radio appointment titles are not codewords. They may be authorised for combined,
national or joint working as required. With the exception of SUNRAY and SUNRAY
MINOR, which may be used for the Commander and second-in-command on Marine,
Army and Air Force tactical nets, appointment titles are not normally used.

I thought 125 had both arm indicators and appointment titles in it.  I must be starting to lose it.

So did I and was already reviewing the same site before you posted, then realized it wasn't the CANSUPP-1.

 

[RADOPSIGOPACCISOP]

Last one I trained on was the ACP 125 Cansup B.

Probably have an old copy stored somewhere but I think they are on a newer version, Cansup F.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

I just remember it as the brown book in the CP.

 

[Sig_Des]

Current edition in use is CANSUP C, which does have both arm indicators and appointment titles, including two new ones that were not included in CANSUP B. I still keep a copy of CANSUP B, because C dropped the Regimental and Brigade fixed Callsign annexes.

Last I looked, CANSUP C couldn't be found electronically, and F was for Allied comms.

The Allied Communication Publications are a series of international military communication standards produced by a committee 5 English speaking nations. http://jcs.dtic.mil/j6/cceb/acps/

Of those publications, ACP 125 is concerned with Radio Telephone Procedure (voice procedure) and is at version "F".

In addition to those we produce a Canadian Supplement (CANSUPP) adding further direction for our operators. CANSUPP-1(C) is the current version of this publication and was produced in 2009, replacing 1(B) which was first published in 1984 (So, don't expect any updates in the near future.)

Among other things 1(C) adds the following appointment titles:
SKYPILOT for the Chaplain Representative
SKI DOO for the UAV Representative

CANSUPP 1(C) is available electronically but only over DWAN.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

I don't suppose you have a DWAN link?

 

[PuckChaser]

I can email you the PDF tomorrow if you pm me your dwan email.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Done

 

[Loachman]

SKI DOO for the UAV Representative
