Also called a spelling alphabet or a phonetic alphabet, (not to be confused with the entirely different International Phonetic Alphabet,) this is a system of assigning to each letter of the alphabet a word that begins with that letter. This way, if something has to be spelled over a radio, telephone, etc. there is much less chance of the wrong information being transmitted. The military, police departments and radio operators all make frequent use of this. Phone-based customer service and technical support also use it, but with more informal construction (any word will do), for the same reasons. (The formal ones specifically pick words themselves which all sound distinct from all the others with poor sound quality.) The most common alphabets are shown below, from A to Z. NATO/ICAO WWII (US) WWII (UK) APCO Project 2 (used by LAPD)Alfanote spelled this way to avoid mispronunciationAbleAble/AffirmAdamBravoBakerBakerBoyCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieDeltaDogDogDavidEchoEasyEasyEdwardFoxtrotFoxFoxFrankGolfGeorgeGeorgeGeorgeHotelHowHowHenryIndiaItemItem/InterrogatoryIdaJuliettnote spelled this way to avoid mispronunciation JigJig/JohnnyJohnKiloKingKingKingLimaLoveLoveLincolnMikeMikeMikeMaryNovemberNanNab/NegatNoraOscarOboeOboeOceanPapaPeterPeter/PrepPaulQuebecQueenQueenQueenRomeoRogerRogerRobertSierraSugarSugarSamTangoTareTareTomUniformUncleUncleUnionVictorVictorVictorVictorWhiskeyWilliamWilliamWilliamX-RayX-RayX-RayX-RayYankeeYokeYokeYoungZuluZebraZebraZebraThe NATO version is near universal in the modern age, because it is also used for civil aviation throughout the whole world (for which English is the only official language). In addition, if the NATO system is being used, expect the digit 3 to be pronounced "tree"; 4 to be pronounced "fo-wer" to distinguish from "for", 5 to be pronounced "fife" so it won't be confused with "fire"; and 9 to be pronounced "niner", to keep it distinct from "nein", German for "no" (as well as from "five," as the two are indistinguishable otherwise over a distorted signal). This is used almost exclusively in modern military shows. Non-military shows which use it will usually stick to A-E, since they are more recognizable. Exclusively military shows tend to use more of the letters. Military units will sometimes use one of the letters as their designation (for example, 'Bravo Company'). Individual personnel may refer to themselves or others in the military alphabet over radios; "Echo-6-Charlie" would be someone whose pay-grade is E-6, with a last name beginning with the letter C. (Alternately, the number is code for a position within the unit. 6 usually is the commander.) Other languages may have their own similar alphabet systems. Examples |

In Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island, Nancy finds a letter telling a story that makes no sense, but incorporates many alphabetic terms. Read on their own, the terms spell out a brief message that's the true meaning of the letter. Fortunately for non-military players, there's a postcard around that explains this trope. | |

The TV show Adam-12 was named for the LAPD patrol car with the call sign "Adam-12 (A-12)" that the cops rode in. "Adam" (A) was the designation for two-officer patrol units. Other unit designations you often hear are "King" (K) for unmarked cars used by detectives, "Mary" (M) for motorcycle units, and "X-ray" (X) for a second set of two-person patrol units (likely to mean auxiliary or secondary units with less-seasoned officers—rookies in later seasons are frequently in X-ray units). Also, there's a frequent subversion: calling the letter "L" instead of "Lincoln" for a single-occupant unit (usually driven by supervisors like sergeants). In the opening, you can hear the dispatcher (who was real-life LAPD dispatcher Shaaron Claridge) requesting reports on auto license plates, spelled out using the LAPD phonetic alphabet. |

Operation Flashpoint makes heavy use of the NATO phonetic alphabet. The topographical maps of the each of the game's islands are partitioned into squares with letters along the top and bottom and numbers down the sides. Combined these letters and numbers form map references and the letters are pronounced over the radio as their phonetic equivalents, so a squad leader might order his men to "Go to Delta Foxtrot Two Five", for example. The words are also often used as codenames to identify the various squads. "Alpha" through "Echo" are usually used to refer to infantry squads, "Yankee" usually refers to a tank platoon, the helicopter gunships are usually "November" and so on. | |

Also used in the BattleTech Expanded Universe novels, particularly those by Victor Milan, here various soldiers use the phonetic alphabet to swear colorfully without offending the editors. One popular example is "Sierra Foxtrot,"note Shit's Fucked! which is often used as a noun, adjective, and interjection by the very earthy 17th Recon Regiment. | |

Schlock Mercenary: Various examples, but in one comic, after getting some unexpected heavy fire support from an off-screen character, Tagon angrily informs him that it is rude to "fire into someone else's Charlie Foxtrot without asking permission first". Charlie Foxtrot being 20th century American military slang for "Cluster Fuck" (and, evidently, 30th century mercenary slang for the same concept).

BattleTech briefly used this to describe the configurations of Inner Sphere OmniMechs, starting with "Prime" for the main configuration and using the NATO alphabet for subsequent configurations. However, when configurations started skipping letters in the sequence, they dropped this entirely in favor of the regular alphabet. Also used in the BattleTech Expanded Universe novels, particularly those by Victor Milan, here various soldiers use the phonetic alphabet to swear colorfully without offending the editors. One popular example is "Sierra Foxtrot,"note Shit's Fucked! which is often used as a noun, adjective, and interjection by the very earthy 17th Recon Regiment. |

The Call of Duty series, specifically Modern Warfare and its sequels, are credited with popularizing a number of NATO alphabet phrases among American teenagers. Most notably, the use of "Tango" to mean "target", "Oscar Mike" for "on the move", and the title of one Modern Warfare 2 mission, "Whiskey Hotel", to mean White House (though this last one may or may not actually be used by the military). | |

The Colonial Fleet in Battlestar Galactica uses this, with a couple space-flavored differences: "Constellation" and "Nebula". Only ten letters are known from the show, but the RPG sourcebooks expand on this with the entire alphabet.

The foxes (who were uplifted and trained as spies by persons unknown for reasons unknown) use an alphabet that is mostly the WWII UK version, including for their names. But the main fox character in What Abigail Did That Summer is named Indigo, which is the UK police version. When Abigail asks why they use this version, Indigo simply replies that this is the version they know. |
