v1.01
When needing to speak to the leader of an element specifically, and not anyone else on net who may take transmissions for the call-sign (Platoon Sergeant/Radio Operators etc.), append ACTUAL after the element's call-sign.
Example:
ALPHA 1: ‘Alpha 9, Alpha 1’
9 is busy dealing with a direct conversation, so 8 takes the message
ALPHA 8: ‘Alpha 1, Alpha 8, Send’
1 needs to tell 9 something directly to ensure they have heard and understood
ALPHA 1: ‘Alpha 9 Actual, Alpha 1, urgent’
…
ALPHA 9: ‘Alpha 1, Alpha 9, Send’
