For Mission Makers - Military Brevity Codes

Scoured the net to find these cuz there's no way I could remember them all in one shot in order to compile the list lol!

 

Feel free to add on anything that's left out.

 

I'll update the document and annotate the date of upload.

That's a very comprehensive list of US / NATO codes, thanks for posting it :thumbup: does anyone know if there's a list somewhere of the Russian / Warpack equivalents?

We had the same thing in electronic warfare called "Echo Whiskey 600 codes" We were highly protective of them as we'd get into a crap ton of trouble if what we were saying was exposed since radio etiquette was far more stringent for surface than it was for air lol!

 

Same type of list though except the falcon code is missing "How old is your sister?" :D lol

Falcon 800!

 

DCS: A-10, as we all know, has this random failure "feature", so why don't they add this failure: When in pre-contact position and asking for fuel, the tanker replies "Falcon 137!", and cuts all communication :).

This is basically the same as the doc from the first post, but this is the actual U.S. Military manual for brevity codes in its entirety.

There might be somewhere (cannot confirm this), but they would be extremely sensitive as far as classified material is concerned. The extent to which one side is able to monitor and understand another sides comms signals can never be revealed -- if you can understand even some of it, then you would never want the other side to know that, because then they would just change it up. This isn't just freqs and callsigns here, this would include brevity codes as well. Look up Frank Walker for more.

 

So this is NOT something that is ever going to be released to the public. If it is, then I would suggest to you that there will be some government agents knocking at the front door, and somebody is going to jail.

Hah, that is good. Brings back good memories -- back in the day, the guys I served with had something called 'office brevity' codes, consisting of one letter and one number. So it was like Bravo 3, which meant something like "don't interrupt me while I'm reading the Hockey News, you baffoon!!".... Can't remember then now, but as I recall they were pretty detailed :)

Brevity? Sensitive? From the doc Alpha linked:

 

1. Purpose

This publication will ease coordination and improve understanding during

multi-Service operations. A brevity code is “a code which provides no security

but which has as its sole purpose the shortening of messages rather than the

concealment of their content” (Joint Publication 1-02).

 

 

Nothing sensitive here...

I meant the Red/Warsaw Pact stuff. I doubt you'll find it online.

Googled briefly, but this thread is already in the top 3 for WP Brevity. Nothing there indeed.
