A form of communication used by a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) in the military to get Close Air Support onto a target. Not like the stupid "We need air support!" bullshit in movies. Each "Line" is a statement of brevity that represents information given to the pilot. 1st line is IP/BP to target, etc.
the 9 line is passed off to the pilot, who then reads back lines 4, 6, and 8. After that, the JTAC will pass on additional info or remarks, before a "Talk on" (basically the JTAC and pilot communicating to ensure that they are on target) Following the talk on the pilot makes their "IN" call before being cleared hot to drop ordnance. Then, boom. Shit blows up I guess.
