Army Alphabet ( NATO phonetic alphabet) 

The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alpha, Bravo (NOT BETA), Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.

The NATO phonetic alphabet, more accurately known as the International Radio-telephony Spelling Alphabet and also called the ICAO phonetic or ICAO spelling alphabet, as well as the ITU phonetic alphabet, is the most widely used spelling alphabet, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language or the presence of transmission static.

example Nato Military Alphabet:

November Alpha Tango Oscar...

Mike India Lima India Tango Alpha Romeo Yankee...

To the people who dislike this post. Indio Delta Indigo Oscar Tango is what describes you best.. I know the Phonetic Alphabet is hard for you to decipher. But World War I & World WAR II depended on this alphabet
