I am looking for someone who has recently deployed, in the previous years. I know that we have brevity codes for our 9-line but I am from the school of logic that uses plain talk to relay the information. Primarily to prevent a mistake in the transmission of the information.

What did you use when you deployed?

*I appreciate any input but I am primarily looking for those we recent combat experience in the past couple years. I am trying to focus on current TTPs.

There is a reason that these codes were developed, STANDARDIZATION, that way there tends to be no confusion.

In 2011-2012 when we called ours we would use the standard format, but plain English.

Brevity-codes can confuse the other guy, only use them with people you know and trust. For redundancy, you can do both, the letter code followed by the plain english e.g. Line 8: 2 A ISAF Mil

I have seen a mix of both. I haven't deployed to OEF recently, the last couple of years, but I have been hearing that. It makes sense to me.

On those unfortunate occurences, we used the brevity codes. A standardized, simple code system that is the SOP for U.S. Army units alleviates most, if not all, confusion in order to get those guys out of there.
