"My Callsign complete"

[silentghoust 132]

Is this saying realistic to real military jargon? I asked a few vets in the U.S army and they say it's possible but not with their service. Is it just something BI made up or is it specific for a branch of military? Also what does it exactly entitle? I mean the jist I get is it's objective complete, but they also seem to mention it when they simply are in position.

"Raider, my callsign complete" = My unit, callsign Raider, all present and accounted for at current objective/waypoint. 

 

BIS also used the term "Recce" which is more of a British/Irish word for recon. Had to explain both to Americans friends lol

So what if they have casualties? Also has any vets actually heard this phrased used in real life? If so were?

As an infantryman vet I never heard this over the radio.  Never heard it in any commo class either.  

 

However, slatts has obviously heard it so its used somewhere.

CTRG is a multi-national task force set up by NATO so it's not too far fetched for BI to have them use jargon that's compatible for use with European armies not just exclusive to the U.S. military.

I thought CTRG was primarily made up of British units, so having no US Military jargon is correct.

Group 14 has mostly British operators but Group 15; more specifically Raider 1 is clearly American.

 

The Raider 2 operatives (player team) could be any nationality of course, given that your identities are deliberately left ambiguous and you never hear them speak any dialogue throughout the campaign anyway.

Now we just need some Australia and Irish radio protocol. :D

Northstar who I believe is the NATO commander in the Apex campaign has a clear Australian accent.

While we are at it. Anyone can tell me what exactly "Alpha Victors" means, when HQ speaks about enemies? Quote:

 

 

We've got reports of enemy alpha victors in your AO.

 

Or is this just a random callsign / code word of some sorts?

[IndeedPete 1038]

Armed Vehicles I'd guess. Or maybe Armoured Vehicles?

[lexx 1364]

Yeah, that would make sense. Checked out the dialogue again and it is followed by "All teams, be advised, Nomad's handling the enemy Gorgon at Kappa. Out." - with that in mind, it now seems obvious to me. :>

It’s mostly a British service thing as far as I know. I’ve heard lads with bowmans IRL say it and heard many times on “Royal Marines mission Afghanistan”.
