Voice Procedure for the Light Infantryman

 

Alternative Colour Scheme

 

As a former Regimental Signals Officer and Signals Instructor I thought it would be useful to knock up a guide to Voice Procedure for all those aspiring milsim groups out there.  VP is not mandatory and every unit will have their own preferences.  However, If done well it not only enhances immersion but also improves tactical command and control.  This guide covers UK and US procedures for low level tactical command nets (Company and Platoon).  It is pitched at the level of a rifleman who has no specialist training, so the more advanced VP used by the likes of Forward Observers and TACP is not included.  I have also tweaked some aspects slightly for the sake of simplicity and to keep it relevant in the context of ArmA.  Although it is specifically aimed at Light Infantry users, it is still relevant for vehicle crews although some details such as call signs would be different.
 
In reality, every unit in the military has variations on Standard Operating Procedures (referred to as Standard Operating Instructions) and ArmA milsim units are no different.  Conventions, habits and variations creep into every unit's way of doing things and that's fine.  However, if you want an insight into how VP is taught "by the book", have a read.  I hope you enjoy it and perhaps get some small measure of use out of it.

Solid copy.

 

Good guide, Friz. I'd be interested to know on an average operation for an Arma unit just how much time is taken up on the net by unneeded filler.

Great guide

Explains the information in a very organized manner.  Unfortunately it took me a long time to find it.  I really like the section about Incorrect Prowords,  it is so common to here many of these in my group.
