Swedish Vehicle Callsign Identifiers
There exists a somewhat common practice in the Swedish Army for vehicle crews to apply some paint/tape to their vehicles to indicate what their callsign is, presumably to make coordination easier and avoid miscommunication.
System
These callsigns are specified in what is called a FAL-A (Fasta Anropssignaler för Lägre förband inom Armén) sheet. Not all of these callsigns are used in practice, for example; a rifle platoon does not commonly contain 9 squads, even though they exist on FAL-A.
Each (tactically common) callsign is suffixed by the first letter of the parent organization callsign.
| Prefix | Unit | Prefix | Unit | Prefix | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P | HQ Company | A | 1st Platoon | E | 1st Squad |
| Q | 1st Company | B | 2nd Platoon | F | 2nd Squad |
| R | 2nd Company | C | 3rd Platoon | G | 3rd Squad |
| S | 3rd Company | D | 4th Platoon | H | 4th Squad |
| T | 4th Company | E | 5th Platoon | I | 5th Squad |
