Tactical Call Signs are realigned by Wing HQ

The Wing Communications Department has asked all of the Groups to change their call signs. Here are the new protocol directives and current tactical calls per unit;

Any three digit call sign Ending with a 1 will indicate a Commander.
Any three digit call sign ending in a 2 will indicate a Deputy Commander.
Any three digit call sign Ending in a 4 will indicate a Communications Officer.
Any three digit call sign ending in a 0 will indicate a squadron vehicle.
Any 1 - 2 digit call signs will remain as Wing staff numbers.

Also, all FIXED base stations will be assigned a "900" series number for Example, the 96th at the Stow Armory will have a base call sign of Columbus 941, 9 indicating a fixed base station, 4 indicating Group 4, and 1 since it's the first one in the group. Since Group 4 HQ and the 96th are in the same location, they will share the same call sign.
