History of the military alphabet

The alphabet for military use is also called the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet (IRSA). It was created by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The IRSA is used to spell out words and letters via radio. This helps avoid confusion between words that have similar sounds. The first official version of the military alphabet was approved in 1927, although a version was used as early as 1913. The current version, also known as the NATO alphabet and used by the nations of NATO was approved in the year 1957.

The military alphabet was used during World War II

In World War II, the United States military used a modified version of the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet (JANAP). The alphabet was adopted in 1941, and in use until 1957, which was the year it was officially discontinued by the IRSA. Today the only parts of the JANAP WWII-era alphabet still in use include “Charlie,” “Mike,” “Victor” and “X-Ray.”
