Appointment Titles
Earlier systems used a series of appointment titles to identify users and individuals, "Sunray", for instance, referring to the appropriate leader. Titles such as "Sunray" and (Sunray) Minor are still used. There are several appointment titles, such as "Ironside" which are no longer used by the British Army. Several other armed forces still use appointment titles, including the Austrailian army.
| Ser | Appointment | title |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Commander(Battalion, Company, Platoon) | SUNRAY |
| 2 | Second-in-command | SUNRAY MINOR |
| 3 | Adjuant | SEAGULL |
| 4 | Intellegence Officer | ACCORN |
| 5 | Quartermaster | MOLAR |
| 6 | Armour | IRONSIDE |
| 7 | Artillery | SHELLDRAKE |
| 8 | Engineer | HOLDFAST |
| 9 | Signals | PRONTO |
| 10 | Infantry | FOXHOUND |
Due to the predictable nature of some of these, such as "SHELLDRAKE", all but SUNRAY and MINOR were removed from use in the British Army.
