Audio/Radio - by way of using the Morse code.

The entire Army Alphabet terminology is made of English words and letters, and allows letters and numbers to be transmitted for communication between parties. Although the alphabet has changed several times over the decades and old versions which were in effect prior and during WW2 / World War 2 in years 1913, 1927 and 1938, the present and official modern day phonetic alphabet was adopted in 1957 and is still being used today in it's current form.
