Why was the protagonist unit in the TV series "Band of Brothers" named 'Easy Company'?
Correct answer: 'Easy' is the code word for letter 'E' in the phonetic alphabet
aj
Echo is the code word of the letter E in the phonetic alphabet

The explanation of phonetic alphabets is accurate. The NATO phonetic alphabet replaced the American alphabet. The words are considered more international. Any piece about World War II (Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Sands of Iwo Jima, etc.) will use the old system.

As a radio operator of many years i have neve heard of anything but Echo for e.
I don't see why anybody would try to confuse things by changing any of the code words.
Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel.

Chocmum, I agree with AJ, echo is what they've used the majority of the time so not sure why they would list something that was only for a few years, as that's misleading
