What is the phonetic alphabet code associated with the letter R?

The phonetic alphabet, also known as the NATO phonetic alphabet, is a standardized system that assigns code words to the letters of the English alphabet to ensure clarity and understanding in verbal communication, especially in noisy environments or over radio transmissions. The code word associated with the letter R is "Romeo."

This designation helps avoid miscommunication that could arise from similar-sounding letters, such as "B" (Bravo) and "D" (Delta), which could easily be confused. By using "Romeo" for R, it provides a distinctive and non-ambiguous alternative when spelling out a word or communicating sensitive information. The selection of "Romeo" is not only effective but also memorable, making it a fundamental part of the phonetic alphabet used by military, aviation, and various other communications sectors worldwide.
