| Numeral Pronunciation |
| Numbers are important in military messages And should
be spoken clearly in telephone and radio conversations. The pronunciation of numerals should be exaggerated to avoid misunderstanding
by the receiving party. Each digit of large numbers is pronounced separately except in the case of even "hundreds" and "thousands." | |
