“Hitman ‘actual’” stands for the Team leader of the fireteam “Hitman”.. All teams and units, armor, vehicles in military processing have codenames, each unit/ team etc. has a person in charge or someone who makes the decisive situations for that unit. They would be the “Actual” for that unit.

Can you explain what each type of unit is?
Like snipers, Automatic Rifleman, enemies, friendlies
If tango means enemy ground unit, and bogey means enemy air, what is enemy sea-based?

Egress is a unique bird that was featured in PT Barnum's American Museum.

No, really, Egress is a term for exiting. Ingress is going in, egress is coming out.

What’s egress?
“Hitman Two Actual, this is Hitman Two One. This is accurate mortar fire. Request permission to egress.”

Grenade is shouted for incoming grenades, “frag (or what kind of grenade it is) out!” is shouted for outgoing grenades. So Grenade = RUN, frag out = heads up
