Easy Company

Easy Company

Easy Company stands for the alphabetic letter "E", was the phonetic designation of the fifth company in a battalion of any given Army regiment before the adoption of the NATO standard alphabet.

Regiments in the US military traditionally assign their companies alphabetical designations (e.g. the fifth company is Company E). During World War II, this would have been pronounced Easy Company according to the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet. This differs from modern conventions, which use the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Today, E Company would be Echo Company.
