Easy Company
Encyclopedia : E : EA : EAS : Easy Company
- For the DC Comics military unit led by Sgt. Rock see Easy Company (comics)
Regiments in the US military traditionally assign their companies alphabetical desigations (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.
