Definition
A radio message transmitted to all stations monitoring a particular frequency, essentially a group text message but with more protocol and static. It's how you tell everyone something simultaneously without repeating yourself fifty times.
Example Usage
The battalion commander made a net call announcing the change in operational plans to all company commanders.
Origin
Military radio communications terminology from WWII era when 'net' referred to radio networks
Fun Fact
Net calls must follow strict radio procedures because everyone on the frequency can hear them—it's like accidentally hitting 'reply all' but with tactical implications.
