We need to work on our communication topology when operating multi-crew vehicles. Currently, it's hard to distinguish when the vehicle commander is talking on the LR net or to his crew because of the introduction of ACRE intercom.
We can go by strict com curtesy procedures "1, this is 2, permission to fire" but I'm afraid this change will be too hard to implement. So I suggest the following:
Have all crewmen, including leaders disconnect themselves from the vehicle intercom and from LR racks. Have leaders issue orders to their crew on the SR net, and communicate between leaders and command regularly on the LR net. This way, if hearing an order on voice only (i.e not on the earpiece) the crewmen will know that the communication is not addressing them. What do you think?

The fewer men, the greater share of honor
