Pelicans receive serial numbers to be identified by during radio transmissions, particularly in combat situations. Each serial number consists of a letter from the [[Phonetic Alphabet]] followed by a number. Though a few Pelicans have this number inscribed on their cargo bays, most have no distinguishing mark on their exteriors | The air frame of the Pelican allows them to carry heavy objects underneath their tail booms. Common carry items include an [[M12 Warthog]], [[M808 Scorpion]] tank, [[troop deployment pod]]s or [[resupply canister]]s. | ||
