FIGURES
PROWORDNumerals or numbers follow.
On air
“Figures: two four. Over.”
“Number of casualties, figures: three, all walking. Over.”
“Ammunition remaining, figures: one five zero rounds. Over.”
“Vehicle number, figures: seven seven two. Over.”
In conversation
Use figures before numbers inside a text, so nobody hears them as words.
