Alliance Special Forces hand signals

Alliance Special Forces hand signals constituted a sign language used by Alliance Special Forces which were used both in stealth situations and combat situations where verbal communication, and the use of comlinks, were difficult or impossible.

Hand signals

Alliance Special Force units often developed sets of hand signals of their own, and thus the exact same hand signals where not universally used among all Special Forces units. However, some of the most commonly used hand signals were:

• 
  "Ambush ahead"
• 
  "Attack indicated target"
• 
  "Attention"
• 
  "Bypass threat"
• 
  "Enemy number"
• 
  "Enemy sighted"
• 
  "Freeze"
• 
  "Go"
• 
  "Go there"
• 
  "Halt"
• 
  "Sensor ahead"
• 
  "Surround indicated target"
• 
  "Trap ahead"
• 
  "You"
