Other way around.  ABLE BAKER is the US military version and the only
people who seem to still use it are certain Police departements (at
least in California as seen on TV :-) ).   ALPHA BRAVO is the international
phonetic alphabet and is used currently by all serious radio communicators.
Our local police department seems to have invented there own, they always
use the same words, but they don't match either of those schemes.
