Operation
"We've Got Their Six!"
The phrase “We’ve Got Their Six” originated with World War I fighter pilots. They used directions to correspond with hours on the clock, where 12 o’clock was forward and 6 o’clock was behind.
This phrase means “We’ve got your back”. It highlights loyalty and cooperation, letting someone know that you will be around to help them in any way you can.
