The primary duty of the Navajo Code Talkers was to use their language to communicate with the commanders and the troops and Naval Ships. Their language was not all in written form and they did not have words like bomb, ship, ammunition, etc. They used words that would describe something: for example bird for plane or eagle for bomber (made up since the code is classified still and used still). They were also fighters and Morse Code senders on radios. They used many forms of radios. There was a Choctaw Code in World War 1 and that is where they got the idea to use the Navajo language since the Japanese could not understand it.

They used radios. The whole point of the code that with a code talker on each end in a battle one could use open radio communication to send and receive real time commands and the enemy could not understand it.

The navajo language in WWII was used as a code for radio to ships so the Japanese would not know how to call in artillery on American Men.
