Due to static, background noise or ambient noise it is sometimes difficult to hear clearly what is being said over a radio. In order to avoid time-consuming messages and the need to repeat them to ensure understanding, the military developed words and phrases to keep messages clear and concise. "Roger" over a radio net means that the recipient understands the message. Because of its common use, soldiers often say, "Roger" to indicate that they understand something they are told in person as well.

"A roger" is an acknowledgement of receipt of a radio message, originally military usage but now much used by radio hams. Should not be confused with "to roger". This was common from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, meaning 'to have sexual intercourse'.
Roger does not say anything to Ralph as they approach the "rock castle" in the Lord of the Flies. Instead, Roger silently throws rocks at them from above, demonstrating his cruelty and violent tendencies.
