DWReese is right on. The below LUA code was created before the "reference point circle" feature was added to CMO/CMANO.
I don't recall who created it but it lets you assign any number of reference points around a given unit and, allows you to name them as you like. I've found that 12 works very well and have used this code extensively.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function draw_circle(a, b, First_Pt, Last_Pt, Num_Pts, txt) -- ([lat,lon], First_Pt, Last_Pt, Number_of_Pointsts, name)
if txt == nil then
txt = ""
end
lat1 = a.latitude
lon1 = a.longitude
r = b / 60
-----
for i = First_Pt, Last_Pt do -- Consecutive integer numbers
th = 2 * math.pi * i / Num_Pts
rlat = lat1 + r * math.cos(th)
rlon = lon1 + r * math.sin(th) / math.cos(math.rad(lat1))
ScenEdit_AddReferencePoint({
side = 'PlayerSide',
lat = rlat,
lon = rlon,
name = txt..i,
highlighted = "yes"})
end
end
---------------------------------------------------
Owner = "Appropriate Side Name"
Unit_Name = "Appropriate Unit Name"
Radius =1
Number_of_Points = 12
First_Pt = 00
Last_Pt = 11
Point_Names = "AAW Patrol Zone-"
---------------------------------------------------
local unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({side=Owner, name=Unit_Name})
draw_circle({latitude=unit.latitude, longitude=unit.longitude}, Radius, First_Pt, Last_Pt, Number_of_Points, Point_Names)
---------------------------------------------------
