military acronyms and jargon
I got a comment about military acronyms. I hadn't realized that I used them as much as I did in that particular post. I figured I would put some of them up here, and everyone can add their own in the comments.
ORP - OBJECTIVE RALLY POINT
CCP - CASUALTY COLLECTION POINT
QRF - QUICK REACTION FORCE
TCP - TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT
EPW - ENEMY PRISONER OF WAR
KIA - KILLED IN ACTION
LP/OP - LISTENING POST OBSERVATION POST
MOUT - MILITARY OPERATIONS IN URBAN TERRAIN
COMMEX
- COMMUNICATIONS EXERCISE
ANCD - AUTOMATED NET CONTROL DEVICE
OPFOR - OPPOSING FORCE
COB - CIVILIAN ON THE BATTLEFIELD
STX - SITUATIONAL TRAINING EXERCISE
FTX - FIELD TRAINING EXERCISE
NBC - NUCLEAR BIOLOGICAL CHEMICAL
CS - CHLOROH... CHLOROHRDRA... UHHH... TEAR GAS
There are a million more. We could do a whole post on army slang and jargon pretty easily too. If you have a favorite military way of saying something and I haven't heard it before you will win a ... well, nothing. But I might use it on a Private someday.
