Dictionary of Basic Military Terms

Abstract

This dictionary of basic military terms is a reference manual containing tactical, operational and strategic vocabulary. It is intended for officers of all ranks of the Armed Forces, both permanent and reserve. The aim is to give a brief definition of basic military terms, including combined-arms terminology and special military terms, thus helping to eliminate the marked lack of coordination in terminology now observed in the military literature. Besides the basic military terms, the dictionary contains the minimum of political, technical, historical and foreign military terms necessary for a proper understanding of questions pertaining to the military art.
