All terms and definitions are directly from the DOD dictionary (updated May 2011) and are the official US DOD or NATO definition.
From DOD: This publication supplements standard English-language dictionaries and standardizes military and associated terminology to improve communication and mutual understanding within DOD, with other federal agencies, and among the United States and its allies.
