Glossary of Standard Military Terms
Hey, this thread is going to have some Military terms and abreviations so that you can use them in game. Also, if i put this in the wrong area please move it.
1)ASP-ammunition supply point
2)CAS-close air support
3)Defilade-a natural depression in the terrain that can be used for protection against direct fire weapons.(HAT/LAT/Tanks)
4)FMTV-a large type of cargo truck collectively know as the "Family of medium tactical vehicles"
5)FOB-Forward operating base, the HQ that commands and controls teams in the field
6)FTX-Field Training exercise
7)IMBTR-New squad radio used by the army marine corps (VOIP in game)
8)JDAM-Join Direct Attack Munition(a tail kit that turns a dumb bomb into a GPS based navigational computer and control fins
9)MICH-Modular Integrated Communications Helmet
10)MSS-Mission support site, a temporary base of operations near the objective
11)NODs-Night observation devices also known as NVG(night vision goggles)
12)RTB-Return to base
13)SOFLAM-Special Operations Forces Laser Marker, a pointing device used to desighnate targets or other objects of interest
14)TACP-Tactical air controller party (usually two men teams that call in CAS)
