DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS
Foreword
This comprehensive list of intelligence abbreviations and acronyms includes those used presently, as well as those in use for approximately the last ten years. Sources for this list include the last DIA Lexicon published in 1991, numerous glossaries from Unified Command and Combat Support Agency documents, and contributions, from the faculty of the Joint Military Intelligence College. The expansion of any item may vary somewhat from one organization to another, but this list will hopefully contribute to greater standardization.
This editor is indebted to kSgt Hannah Reddy (USA) and SSgt Angela Wimbush (USAF) of the College, who spent many hours in collating this list. Debbie Linesberry of the U.S. Special Operations Command collaborated by adding that command’s most frequently used acronyms. 2LT Vincent Littrell (USAF) and SFC Mark McCurry (USA) helped ensure that the list contains as few errors as possible, and the editor extends his thanks for that dedicated assistance.
All users are invited to submit additions and corrections. To promote the usefulness of the list, older or superseded acronyms will be discarded only if their retention would create confusion. This list is also published under the JMIC home page on Intelink, where it will be updated regularly. Readers are urged to send new acronyms or abbreviations by mail to: Defense Intelligence Agency, Joint Military Intelligence College, MC Attn: Dr. R. Swenson, Bolling AFB, Washington, DC 20340-5100: by Ingternet to [email protected], or by Fax to (202) 231-2171.
