DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms Paperback – August 22, 2020

Revised November 2021 - Includes Air Force Glossary

The must-have resource for anyone interested in the U.S. military or doing research on the subject. Released in August 2021, this dictionary is as current as it gets. It includes standard US military and associated terminology to encompass the joint activity of the Armed Forces of the United States. These military and associated terms, together with their definitions, constitute approved Department of Defense (DOD) terminology for general use by all DOD components. We added the May 2021 Air Force Glossary.

Why buy a book you can download? We print the paperback book so you don’t have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it’s just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it’s 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It’s much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com

We include a Table of Contents on the back cover for quick reference. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don’t have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 ½ by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a SDVOSB. https://usgovpub.com
