This Visual Dictionary for Military Applications is meant for the use by soldiers in joint/multi-national areas of operation. This series of visual dictionaries is designed to fill a niche within international military operations. They are designed for Special Operations Forces (SOF), Military Training Teams (MTT), (Long Range) Combat Patrols, UN missions, and Joint Operations where a multitude of militaries from a wide range of national and cultural backgrounds have to operate under one unified command.

 

Many times these units/soldiers have neither trained together, nor do they have a common doctrine, let alone a common vocabulary. Most of the time only a small fraction of the soldiers in any unit speak a foreign language. Our dictionaries are based on U.S. and NATO doctrine and verbiage and can aid the user(s) in learning each other’s jargon and military terminologies. The terms and symbols used are in compliance with U.S. Army Doctrine Reference Publication FM 1-02.2, May 2022, Military Symbols and STANAG APP-6(C), NATO Joint Military Symbology.

 

Unlike electronic translation aids, our dictionaries do not break easily, need no batteries, and require no internet connection.

 

This dictionary gives the soldier the most commonly used words, phrases, and diagrams; enough to plan and execute a mission.

 

The most common uses for our dictionaries are:

 

  • Identification of tactical symbols and maneuver control graphics

 

  • Identification of commonly used weapons, equipment and their major parts

 

  • Use as a “pointie talkie”
