Acronym List

Confused about an acronym? We've all been there. This comprehensive list provided here shows the most common acronyms used on our website. Note that we do not include acronyms found in articles or other dynamic content. This list just shows the acronyms and abbreviations used for our static content. Not all acronyms are presently used - some are used in a historic context and may no longer be valid, but their display here is still relevant. Acronyms that have multiple definitions will be denoted with their context and use described.

In most cases, acronyms will be shown on pages in parenthesis the first time they are used with the definition used in a sentence prior.

Just because an acronym appears here with a specific definition also doesn't mean it maintains that definition across other branches or even within the Army itself.
