"900+ Military Terms For Recruits, Cadets, Veterans..." This Survival Book is designed to educate and familiarize military newcomers and even veterans to military terms, abbreviations and acronyms used throughout planning, preparation and execution of training & combat missions and terminology used while associated with the Army Way of Life. Let me give you some examples of military terminology: 2nd Chance Vest---A vest (front & back) designed to stop bullets and shrapnel. Small ceramic plates and bigger plates can be added to the vest for added protection. Airborne---A term used for units that are on Jump\Airborne Status. This requires that the units successfully complete Airborne School (parachute infiltration) at Ft. Benning GA, followed by assignment to an Airborne unit (82nd Airborne Division, Ranger Battalions, Special Forces...). Automatic Pilot---Repetitive training where your combat actions (offensive or defensive) are automatic no matter your position within the patrol or no matter your leadership position within the patrol and no matter how fatigued - you and your fellow soldiers are, you're on "Automatic Pilot." Black Ops---Black Operations who's sponsor, mission and the operators are unknown. As of 2022, an estimated $50 Billion Dollars a year are spent on Black Ops via research and clandestine & covert operations. CAS---Close Air Support. Support fires by attack helicopter gunships, jet aircraft, A-10 gunships, ... that engage enemy targets close to friendly ground troops. Coca-Cola Colonels---During WWII, 148 Coca-Cola representatives were actually commissioned U.S. Army Officers (nicknamed Coca-Cola Colonels). Their sole job was to get nice cold Coca-Colas to as many deserving thirsty American GIs as possible. Cold Load---This is the opposite of a Hot Load. A Cold Load is military personnel boarding an aircraft that is already static at a location and the engines are not running. CQB---Close Quarter Combat.
