Details

Terminology forms a foundation for common understanding, and therefore builds interoperability. The 2012 direction by Chief of the Defence Staff and Permanent Under Secretary to 바카라 사이트˜put NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) at the heart of Defence바카라 사이트™, has also been adhered to for terminology. Defence personnel should use agreed terminology whenever possible in their work. Aligning with NATO, there is a hierarchy of terms and definitions we should use, which is:

바카라 사이트¢ Concise Oxford English Dictionary;

바카라 사이트¢ NATOTerm; and then

바카라 사이트¢ Joint Doctrine Publication (JDP) 0-01.1, UK Terminology Supplement to NATOTerm.

There is more detailed information on terminology and how it is developed in chapter three of the Writers바카라 사이트™ Handbook
