Yanks ones? It's NATO codes! Btw, pages don't write themselves, nor is there a single person somewhere decididng what goes on Wikipedia - many editors contribute, and anyone can add information, provided they follow Wikipedia policy. If you have reliable sources detailing the brevity codes of other nations, feel free to add them here, or perhaps discuss some new articles for theme, as this one is quite lengthy already. -

Well, as an unvarnished list of jargon, it's bound to be kind of.... jargonish. However, wikilinks to pages that explain the concepts behind the jargon may be a painless way to ease that a bit. (I just did that by making the word "semiactive" into a wikilink into
Semi-active radar homing, to clear up a "clarify" tag.) Also, some of the explanations are in military argot; I bet a clever editor could come up with a concise plain-language replacement for some of those.--

Just a quick remark to the effect that many of these codes are emphatically not of US origin. Example: "Buster", whose entry reads ′Buster - Directive call to fly at maximum continuous speed′ ... dates to the Battle of Britain. Specifically, this called on pilots to thrust the throttle lever past the usual maximum power, busting a cellophane seal, to what was described as "Full Military Power".

Classified?
Shouldn't this page be considered classified, since it refers to codewords in military operations and such? (In fact, a lot of things on the internet should be classified, such as satellite photos of military bases, the exact numbers of troops and jets at every base, etc.) Why do you need spies when you have wikipedia? I have a friend of mine stationed in Alaska and he says he can't tell me the exact number of jets and such at his base, because he says it's confidential, but yet I can go on wiki and find it quite easily. *sigh* This entire article along with the information of numbers and such should be deleted because if servicemen can't talk about them under penalty of discharge and prison, then they shouldn't be on the Internet for all to see. --

Where do you get the idea that these are classified? The references cited are "Approved for public release; distribution unlimited". Please don't be an alarmist without doing some research (or, as you would perhaps call it, "spying")

Two things: First, any seemingly telling information that you can find on Wikipedia is already somewhere else on the internet. Control is impossible and pointless to pursue. Second, I don't care what the number for active jets in AK is; the true number sure as hell isn't on Wikipedia. What the military tells us and what is actually the case are very often two (or more) different things. For instance, do you really think they filled in all of those perfectly good nuclear silos in Italy?

Unfortunately, the current Multi-Service Brevity Codes doc (2010?) appears to be restricted. At least not available without an AKO/CAC/whatever login. Maybe someone with actual credentials could check the distribution statement and see if we can get proper citing here? Otherwise, might want to think about making a note for that ref.

I have just modified 2 external links on
Multiservice tactical brevity code. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit
this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Meanwhile, the last striker called “Millertime,” meaning he was going to drop, so OCA was technically no longer required.
That term doesn't appear in this article or in the FM 1-02.1 OPERATIONAL TERMS document. The term may be specific to US Air Force operations, and/or may be an older term no longer used.

I would say if you can find multiple
WP:RS then you could maybe start a discussion about inclusion. But I've never heard "MillerTime" as an official brevity code.

"MILLER TIME" is listed in the NATO UNCLASSIFIED Standard APP-7 (Joint Brevity Words), as meaning "Completion of air-ground ordnance delivery". The FM 1-02 document refers to the US Air Force interpretation of the NATO Standard.

"ASW" typically (in NATO usage) refers to anti-submarine, with "ASuW/ASUW" being anti-surface. This also applies here, with the term "Bloodhound" being listed as "MAR-ASW" (Maritime Operations Anti-Submarine Warfare) in its source document, the NATO Joint Brevity Words Publication. It should probably be clarified in the article for the casual reader. –
