FOREWORD

16 November 2011

Standardization of military terminology provides for effective communication within the Department of Defense (DOD). Marine Corps acronyms, terms, and definitions that have been accepted for joint usage are included in Joint Publication (JP) 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, (the primary reference for military terms throughout DOD as directed in DOD Directive 5025.12, Standardization of Military and Associated Terminology).

Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 5-12C, Marine Corps Supplement to the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, is an extension of JP 1-02 and provides Marine Corps-specific terms and definitions. This publication and JP 1-02 should be used in conjunction with each other. Term, definitions, and acronyms contained in MCRP 5-12C come directly from the Marine Corps doctrinal, warfighting, and reference publications. Where JP 1-02 terms are amplified with Marine Corpsspecific definitions, the accompanying acronyms are included in this publication, regardless of their inclusion in JP 1-02.

This publication will be maintained in an online format only. As new Marine Corps doctrinal, warfighting, and reference publications are signed or standing publications are revised, approved doctrinal terminology contained in those publication will be added to the online version of this publication.

This publication supersedes MCRP 5-12C dated 23 July 1998.

Reviewed and approved this date.
