perspective of a non-military language teacher or translator.

• Terms contained in ATP-3.2.1 but not listed in AAP-6 could primarily be taken from JP 1-02.

• Unless listed there, they could be taken from FM 1-02.• Unless listed in AAP-6, JP 1-02, FM 1-02 or similar national

documents, terms are quoted with no definition.• Terms quoted with no definition in any of the proposed
