The book includes handy references for enlisted and officer specialty classifications; the precedence of awards, decorations, and medals; examples of military-style letters and memoranda; and key Army and DOD website addresses. Essential for soldiers, defense contractors, and civilian employees.

Soldiers, NCOs, and officers need to know more than ever what is being talked about. Misunderstanding can lead to frustration when there’s no one around to ask, or to annoyance and the appearance of ignorance when there is. Neither is conducive to the efficient accomplishment of a mission.
Finding all the tidbits and new terms among the Army’s regulations, field manuals, pamphlets, and circulars is a virtual impossibility for most soldiers and DA civilians. This book pulls together most of the new terms—and even some of the old ones still in common use—that are needed for day-to-day communicating.
