- ASAP (As Soon As Possible), is an acronym meaning for getting to someone very fast.
Example: KR Six-Four recommend Dom and Marcus to leave the slab ASAP.[1]
- Combat Air Patrol, also known as "CAP", is a type of flying mission for aircraft units.
- A combat air patrol is an aircraft patrol provided over an objective area, over the force protected, over the critical area of a combat zone, or over an air defense area, for the purpose of intercepting and destroying hostile aircraft before they reach their target. Combat air patrols apply to both overland and over water operations, protecting aircraft, fixed and mobile sites on land, and ships at sea.
- Known by the acronym CAP, it typically entails fighters flying a tactical pattern around or screening a defended target, while looking for incoming attackers. Effective CAP patterns may include aircraft positioned at both high and low altitudes, so as to shorten response times when the attack is detected. Modern CAPs are either GCI or AWACS-controlled to provide maximum early warning for defensive reaction.
- E.Z. (Extraction Zone) is an acronym for military aircraft to evac personal.[2]
- Giving it 110%
- Junker is a term used to describe the condition of vehicles as run down or stripped of parts, but still operational.
- Example Laverne is a Junker.
- M.O.U.T. or Military Operations in Urban Terrain is a COG military term for urban combat[3].
- "Like everything in the COG army, there's an acronym for street fighting: M.O.U.T. "Military Operations in Urban Terrain." We just know it means close,personal, and higher casualties. In the Pendulum Wars, some guys couldn't take it. Black outs, freaks outs, suicides. You didn't give 'em shit because its might be you someday. to win M.O.U.T. battles, you need numbers, the manuals advise three to one odds to beat an entrenched urban force. If we're lucky the odds might be three to one day--against."
- — Dom describing what M.O.U.T. is
- RV (Rendezvous) an acronym for to meet at an agreed time and place.[4]
- SOP is the abbreviation of both "Standard Operating Procedure" and "Standing Operating Procedure." Both are used in a variety of different contexts: healthcare, education, industry, military, etc. In military terminology it is used to describe a procedure or set of procedures to perform a given operation or evolution or in reaction to a given event. There is a popular misconception that SOPs are standardized. However, the very nature of an SOP is that it is not standardized across a large military element (such as a corps or division) but rather describes the unique operating procedure of a smaller unit (such as a battalion or company) within that larger element. That the operating procedure in question is said to be "standing" indicates that it is in effect until further notice, at which time it may be amended or dissolved.[5] Sgt.Bernadette Mataki was known to follow SOP by the book.

- S.O.S.' an distress signal[7].
- Tango-One is a Gear Military term for a soldier with life threatening wounds that can still be helped by field medics.[8]
- Tango-Two is a Gear Military term for a soldier with non-lethal (or atleast not immediately lethal) wounds that isn't able to fight.[9]
- Tango-Three is a Gear military term for a lightly wounded soldier that can still fight, no medical attention needed at the moment.[10]
- Tango-Four is the Gear Military code for a deceased soldier, and so no medic is needed.[11].
- Wilco is a radio response acknowledging a command and expressing the command will be followed. Wilco is a contraction for Will Comply.
