This revision of Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 1-02 compiles definitions of all Army terms approved for use in Army doctrinal publications (Army doctrine publications [ADPs], ADRPs, field manuals [FMs], and Army techniques publications [ATPs]) as of June 2013. ADRP 1-02 also lists shortened forms (whether considered acronyms or abbreviations) approved for use in Army doctrinal publications. In addition, unlike the 2012 edition of ADRP 1-02, this revision incorporates joint terms appearing in the glossaries of Army doctrinal publications, as of June 2013. This publication’s name has been updated to reflect the inclusion of these joint terms. Moreover, the Army’s terminology and symbology database, which was under development in 2012, now augments this publication. ADRP 1-02 also provides a single standard for developing and depicting hand drawn and computer generated military symbols for situation maps, overlays, and annotated aerial photographs for all types of military operations. It is the Army proponent publication for all military symbols and complies with Department of Defense (DOD) Military Standard (MIL-STD) 2525C. The symbology chapters of this ADRP focus primarily on military symbols applicable to Army land operations. When communicating instructions to subordinate units, commanders and staffs from company through corps level should use this publication as a dictionary of operational terms and military symbols. ADRP 1-02 is organized as follows: Chapter 1 presents terms. Chapter 2 presents acronyms and abbreviations. Chapter 3 introduces military symbology basics. Chapters 4 through 7 provide icons for units, individuals, organizations, equipment, installations, and activities. Chapter 8 introduces control measure symbols.
