JSOU SOF Abbreviations/Acronyms

1

This list of abbreviations/acronyms gives the shortened forms that have been used in SOF-related

documents. Because updates to this list reflect not only additions but corrections, it is a reference only

when introducing a shortened form. If Joint Publication 1-02 shows a different introduction, it usually

takes precedence. The point of contact for updating and posting the current list is the JSOU Press editor;

submit changes/additions to

[email protected]

. As the list is updated, you will find it at

https://sof.socom.mil/sites/JSOU/JSOU_S/jsoupress/Guidance%20for%20Authors/Forms/AllItems.aspx

.

Our objective is to use a shortened form only when necessary—that is, when you can introduce the form

and then use it at least one more time within close proximity of the first. Avoid the tendency to use a

shortened form when its meaning is already a short unit unless you can justify it—for example, within

the tight confines of a table or figure.
