While this dictionary is very useful for those already asociated with the military or Department of Defense, it won't be as helpful for those who are not familiar with the Armed Services. This dictionary contains listings of acronym and spells out what they stand for, and what service it applies to. This is useful for those already associated with the military who may know what the term means, but want to spell out exactly what each letter or symbol in the acronym stand for. For example, it may tell you that AMC stand for Air Mobility Command, but it won't say what that is or what it does. Thus, it's useful if you know what AMC does, and need to what the letters stand for. If you're trying to learn what these organizations and programs actually do, then pass this dictionary by. Again, if you have experience in the military, then you will probably be able to use this dictionary with no difficulty and find it quite useful.

Of the several book I have on military protocol, this is the one I use the most. It is laid out like the title says, "Dictionary". So looking up an abbreviation is quick, easy, and correct. What a shame this is out of print. I'm glad someone wanted to part with their used copy! I would have gladly paid full price for it.
