Here's another one that I don't think has been covered. And it has nothing to do with the guy on the forum with this nick!! REMF - Rear echelon Mother f---er. Usually to do with support troops - but many use it for anybody farther back from the fighting than they are. Figmo

Uhm, I guess it's a special US thingy, cause they tend to mix and confuse things up. Like bombing an ammo factory which happens to be a Chinese embassy, air-attack British FOVs cause they arent in their handbooks, bombing the team that marked the targt area instead of the target area. Seems like US are specially trained for friendly fire. Oops, I hope I didnt offend anyone, just want to be sarcastic. But we Germans have our own saying for friendly fire: Artillerie kennt weder Freund noch Feind, nur lohnende Ziele. (Artillery doesnt know friend nor enemy just worthy targets). murx

The last German vs USMC confrontation didn't go too well for the boys in gray as I recall. Don't think there was too much friendly fire at Belleau Wood :0) "Retreat Hell, we just got here !!!" USMC Captain to panicking French Officer when asked when his company was planning to fall back, France 1917. [img]null[/img]

The closest I can come is - I know who C3PO and R2D2 are :eek: - but I haven't got a clue about C3CM. Figmo

C3CM = Command and Control CounterMeasures, those actions taken to deny your opponent the abilty to C&C his forces. Your options to do so are to deceive, deny, disrupt or destroy his forces.
