scope:

This handbook establishes definitions for terms peculiar to the general field of training devices.

The following criteria determine the acceptability of a term for inclusion:

a. The term is of interest to two or more military departments

b. The term has a specific significance related to military training devices

c. The military application of the term is not adequately defined in any standard dictionary. Such terms may be included; however, if they have general joint service interest, and it is demonstrated that they are subject to misunderstanding or misuse.

It is anticipated that this hand book will be used primarily by those personnel engaged in the development, production and utilization of training devices.
