	[I think actually there's over 1,000,000 government
	acronyms, although not all are military.  Still, a list

	sci.military would be useful for those to whom
	Milspeak isn't a second tongue.  -- CDR]

I have on my desk a Lexicon of Authenticated Systems and Logistics
Acronyms (LASLA).  It contains "4,150 acronyms extracted from 
directives, regulations, and manuals of the Department of 
Defense and its agencies."
It was compiled some time ago by the AFIT school of Systems and
Logistics.  It is hardly a complete list, and I certainly don't
want to type them all into a file to post.  

Perhaps it would be better just to ask people to explain those
acronyms that you don't understand, or can't deduce.

   These views do not reflect the opinion of the government.
   If the government wanted my views, it would ask for them.
