Understanding military terminology is essential when dealing with topics related to defence and security. These terms cover aspects from logistics (Arsenal) and unit organization (Battery) to personnel recruitment (Conscription) and combat maneuvers (Dogfight).
Conscription is also known as “the draft” in some countries. A battery is typically commanded by a Captain and may consist of 6 to 8 guns or launchers. Arsenals can be large complexes involved in manufacturing, storage, and research. Dogfights became prominent in aerial combat during World War I.
