Since the day Lithuania became a member of NATO, the armed forces of the country have been coordinating their actions with NATO requirements, which cannot be imagined without the use of missiles and artillery in combat. Due to this reason, infantry officers are expected not only to be able to organize artillery support and share its results, but, in communication, to use standardized NATO terminology. Accurate usage of specific vocabulary will lead to successful performance of military tasks.
The dictionary contains the most typical terms of NATO and the Lithuanian armed forces and provides their detailed explanations. In total, the dictionary comprises 1,500 entries explaining the semantic fields of the concepts of missiles and artillery.
At the end of the dictionary there are two smaller terminology dictionaries of English-Lithuanian and Russian-Lithuanian. They help the language user to find equivalents of the specific terms in English and Russian languages.

While reading military literature or, in communication, using terminology, students get often exposed to their synonyms or incorrect usage cases. This dictionary assists the language user in finding out the definition of the term, engages and encourages them to use the correct term.

This resource is meant for the national defense officers, lieutenants, sergeants, cadets of the Lithuanian Military Academy as well as everybody who studies or is interested in military studies. The users are encouraged to employ the dictionary as a verification tool while analyzing different military-specific texts.
