The difference in translation by organizations, such as US Forces, British Forces, Japan Self-Defense Forces (Ground, Maritime and Air), is also specified.

Brief Description

It can be said that compilation of this huge English-Japanese/Japanese-English bilingual glossary was attained by both information disclosure system and Internet. All the recorded terms are due to public information. The information acquired from formal websites is added to complement the data which came to hand using the disclosure system. This is an aggregation of glossaries, and, so to speak, has become a kind of "joint glossary." For verification work, Google which is a search engine site of the Internet was mainly utilized. Probably, publication of such a military glossary is the first.

The term collection of the necessity for translation was the start of developing this glossary. No basic knowledge over military terms was also harder and it was confused even by the difference from generic terms at first. Typical ones are "geigeki" - "yogeki" (interception) and "patoriotto" - "petoriotto" (Patriot), etc. An expression peculiar to the Japan Self-Defense Forces greatly got confused, and even if it has imagined somehow that "escort vessel" is "destroyer", by the time it turned out that "observation helicopter" is seemingly "reconnaissance helicopter", it has required time. It has been afflicted by the difference in notation and concept by each Self-Defense Forces (Ground, Maritime and Air).

Although it was having begun as a means solving this for myself, if the terms were arranged and offered, it thought that it would be useful to other people, and decided to distribute by electronic media (PDF format). And, this stopped at an editor's eyes and resulted in this publication.

The "Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA)" led by Armed Forces of the United States has had influence in various area. Join operations of forces is also the one, and if it sees in the viewpoint of military term, it will be thought to reach "sharing of information." In order for each Service to act in one, the required information must be shared timely. I'm also an outsider, and although this cannot but imagine, I hear that personnel concerned with ground, maritime and air will do simultaneously the monitoring of the computer screen which displays the same contents. There, the coordinated terms with a common concept must be used, and then the necessity for a "joint glossary" like this book arises.

In addition, finally it may have to refuse. The bill about the elevation to the Department of Defense from the Defense Agency passed the Parliament in the echelon in which editing work came to a close. Although correspondence is carried out within limits to understand, it is still in the echelon before the enforcement of the bill, and there is also an indefinite point. I am pleased if you can understand some situations.
