abbreviations in graphics only) Universal Time (DOD)
A measure of time that conforms, within a close approximation, to the mean
diurnal rotation of the Earth and serves as the basis of civil timekeeping.
Universal Time (UT1) is determined from observations of the stars, radio
sources, and also from ranging observations of the moon and artificial Earth
satellites. The scale determined directly from such observations is
designated Universal Time Observed (UTO); it is slightly dependent on the
place of observation. When UTO is corrected for the shift in longitude of the
observing station caused by polar motion, the time scale UT1 is obtained.
When an accuracy better than one second is not required, Universal Time can
be used to mean Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Formerly called Greenwich Mean Time. Also called ZULU time (FM 5-0) universal transverse mercator

topographical complex where manmade construction or high population density
is the dominant feature (FM 3‑06) urban environment Includes
the physical urban area and the complex and dynamic interaction among its key
components—the terrain (natural and manmade), the population, and the
supporting infrastructure—as an overlapping and interdependent system of
systems. Effects of this interaction may extend well into surrounding rural
areas, as well as significantly influence smaller neighboring urban areas.
Critical elements of the infrastructure may well lie outside the area's
physical confines (FM 3‑06) urban
operations FM 3‑0 - Offense, defense, stability,
and support operations conducted in a topographical complex and adjacent
natural terrain where manmade construction and high population density are
the dominant features. The concept of urban operations assumes that the
urbanized terrain is populated, and that the populace must be a foremost
consideration. UO recognizes that the populace can help either side, and that
it requires a working infrastructure. Urban operations, whether against an
insurgent or unconventional enemy, thus vastly differ from MOUT. Although
certain techniques and tactics are common to both types of operations, UO
goes beyond MOUT, focusing not only on defeating the enemy, but also on
gaining and retaining the good will of the population. UO consider the
complex and dynamic interactions and relationships between the urban area’s
key components‑‑the terrain (natural and manmade), the
population, and the supporting infrastructure‑‑as an overlapping
and interdependent system of systems. A single urban operation may include
the full range of Army operations‑‑offensive, defensive,
stability and support (Appendix C)‑‑that
may be executed, either sequentially or simultaneously (FM 3‑06, Chapter 1). Furthermore, to accomplish
an objective, UO demand working with sister services, US government
agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and regional and international
organizations. urg urgent (use abbreviations in
