Get the LRRP mug.Army term referring to the commander of a unit. Usually used for a colonel or general, but can be used for a captain (who would be a company commander). Since most company commanders are still in their 20's in the Army though this isn't a common use.
Its usually a term of respect, but many times just used as to refer to the commander without any judgement of respect or disrespect. NOTE = this term is never used in the presence of the old man / commander.

Get the The Old Man mug.Army term meaning to use someone else to draw fire or draw the enemy's attention. Sabot is the main gun round on a tank. Using someone as a sabot sucker means you're intentionally sending them to do something that will cause them to get shot (usually by a tank).
So if you were in a training exercise and wanted to know where the enemy was hiding you might send one vehicle into the open. Once they're fired on you now know where the enemy is. That vehicle would be a Sabot Sucker. You might also use a sabot sucker to draw attention in a different direction so you can sneak around another way, etc.
Many times at the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, CA active duty Army units are assigned a National Guard unit to go through the rotation with them. It's common practice to send the useless National Guard units first as sabot suckers. NOTE = Anyone to be used as a sabot sucker will be decieved into thinking their role is critical when really its a diversion.

Army Captain: We've been very impressed with your unit, we want YOU to lead the charge. You'll be the tip of the spear, the point element in our critical advance.

Army Captain (under breath): see ya Sabot Sucker.

Get the Sabot Sucker mug.Used in Army Special Forces community as the ficticous name for about 14 or 15 counties of North Carolina.
While going through Special Forces training the final element is a several week long exercise called Robin Sage. It takes place in these counties of N.C. During the exercise you plan and carry out operations as though you're in the imaginary People's Republic of Pineland. The exercise starts with a parachute infiltration of Pineland followed by a series of exercises training "guerillas" operating in the area.
Every once in a while a soldier going through the SF Q course will accidentally interact with a local who doesn't realize their in Pineland. But most of the locals in the community will particiapte in the exercise playing civilians and are aware the Army uses the area they live in for training. A local sherrif once shot a couple soldiers who thought he was part of the exercise after they tried to bribe him with Pineland money.

Get the People's Republic of Pineland mug.Slang in the Army for having someone fuck your stuff up. Usually a threat to someone being insubordinate.
The term actually refers to tying someone's feet to the back of a horse or vehicle and dragging them. Hence their skull would drag on the ground. But in practice it means to jack someone up, either through yelling at them, "smoking" them through push-ups, assigning extra duty or generally being a prick and giving them a difficult time.

Soldier 1: The new LT's a fucking idiot.
Soldier 2: Pipe down man, if the platoon sergeant here's you say that he'll skull drag your ass.

Get the Skull Drag mug.Also known as "scrolling the road". A term in the US Army Infantry for the techinique to cross a linear danger area (Army code for a road).
It originated in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Each Army unit wears the unit patch on the left shoulder. The 75th's patch is a scroll, and the act of "scroll to the road" involves keeping the shoulder with your scroll toward the road. As long as soldiers on both sides of the road do this someone will always be watching in both directions a vehicle could approach from.
So for an infantry unit a road, unless in wide open terrain, is a substantial threat. Enemy can advance on you quickly, and while half the unit is on the near side & half on the far side you run a much greater risk of having your forces cut in 2.
When the order to scroll the road is given Man #1 in the formation comes up to the road & takes a knee keeping his weapon oriented down the road. Man #2 will kneel beside him & tap him on the shoulder as an indication he now has the road covered. Man #1 crosses the road and takes a knee directing his fire the opposite direction up the road as Man #2. This continues until everyone is across.
If both men keep their scrolls to the road no one can ever get confused as to which side supposed to be looking up/down which direction of the road.

Get the Scroll to the Road mug.Informal Army doctrine term describing firing a tank main gun round down the center of a road. This type round creates a vortex of air and sucks enemy infantry towards it (and into the road) to be more easily engaged by waiting Bradley Fighting Vehicles, friendly infantry or Abrams co-axial machine gun fire. Named after an Army 1LT Kelo who first utilized the practice in Iraq in 2003.
Soldier #1: "Heard the boys over in 2-7 Infantry got so super pissed off finally they did a Kelo clearing on Sadr City."
Soldier #2: "What a freakin' rage kill, that's awesome. Sometimes you gotta drop a lightning bolt of carnage ... screw that ducking behind buildings taking pot shots man."
