Symbology
Welcome to the P920 Preparatory Symbology Lesson. This is your introduction to or review of US Army Symbology.
This lesson consists of eight sections dealing with operational terms, military symbols, and specific symbols for units, individuals, organizations, equipment, installations, activities, control measures, tactical mission tasks, and task organization composition. While these sections do not include every possible symbol for every possible context, the rules for building specific sets of military symbols are provided, and they will serve as a doctrinal foundation for future needs.
At the end of this lesson, you should have a good appreciation for the role of operational terms and symbols in enhancing your ability to doctrinally portray operational graphics. A practical exercise is provided at the end of this Lesson to assess your learning.
The primary references for symbology and terminology are:
 ADRP 1-02, Operational Terms and Military Symbols, August 2012.
 ADRP 3-90, Offense and Defense, August 2012.
 FM 3-90.6, Brigade Combat Team, September 2010.

Small, independent studies allow the researcher or instructor to witness hands-on experiences students have with technology and ways they employ various forms of technology to enhance projects, research papers, and group presentations. In addition, students willingly discuss their experiences – positive and negative - with the researcher, thus documenting the ways in which technological advances have helped or hindered their experience as a student.

    J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye portrays a sixteen-year-old boy, stuck between adolescence and adulthood, who struggles to find his place in society. Holden Caulfield draws the reader in with his unpredictable actions and his frank judgements and opinions of the world. Throughout the novel Holden tries to protect his innocence and views the adult world as "phony." Salinger seems to be asking the question that to become an adult is it necessary to accept the fact that some things, like death, lie outside a person’s control? The author implies that a person needs to balance life and death and portrays this concept through two important symbols: Holden’s brother Allie's baseball glove and the red hunting hat.…

    Symbolism In Artwork

    The artworks I looked at relate to material we have discussed in class because there’s a lot that are about religion. In class, we learned about religions including the Islamic religion from which I saw a lot of works on. There’s also a lot of symbolism within the artworks. Symbolism is really important in humanities when we look at pictures. For example, in The Hijab Project by Al Ahad, according to Muslim women, the Hijab is a symbol for being strong, being different, having modesty and confidence, etc. Another example of symbolism is in the Beginning/End work by Khalid Zahid, it mentions how natural resource is seen as a global symbol for Saudi Arabia. The Nasser Salem Guide Us Upon the Straight Path work reminds me of how in Christianity…
