Read: Joint Artillery Dictionaries, by Jean-Claude Laloire (E67)

This bilingual English-to-French dictionary is a series of three books including 18,000 entries and 1,500 pages dealing with artillery and its environment, both within a joint environment, and within the environment of a specific service. 

The first book includes the various aspects of conventional artillery, guns, howitzers, and rockets in a land environment, guns in a naval environment, and bombs in an air environment. 

The second book includes the various aspects of guided artillery, drones and missiles in a land environment, and in a naval environment, as well as missiles in air and space environments. 

The third book includes topography and meteorology among the different aspects of artillery environment, both for conventional artillery and for guided artillery. Within this framework, space plays an important role and all the more as operations can be carried out from space today. 

The dictionary’s terminology includes what is useful to operate within a national framework and within an international framework (coalitions, NATO) within an ever-increasing global environment. 

The author has been both a translator and an interpreter in the French Ministry of Defense and a teacher at advanced military education level. He is an OLRAT (French Army Reserve language-expert officer) Lieutenant Colonel. He is a Commander in the Order of Merit.
