In reference to child birth or adoption - this website has good information https://myarmybenefits.us.army.mil/Benefit-Library/Federal-Benefits/Military-Parental-Leave-Program-(MPLP)?serv=122
Primary is the person primarily caring for the child (typically the mother, especially if breastfeeding)
Secondary is a support person to assist

Army Directive 2019-05 (Army Military Parental Leave Program)
Army Regulation 600-8-10 (Leaves and Passes)
