I have not researched this, but I am told, and I fully believe, that the Army created two of the most beloved acronyms to have made it into "common usage":

In addition to this, the Army taught me that the word STEAL was actually an acronym, as well.

Strategic
Transfer of
Equipment to an
Alternate
Location
