USAGE OF TERM 'PBOR'

1. The abvn/acronym 'PBOR' does not exist in the 'Staff Duties in Fd Appx 'C' - Abbreviation 2006'. However, over a period of time incorrect usage of this term PBOR has become a practice. It is seen and reported by a Comd HQ that the acroym 'PBOR' is being wrongly used in respect of 'JCOs and OR'.

2. The issue has been considered at the IHQ of MoD(Army). It has been decided that the acronym 'PBOR' will not be used, instead 'JCOs and ORs' is to be used in all the letters/comns.

3. The above instr may be disseminated to the envt for compliance.
