File under "You Can't Make This Shit Up"

OCRAP!

The U.S. Marine Corps would like to introduce you to “OCRAP,” which is one of the service’s newest acronyms. It stands for Overseas C-sUAS and Routing Approval Package—in true Marine Corps fashion, the acronym contains another acronym. That nested acronym stands for counter-small unmanned aerial systems. The Marine administrative message from which this delightful acronym came is about protecting USMC installations from small drones.

Sunday With Blackthorn - The U-2 Spyplane, Still In Service After 7 Decades
