Thanks for another great post, V. Mils are one of two main units used in marksmanship, artillery, etc. The other is MOA (minute of angle). Weapon optics and sights are generally calibrated to one or the other. Some even mix systems by having a sight calibrated in MOA with adjusting turrets calibrated in mils. Battlefield math and unit conversions. Yuck!
