Talk:BOCAT

RFV discussion: May–August 2017
Doesn't exist on Wikipedia, which makes this extremely suspicious. Nothing on books at first glance either. -- Pedrianaplant (talk) 10:47, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Why is that suspicious? The military endlessly make up acronyms, most of which are nowhere near notable enough to get on Wikipedia.
 * "Together MND-B and the BOC conducted day-to-day coordination through the Baghdad Operations Command Advisory Team (BOCAT) to synchronize combined operations to protect the population in Baghdad." Command Report: Multi-National Division Baghdad: 1st U.S. Cavalry Division
 * This Bronze Star citation confirms the existence of the team, but does not use the acronym.
 * There are multiple occurences on news sites and military sites, but not sure if any are durably archived.
 * "Property of an approximate value of $12,000.00 was recovered in the North Carolina home of appellant’s co-accused, the BOCAT Deputy Chief, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Timothy Lethers.", United States v. Sergeant First Class MICHAEL W. PLEASANT, JR., ARMY 20100781 (A.C.C.A. 2012), Court Listener
 * This one from Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library is presumably durably archived, but I'm not sure.  If it counts, then this onecounts too.
 * "The Baghdad Operations Command Advisory Team (BOCAT) JA worked with Iraqi judges to get them to articulate their warrant requirements." Tip Of The Spear: After Action Reports from July 2008-August 2009, published September 2009 (2009 Supplement to Forged In The Fire, Legal Lessons Learned During Military Operations 1994-2008).
