"During the Korean War" it was difficult for the military to communicate.
Things had a different meaning for different services.
For instance, to secure a building to the Navy meant to turn off the lights

defend the parameter.
To the Marines securing the building meant an all out frontal attack.
To the Air Force it meant taking out a three year lease with an option to
purchase.
