militärisch

Militärisch is an adjective in the German language meaning pertaining to the military or the armed forces. It is used to describe actions, organizations, equipment, or policies that relate to defense or warfare, such as militärische Ausrüstung (military equipment), militärische Übungen (military exercises), or militärische Strategie (military strategy). The term is typically neutral in tone and frequent in official, academic, and journalistic contexts.

The word derives from the noun Militär (military) with the standard German adjectival suffix -isch. The noun itself ultimately traces back to Latin militaris, via French militaire and other Romance languages.

It is also found in compounds such as militärische Geschichte (military history), militärische Führung (military leadership), and militärische Infrastruktur (military infrastructure).
