I just looked it up NOD_Night Observation Device...That was an easy one...It is strange some of the names that the Military comes up with...I just recently bought a 1973 Army Jeep..It is an AM GENERAL..the ARMY name for it is a MUTT...I could not for the life of me figure out why they call it a MUTT...Well they call it a 1/4 ton truck not a jeep...
MUTT=Military Utility Tactical truck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
