OCONUS
English
Prepositional phrase
OCONUS
- (chiefly military) Acronym of outside [the] contiguous United States; i.e. Alaska, Hawaii, the US territories, and all other countries.
Usage notes
This is sometimes mistakenly defined as outside the continental United States, possibly because the concept of "continent" is more familiar than contiguity; but continental would include Alaska.
