Как перевести сочетание Discrete Military Operation? Тайная военная операция? Как тогда перевести non-covert DMO? Как discrete может быть одновременное non-covert?
In the days following a non-covert DMO, administration officials, speaking from prepared talking points, will often explain the political objectives of the attack.
