Interesting "usage notes", since the following url -- which you'll notice has a .mil extension (verified military use) -- defines it the "mistaken way" you mentioned in the notes.

Contradictory Explanations for CONUS and OCONUS

[edit]

I do not have any special like or dislike for either definition, but at least you should keep both terms/abbreviations consistently defined in your project. As it is they use directly opposite definitions to make their point. (Oconus = contiguous, Conus = continental) Something has to change here and Conus seems to be better sourced. --178.203.155.165 10:46, 19 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
