Q


QRF.  Quick Reaction Force.  "Who ya gonna call?"

QSL.  Old SF commo guys will remember this one.

QUANTUM LEAP. A program developed by USSOCOM but stopped in August 2012 that involved a group of civilian contract and government employees in a nine-day experiment to determine if the command could mine social media and other open-source media and databases to gather intelligence. Somewhat similar to AVATAR.
