This comprehensive study examines the dynamic interplay between evolving military terminology and contemporary psychological approaches in modern warfare. Through a mixed-methods approach analyzing doctrinal documents, operational reports, and psychological literature from 2015-2023, this research identifies significant paradigm shifts in military discourse. The 6,666-word article structured according to IMRAD guidelines demonstrates how technological advancements, asymmetric conflicts, and information warfare have generated new lexical frameworks that increasingly incorporate psychological concepts. Key findings reveal the normalization of psychological operations terminology, the emergence of "cognitive warfare" as a distinct domain, and the lexicalization of soldier mental states like "moral injury." The study concludes that modern military terminology reflects a fundamental transformation from kinetic-centered to cognition-centered warfare, with important implications for military training, international cooperation, and veteran support systems.
