Extinct (EX) – No known living individuals
Extinct in the wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range
Critically Endangered (CR) – Highest risk of extinction in the wild
Endangered (EN) – Higher risk of extinction in the wild
Vulnerable (VU) – High risk of extinction in the wild
Near Threatened (NT) – Likely to become endangered in the near future
Conservation Dependent (CD) – Low risk; is conserved to prevent being near threatened, certain events may lead it to being a higher risk level
Least concern (LC) – Very Low risk; does not qualify for a higher risk category and not likely to be threatened in the near future. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category

from the internet, human-centered design

HCD presents the opportunity for all types of organizations to deeply understand the people they are looking to serve and to create innovative solutions rooted in people’s actual needs.  HCD is uniquely situated to arrive to solutions that are desirable, feasible, and viable.

U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM)
U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)

U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)
U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM)
U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM)

The first seven of these are geographical combatant commands, each of which focuses on a geographic area of the world and has responsibility for U.S. military forces in that area. The latter four are functional combatant commands, which focus on particular military functions.
