The US Army isn't the only service branch that instills Soldier (unless you propose that Marines use Marine and so on, which seems like skill bloat). Marines say "fighting hole" and do not salute uncovered. I believe the Navy is the same. Also "head", "deck", "passageway", "hatch" for "latrine", "floor", "hallway", "door" and so on.
Also a fighting hole is distinct from a trench. I learned to construct both (although the latter only in snow).
