Eh bien, voilà le contexte! S'il s'agit de "ce qui concerne le devis", moi aussi, je pencherais plus vers la première réponse.

Bonjour à tous, merci pour votre aide. Je suis désolée je n'ai pas beaucoup de contexte. Il s'agit d'une proposition de formation de forces de sécurité. Ce terme est employé dans le titre du document et à la fin en ce qui concerne le devis. D'où ma question... PSD est Protective Security Details. Je pencherai plus en fonction de la première réponse, mais toute suggestion est la bienvenue...

@antoine101 I do not know. You may well have the correct answer. However, if you look at your second reference (http://gao.justia.com/department-of-defense/1978/6/review-of... more closely, you will see that the text actually reads: "The Army received a proposal from", not "rom".

The "Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms" offers "rough order of magnitude" as one of three possibilities for ROM.

More context from the asker would be useful.

ROM ROM "read-only memory"; "restriction of movement"; "rough order of magnitude"
Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.

Could it be that the training proposal has been submitted on a (CD-)ROM?
Does the training in question have anything to do with restriction of movement?
Could it, as antoine101 suggests, have anything to do with Rough Order of Magnitude in project planning?
Colin Rowe Nov 18, 2011:
Context US military?
British military?
Canadian, Australian, NZ, ...?

What do you already have for PSD? Planning Systems Division (US DoD)?

Plus de contexte ? C'est un peu juste pour se faire une idée.

Merci Colin, effectivement avec plus de contexte depuis le début, cela aurait été plus rapide!
