Rear
Echelon Mother Fucker. One who has no
frontline or combat experience, and therefore makes huge errors at expense of human life.
The
REMF's decisions make sense only if you think of human beings as statistics. This is the main problem with REMFs- they think of people as numbers.

An acronym popularized by
Tom Clancy and particularly his character
John Clark, it stands for "rear
echelon motherfucker". A top officer in the military or a civilian with great influence over the service, it is a person who calls the shots from an armchair with little care about the kids whom their decisions will be effecting or the parents who will be getting bodybags for Christmas.

Military acronym used to refer to certain support personel especialy chickenshits and
brass who deliberatly seek to avoid duty
in the field,especially combat duty.
This term does not apply to all support personel.

rear with
the gear.

A Rear Echelon Motherfucker REMF is someone who has a relatively safe job and
good living conditions in a
war zone who is hated (because of envy) by
frontline combat soldiers who have neither, and wished they did.
There are two basic types of REMFs: Pencil pushing administrators, and combat support personnel. It is a myth that REMFs risk the lives of those in combat on the frontlines, in fact the opposite is true. Combat support REMFs keep the grunts alive by supplying "beans, bullets and blood."
Example:
The FNG Army PFC
11B was pissed off at the personnel clerk REMF at the 20th Replacement Center at Long
Binh for assigning him orders him to 1st Infantry at
Khe Sahn to help the Marines fight the
NVA. When besieged Khe Sahn was resupplied by C-123 airdrops of ammo, medical supplies and food loaded by REMF Air Force combat support troops at
Quang Tri & Da Nang, the Army PFC 11B realized he had been hating out of envy the guys he owed his life to. Some of which later were KIA in rocket attacks.

Military acronym for "
Rear Entry Mother Fucker". Used to describe any who sits behind a desk an only propose in life is to ruin peoples lives because they do not know any better or lack of
common sence. Most popular examples are
Quartermasters, Intelligences Officers, any Officer in an executive or non-combat position and those who work in the Pentagon on up.
It also describes the way their office is set up. Where you have to walk around the desk to enter from the rear. The desk also faces the door so in case there is a scuffle you have to go over their desk to get your hands around their throat.
Example:
"That damn Intel Officer is a REMF he sent us to the wrong coordinates"
"The
Quartermaster would not issue us
night vision goggles for the
tonight's mission, what a REMF"
