Abstract. The paper aims to reveal the role of the German borrowings in the process of the English military terminology formation in the first half of the XX century. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researchers for the first time suggest a thematic classification of the borrowed military terms, identify the most frequent models of the Germanisms assimilation in military English. The conducted research allows concluding that the German borrowings of that period influenced considerably the formation of the English military terminology, replenishing it with the relevant terms of the military-political, all-military, military-technical sphere. It is shown that the Germanisms assimilation occurred at graphical, morphological and semantic levels.
