Modern linguistics pays special attention to the analysis of specialized vocabulary and phraseology, as this system reflects not only everyday communication, but also complex socio-political process. In the complex of globalization extensions of international contacts and active information exchange on the level of defense policy, diplomacy and safety the need for adequate rendering of military-political terminology and phraseology is growing. Comparative analysis of languages of different structural types in this aspect lets identify patterns of functioning of military-political lexis in the languages with different structure and establish the basis for the improvement of translation practice which makes the given issue scientifically and practically significant. Despite the fact that today’s media are on par with literary texts, the political speech of contemporary figures is replete with neological military‑themed phraseological units. Currently, there is a need for a clear description of phraseological units in military discourse. At the same time, each dictionary entry on military discourse should include up‑to‑date information about its source, as well as its penetration into the language.
