Yes, it's a military term, short for a kilometer, for ease of use as it's only one syallable. The exact origin is unknown, but it entered common usage amongst American soldiers in Vietnam during the 1960s.
(and if it didn't have a definite length it would be a bit difficult for other people to know what you were talking about when you used the term, wouldn't it?)

A click is the equivalent of two semi-clicks, but only half as long as an uber-click.

As stated above for ease of communication Click as opposed to Kilometer.
Field radios are notoriously bad for tranmitting so transmissions are kept short & sweet.

click is slang for kilometer. I wouldn't have answered this except I want the points.

In the UK we abbreviate Kilometer to KM. In USA they abbreviate it to k, hence the term klick, meaning kilometer.
Thanks for the points ;-)
