It is a kilometer, which is about five/eights of a mile. I found this out when I helped restore an old locomotive that had been used at a military base, and its speedometer was in kilometers. The old engineers called them 'clicks,' and I had the same reaction you did. Apparently our military is a metric organization; probably because NATO is.

Good luck, thanks for your service to us, and please keep your head down.

CLICK is a term used by the military for KILOMETER. It is 0.6 miles. Thus 10 klicks would be 6 miles. And 100 klicks would be 60 miles.

A click is a kilometer, .62 of a mile. 10 clicks is 6.2 miles.

A clique is a bunch of bitchy girls in high school... ever see "Mean Girls" or "Heathers"?

No, you wouldn't have seen Heathers, you were probably in single digits then... oh well.

A klick, more seriously, is a kilometer of ground distance.
