Military OP Means a Military Operation Such as a Mission assigned to a Stealth Unit or Perhaps an Insurgency Such as the War in Iraq... The last OP i Can Think of was Operation Desert Fox but the most widely known one Was Operation Desert Sheild/Desert Storm

Depends on what kind of signal you're talking about but in most every case the abbreviation "op" means Operation
