what's the meaning of "Pre-emptive counter attack (home forces attacked first)" I read an articla about jargons. There is an example "Pre-emptive counter attack (home forces attacked first)". It means "Pre-emptive counter attack" is the jargon, and the " (home forces attacked first)" is the original meaning. But what is the meaning of both. Please help me, and thanks in advance.

A "pre-emptive" attack happens when one side expects an attack from an enemy soon. They decide that the best way to deal with this threat is to attack first. A "counter-attack" is an attack in response to an enemy's attack. I have never heard of a "pre-emptive counter-attack". Perhaps it has a specialised military meaning but it seems like a contradiction in terms to me.
