Acronym

CONUS

  1. (chiefly military) The contiguous United States; the 48 states excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

Usage notes

  • This is sometimes mistakenly defined as continental United States, possibly because the concept of "continent" is more familiar than contiguity; but continental would include Alaska.
