Wikipedia says it was introduced by the U.S. Army in the 1990s. In recent years, it’s been used in strategic leadership conversations. Basically, it means the world is a little wild and crazy.

Awarding bodies were small organisations, largely unheard of especially when compared to exam boards and agencies.
