1. Troop
Military · Military Unit and Organization Abbreviations
Cavalry unit equivalent to a company, commanded by a captain and typically made up of scout or armored platoons. Several troops form a cavalry squadron, the battalion-size cavalry unit.
Example: B Trp, 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry, conducted a zone reconnaissance ahead of the brigade.
The cavalry naming tradition (troop, squadron, regiment) survives in US Army armored cavalry units and in British armoured regiments. In everyday English, "troops" means soldiers in general, so the capitalized unit name Trp is used in designations.
2. Target rating point (TRP)
Business & Finance · Marketing & Advertising Abbreviations
Gross rating points delivered among a defined target audience, such as adults 25 to 54, rather than among all viewers, used to plan and buy television and video campaigns.
Example: The schedule delivers 300 TRPs against women 18 to 49.
In India, TRP more commonly means television rating point, the viewership ratings measured by the Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC), often in news about channel rankings.
