What does 'military mode' mean?

What does 'military mode activated' mean?
Should I even care, or is it an 'under the hood' concept that shouldn't concern the player?
How did I activate it?
Are there other 'modes?'

IIRC, this is what is displayed when you click on the map filter buttons next to the minimap

Yeah, I think it shows who has the most MC in a region. Basically it's good for showing whether you can track supply or use rails through a region. If there's a sudden change from turn to turn, you can also figure where your enemy is, even if you can't see him.

Don't bother with that in AACW

It is here because the engine try to handle many things in a logical way, so even if you only have one play mode in AACW, it tells you you are back to Military mode.

Ok, I could have added a test to not display the message if you are already in the mode
