the implication of the "don't be acquired" and "don't be penetrated" is some sort of anti-air or anti-tank missile.

"killed" in this case would be equivalent to having something penetrate and hit sensitive systems. at that point it's basically just a function of what the penetrator is trying to do -- if they just want $$$ they ransomware. if they want exfil or DoS or making critical systems do naughty things that is also a kill.

not necessarily - this model is also taught for army/marines type ground combat operations, in how to effectively camouflage, how to manoeuvre.

the "don't be penetrated" is more of an equipment choice and engineering decision specific to armor and active kinetic counter-munitions systems, like anti-drone shotguns, tanks with active protection systems, chobham armor, etc.

If a munition has been fired by you, first try to not get penetrated by it at all, and if that fails, try to prevent something catastrophic like a bolus of explosive formed penetrator molten copper from spraying into the inside of your armored personnel carrier.
