It's possible Oxford lists a few of the more commonly used military acronyms which remain current, like these two and NCO. For example they don't list ANZAC or AIF (except as Asociación Internacional de Fomento, which is part of the World Bank).

Tony,
My Oxford Concise dictionary lists Anzac (that is how it is written) and gives the pronunciation of it "aenzaek", listing it as a noun. The 1990 edition.
