Military Usage: In some military contexts, "baker run" can be used as informal slang for a quick resupply mission or transport of personnel or equipment. Its usage in this sense depends on the specific branch and operational environment. The term's origin is unclear but it is assumed to be a non-standard descriptor.

General Errand: More broadly, "baker run" can describe any short, unplanned errand or task that requires swift completion. This usage is less common than the emergency delivery sense.
