Mils are a unit of measurement, comparable to degrees. On a compass 360 degrees is equivalent to 6400 mils. It is a measurement commonly used in the military because it can also be used to measure distance. At a distance of 1000 meters, 1 mil is equivalent to 1 meter.
For example, if you know a vehicle is 4 meters wide and it is measured from a distance as being four mils wide you know it stands at a distance of 1000 meters.
