@dfoll - what do you think?
Use this one:
It is specifically called Python Command Prompt. Having the user navigate to a particular path first before is a bit much and not necessary.
@mfunk - at least on my (Win 8) machine, the first hit returned on searching for Python Command Prompt >>does not actually start anything<< - perhaps because of multiple install/uninstall cycles of multiple flavors of Python, ArcGIS, and Pro. The other immediate results (which I tried, because that one did not work) are not the right command prompt and do not work. If I page down to the all Apps view, I find a shortcut that does work, but some others that don't.
Users who have Python 2.7 and Python 3.x will have multiple dead-end options. Specifying the path seemed like the best way to eliminate ambiguity.
@mfunk - perhaps we say:
I think "a" suggests that any given Python command line will work.
Change "a" to "the". We will not point out what does not work as those are not the Python Command Prompt.

@lfunkhouser guidance was a recommended change from copy editing
Although I have done it a couple of times now, I had a difficult time doing the conda package offline install because I had trouble identifying the correct Python command prompt to use. When I search on my start menu I see numerous Python interpreter/command window shortcuts, and most of them are not the correct one. I suggest that we update the instructions here: http://solutionsdev.arcgis.com/defense/help/military-tools/get-started/military-tools-for-arcgis-get-started.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_50EE8C523803469AA59344B1D8F70EA8 to be more specific about what command prompt is needed and how to start it. Specifically, I would change step 2 from:
