The Part 25 requirements mentioned above are for the certification of the aircraft. TERPS on the other hand is what we have to comply with in order to meet IFR climb requirements (obstacle clearence). Standard is single engine, 200' per nm which is equivilant to 3.3%. These of course are minimums and are often increased in either an obstable departure procedure or SID. The 3.3% starts from the second segment on take off or the missed apporach point on an approach. It sounds similar to what you mentioned for the military.
