You enter withdrawals and payments the same way.  I assume you are getting  pension payments from the military?  If it asks you if it was the RMD say all of it is the RMD.   If you need to take the RMD it will ask you if it is the RMD.  Say yes.  Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the  RMD.  Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD. So for the RMD question put in the same amount as box 1.

i.e. a Distribution/Payment/Withdrawal are all terms relating to money that came out of your Retirment account.

.....Yeah, pension payments are $$ you have no control over once you start them up....but, very loosely, the terms Distribution/Payment/Withdrawal, are referring to the same thing...$$ you received from that provider of Retirment funds.
