The best description is Swing, a mixture of pop and jazz. However many of his recordings with the civilian band can equally well be categorized as pop tunes.
He ranged wider on broadcasts, performing blues-oriented songs such as Harlem Chapel Bells and Daisy Mae, along with some "purer" jazz pieces. Miller knew that pop tunes sold best, though, so he rarely recorded these more adventurous titles.
The Army Air Force Orchestra (1943-44) had a much broader repertoire, given its much larger size including 21 strings. Again, many of the songs were pop tunes intended to help boost morale of servicemen overseas, but the band also did a lot of large-orchestra jazz (920 Special, Enlisted Mens' Mess), small group jazz (look for Mel Powell's Uptown Hall Gang) and even light classical pieces such as Dvorak's Largo and short compositions by Ravel.
Glenn Miller played big band jazz in the swing era (the 1940's). So his style can be considered "swing" or "big band" jazz.
