Hi,

Is there somewhere I can look at to understand better how military units are named? How are Brigade named, then Bn, Rgt and so on. This may be evident for military people, not so much for me though.

This issue arose when I was working on the OPFOR Mot Bd but have been bugging me for longer than that.

Thanks.

Christian

Find the TacOps Library folder in your TacOps folder.

Skim through the Field Manual titled "101-5-1 Op Terms Graphics.pdf", Chapters 4 and 5 and Appendices A and B.

You will get a lot of superficial info and terms quickly.

You can then look up more detailed definitions of the terms by going to "JP1-02 DOD Dictionary.pdf".

Then prowl through the rest of the manuals in the library at your leisure.
