See:
- For now, we are not anticipating creating categories for units smaller than the regiment, i.e. battalions, companies, platoons, so while you should note that in the biography section of the profile, add the profile to the regiment, which should be listed below.
- If the profile user's regiment has not been created yet, or is unknown, add the profile to this division category.
- A division can also has separate battalions/companies that fall directly under the division and not under a regiment, for instance the HQ element for the general and his staff, a tank, artillery, engineer, etc unit. If the person was assigned to one of these units, add his profile to the this division category.
