Special Notes

  • Do not create categories with the name containing quote marks (i.e. "Star" Brigade, "Star" should be Star), or the & character (i.e. Support & Supply should be Support and Supply). The characters are not supported in category names and will cause failures when trying to edit the category after it is created.
Caution
  • A lot of regiments and their abbreviations look the same. Look carefully through the listing before choosing a regiment.
Currently battalion and company sized units are not entered.
  • If a unit you wish to connect to has special notes for a company or battalion that is an integral part of a larger unit it may be added as a free space page. Separate command units smaller than regimental size may be created as categories.
