General Overview

The Military and War category tree

  • Category: Military
    • Category: <country> Armed Forces, for example: United States Armed Forces
      • Category: <Specific force branch>, for example: United States Army

Alternate paths to get to same place

Category: Categories - root of tree

  • Category: Regions
    • Category: North America
      • Category: United States of America
        • Category: United States Armed Forces - match point shown above in the PRIMARY PATH starting from Category: Military, can get to peacetime or wartime categories

Category: Categories - root of tree

  • Category: World History
    • Category: Military History
      • Category: United States Military History
        • Category: United States of America, World War II - match point shown above in the PRIMARY PATH starting from Category: Military, can get to peacetime or wartime categories

Much of this example structure uses United States Forces for the examples, but the correct country/forces should be put in place for your specific needs.

Peacetime/not assigned to combat theater

        • Category: United States Army Divisions - a sub category like this MAY be used if needed to separate makeup of the unit due to amount of type, or total number of units makes it easier to locate the correct next level
        • Category: United States Army Infantry Divisions - a sub category like this MAY be used if needed to separate makeup of the unit due to amount of type, or total number of units makes it easier to locate the correct next level
          • Category: 1st Infantry Division, United States Army
            • Category: United States Army Infantry Regiments - sub category MAY used if needed to distinguish types of regiments
            • Category: 1st Infantry Regiment, United States Army
        • Category: <country> Armed Forces - also seen as Category: <country> Defence Force>, with country as British, Italian, Japanese, Scottish, or the actual country/region name.
        • Category: <branch of service> sub categories for each of the service branches, with single name uniquely identifying it, else it needs some type of <country qualifier>, for example:
        • Category: British Army
        • Category: British Army, Great Britain
        • Category: British Army, United Kingdom

Wartime/assigned to combat theater

      • Category: United States Army Infantry Divisions, <war> - a sub category like this MAY be used if needed to separate makeup of the unit due to amount of type, or total number of units makes it easier to locate the correct next level
        • Category: 1st Infantry Division, United States Army, <war>
          • Category: United States Army Infantry Regiments - a sub category like this MAY be used if needed to distinguish types of regiments
            • Category: 1st Infantry Regiment, United States Army, <war>

Each <branch of service> will have sub categories for Category:<branch of service>, <war> that it was involved in.

For those that have a large number of units, other sub categories can be used to break them down, for instance Category: <branch of service> Divisions Category: <branch of service> Regiments Category: <branch of service> Air Wings

Category: <unit>, <branch of service> with <unit> being Army Group, Army, Corps, Division, Regiment, Fleet, Ship, Air Force, Wing, Group, etc, in most cases not going lower than a regimental (or equivalent) size unit. These names will change based on the country and the time frame involved

War Specific

Category: <war>

  • Category: <country>, <war> which will also be a sub category of Category: <country> (usually a country, but historically various regions fought wars)
  • Category: Generals, <war> - which will also be a sub category of Category: Generals. The military leaders of this war, Generals and Admirals, with sub categories by <country> and/or <service branch> as needed.
  • Category: Conflicts, <war> as needed. If the conflict is short and only has a few battles, it will not clutter the base category much to skip this category. Sub categories for the major Battles, Campaigns, Defense of, Offensive, Siege of, etc. actions that occurred during the war.
  • Category: Civilian Casualties, <war> - created as needed, primary usage will be for deaths from battles, bombings, retribution, genocide, etc. Could also have a sub category for wounded.

Ships

Ships are a little different, and usually considered as a basic element. They should start with USS, HMS, etc if used by that country, the name of the ship, then depending on the conventions of the country/time, (class-hull), (pennant number), (date of launch). Adding the country branch of service helps to place it properly, but some country leaders have decided that the prefix is enough to identify it correctly. They will also have generic peacetime and wartime specific categories

  • Category: USS Missouri (BB-62), United States Navy
  • Category: USS Missouri (BB-62), United States Navy, World War II
  • Category: HMS Prince of Wales (1902)
  • Category: HMS Prince of Wales (1902), British Royal Navy, World War I

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.

Current primary subordinate units are:
<!--
* <unit> from <date>
-->

A division can also have 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 profile user's unit has not been created yet, or is unknown, add the profile to this division category and as we review/monitor, we will create the unit category if appropriate and reassign the profile to it.

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.

Primary subordinate units were:
<!--
* <unit> from <date> to <date>
-->

A division can also have 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 profile user's unit has not been created yet, or is unknown, add the profile to this division category.

For the primary, peacetime category, see:

Third Level - Primary Categories for Profiles

Basic Level

This category is a primary location for user profiles and should not have any further sub-categories identified at this time. It is either a regiment/equivalent that may be further broken down into battalions/equivalent at a later time, or separate/independent units that do not fall under a regiment and are assigned directly to the Division, Corps, etc.

To add a profile to this category, place above the ==Biography== tag using the format of (replacing <item> with actual value)::

[[Category: <category name>]]

Basic Level War

This category is a primary location for user profiles and should not have any further sub-categories identified at this time. It is either a regiment/equivalent that may be further broken down into battalions/equivalent at a later time, or separate/independent units that do not fall under a regiment and are assigned directly to the Division, Corps, etc.

To add a profile to this category, place above the ==Biography== tag using the format of (replacing <item> with actual value)::

[[Category: <category name>]]


Add to Profile to Roll Up Unit

This category has (should have) sub categories of smaller units that it is composed of. Profiles should be placed in the narrowest category possible. In descending order (i.e. most to least desirable), using generic terms, add to:


Land - Naval - Air
Regiment Ship Group
Division Division Wing
Corps Squadron Division
Army Flotilla Air Force
Army Group Fleet

Note: For UK and Canada, the Air Group and Wing are reversed in order

If nothing more specific is known, or the person was assigned to the unit headquarters, add the profile to the category by adding the following to the profile above the ==Biography== section (replacing <item> with actual value):

for main/peacetime unit

[[Category: <unit or ship>, <service branch>]]

for wartime unit

[[Category: <unit or ship>, <service branch>, <war>]]

Basic Level Ship

This category is a primary location for user profiles and should not have any further sub-categories identified at this time. While a ships complement is split up into deck, gun, engine, etc, assignment is to the ship itself

To add a profile to this category, place above the ==Biography== tag using the format of (replacing <item> with actual value)::

[[Category: <category name>]]

Basic Level Ship War

This category is a primary location for user profiles and should not have any further sub-categories identified at this time. While a ships complement is split up into deck, gun, engine, etc, assignment is to the ship itself

To add a profile to this category, place above the ==Biography== tag using the format of (replacing <item> with actual value)::

[[Category:< category name>]]

In cases where a person was on a ship for a short time before/after a war, there is no need to also add them to the peacetime category for the ship. If they were on board for an extended period of peacetime duty, or had multiple assignments to the ship during both peace and war, adding the profile to both categories can be done at the PM's discretion.

Other

Add to Profile to Side

This is a roll up level category and should not have individual profiles. Profiles should be assigned to the country/state units when possible. If the state/unit is unknown, add the profile to this category.

Would Flying Camps be a new/separate category in this group? Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware troops responded to a call from Gen. Washington to enroll 10000 troops in the mid-Atlantic region to be mobilized when/where required. Enrollment was from July to December 1776. The Flying Camps either were dissolved or incorporated into other Regiments.

He was commissioned an ensign in the Second Regiment of the North Carolina Continental Line 1 Sept. 1775. With other Continentals from the New Bern District, he was dispatched to join General Washington's forces in the North, where important campaigns against powerful British forces were impending. He served with valor in campaigns there for more than three years and suffered wounds at the Battle of Brandywine. He was with General Washington's army during the miserable winter at Valley Forge. Afterward, he was transferred to the Fifth Regiment of the North Carolina Continental Line, in which he was captain of Caswell's Company.

Is there a Category/sub category/sticker/etc for the British Commonwealth Forces in Japan immediately following Japan's surrender? My father was a member of the B.C.O.F. and I was hoping to add him to the list of military people assigned from Australia to the B.C.O.F.

I just retired from the Air Force. We don't currently use Division as a designation. Instead, Division should be Command. Will you please add Squadron, then Flight below the Group level? Thanks!

OK, I give up. I have been trying to add a sticker to my father's profile James Arthur Tucker, Tucker-11497, for the Korean War. I just haven't been able to get it right.

I would rather not try to create this myself. I am likely to mess it up. I do not see a war of 1812 category for the 12th and 13th Consolidated Regiment out of Louisiana. Capt William Watson. I did see there was a free page on it, but it isn't a category yet.
