PREFACE
This standard provides common operational symbology along with details on its
display and plotting to ensure the compatibility and, to the greatest extent possible,
the interoperability of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) command and
control systems, operations, and training. It is intended to be equally applicable to
operations conducted by a coalition of NATO, partners, non-NATO nations or other
organizations.
This revised edition reflects a baseline of agreed changes1, provides additional

symbols, and reflects the harmonization initialised with all services.
Allied Procedural Publication APP6(D) focuses on the building block nature of

military symbols. It contains Figures and Tables that provide the user with standard
frames, icons, modifiers, and amplifiers using colour, graphic and alphanumeric
representations along with guidelines for their use.
It is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate further change, development

and input from the operators and users. Changes to these symbols and the addition
of new symbol sets will be worked through NATO procedures.
In case of conflict between any recommended non-NATO standard and relevant

NATO standard, the definition of the latter prevails.
1Icons imported into APP-6(D)(1) from MIL-STD-2525D are annotated "From MIL-STD-2525". Where
MIL-STD-2525 icons have not been included in the symbol tables their SIDCs have been retained to
account for all values. These icons are annotated as "Simplification of MIL-STD-2525 icon TBD".

CHAPTER 1. MILITARY SYMBOLS
1.1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.1. Scope
This publication provides a single standardized, structured set of graphical symbols

for the display of information in military systems and manual applications. A
standard method for symbol construction is provided using common building blocks
which shall be used to create current and future symbol sets2.
1.1.2. Purpose
1. The purpose of this publication is to establish a common standard for the

design, development and use of symbols depicting joint military activities. The
publication aims to enable a standard visual portrayal for all Command and Control
(C2) symbols and Control Measures symbols.
2. In command and control of military operations, the reality of the displayed

operational picture, its correct assessment and the decision-making speed are
decisive factors. In joint military operations, it is imperative to have a common
language clearly understood among all users. Graphical representation of objects,
commands, movements and additional information (including alphanumeric text and
colours) are observed and readily understood faster than merely text alone. This is
even more valid for a multinational user population with differences in language,
knowledge and experience. A common standard of joint military symbols is therefore
an important element to enhance efficiency and contribute to success in joint
operations.
1.1.3. Applicability
1. Allied Procedural Publication-6 (APP-6) applies to both electronic/automated

and hand-drawn graphic displays, both multi-coloured and monochrome. It shall be
applicable to mapping/charting as well as to engineering and design of system
symbols.
2. APP-6 shall be used by all NATO forces involved in operations, system

development, and training. It aims to serve as the basic standard building set for
current and future NATO implementations of symbol sets used in manual
applications and electronic display systems. Any nation that wishes to achieve
Symbology interoperability with NATO is required to use the same standard.
2The building block approach does not apply to the symbol sets in Chapter 8 Control Measure
Symbols, and Chapter 9 Meteorological Symbols.
1-1 Edition D Version 1

APP-6
1.1.4. Content
1. This publication provides building blocks for the standard composition of

symbols. This includes frame, icon, amplifiers and modifiers using colour, graphic
and alphanumeric representations. It gives detailed standards and requirements for
symbol construction and composition with a certain degree of flexibility for special
users needs.
2. The symbol set encompasses the graphic representation of units, equipment,

installations, and other elements and activities relevant to joint military operations. It
contains the building blocks for joint military symbols from the Dimensions Air
(Chapter 2), Land (Chapter 3), Dismounted Individual (Chapter 4), Maritime (Chapter
5), Space (Chapter 6) and the display of Stability Activities and Civil Support
Activities (Chapter 7).
3. In addition, APP-6 contains listed standardized symbols and figures for

Control Measures (Chapter 8) and elements of the International Standardization
Organization (ISO) Meteorological Symbol Set (Chapter 9).
1.1.5. Document Structure
Figure 1-1 shows the structure of this document.
Figure 1-1: Document Structure.
1.1.6. Military Symbology Objective
1. The objective of graphical joint military symbols is to convey information about

the object being depicted. Objects can either be physical (units, equipment,
installations and meteorological occurrences), non-physical (planning, Control
Measures), or anticipated locations with temporarily assigned characteristics or
temporary validity. Additionally, symbols are also used to convey activities and
operations for stability and civil support activities.

APP-6
2. While the focus of this publication is the display of symbols in modern multi-
chromatic electronic systems, all symbols must be usable in monochromatic systems
and as hand-drawn symbols. The need to reduce information cluttering on a tactical
display underlines the requirement of symbol display options with the possibility of
alternative symbol sizes and information displays.
1.2. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
Icon-based symbols represent units, equipment, installations, and activities from all
Dimensions. An icon-based symbol is a composition of a frame, fill, icon, modifiers,
and amplifiers (see Figure 1-2). These components are located within and around a
bounding octagon (see Figure 1-4). A symbol provides information about the
Standard Identity, operational environment, status, and mission of an operational
object.

1.2.1. Frame
1. The frame is the border of a symbol. The frame serves as the base to which
other symbol components are added and normally surrounds an icon. Frames are
required with some icons but not for others. When a frame is included in a symbol,
its shape indicates the Standard Identity, Dimension, and Status of the object and
shall be represented as shown in Table 1-1. A frame can be black or white
depending on display background, or it can be coloured using the default colours in
Table 1-8, to provide enhanced presentation information about Standard Identity.
a. Standard Identity. In imagery interpretation, identity is the

discrimination between objects within a particular type or class. Standard
Identity reflects the relationship between the viewer and the operational object
being monitored.
(1) The Standard Identity categories are Pending, Unknown, Friend,

Neutral, Hostile, Assumed Friend, and Suspect, (see Table 1-1).

APP-6
(2) A closed frame is used to denote the Land and Sea Surface
Dimensions, a frame open at the bottom to denote the Air and Space
Dimensions, and a frame open at the top to denote the Sea Subsurface
Dimension.
(3) A solid line is used when the identity of an entity is certain. A

solid line can be used with the Standard Identities of Friend, Hostile,
Neutral and Unknown.
(4) A dotted line of alternating black and white dots is used when the
identity of an entity is uncertain. A dotted line can be used with the
Standard Identities of Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the category
Pending. Figure 1-3 shows the display of black and white dotted lines
on various backgrounds.
(5) Standard Identity is not applicable to Meteorological

Oceanographic (METOC) symbols.
Figure 1-3: Examples of Black and White Dotted Lines on Various

Backgrounds.

APP-6
b. Dimension. A Dimension commonly reflects the physical environment

within which the primary mission of the object is conducted or the entity is
located. An object can have a mission area on, above or below the earth's
surface (divided into land or sea) or outside the earth's atmosphere.
(1) The Land Dimensions (Land Unit, Land Equipment and Land
Installation) are those which are physically located on the land surface
or close to the surface (e.g., land mines and underground shelters).
(2) The Sea Surface Dimension includes only those objects which
are on the sea surface. However, an amphibious vehicle whose primary
mission is to fight on land is categorized as Land Equipment.
(3) The Sea Subsurface Dimension includes those objects which

are below the sea surface (e.g., submarines and sea mines).
(4) Aircraft, regardless of service ownership, shall be depicted in the

Air or Space Dimension while air facilities shall be depicted as Land
Installations. Air related ground equipment and installations shall be
depicted in the Land Equipment or Installation Dimensions.
(5) Activity/Event, Unknown and Dismounted Individual are

categorised as Dimensions despite not having a direct relationship to a
specific physical environment.

Note: Frames displayed with solid lines or alternating black and white dotted lines, as shown above, indicate status as present, i.e., the object exists at the location
identified. See Table IV for examples of frames depicting planned or anticipated status.
Table 1-1: Standard Identities and Dimensions.

APP-6
c. Status. Status is used to express the location state, or condition of an

entity. Status can be Present or Confirmed, Anticipated, Planned, or
Suspected Positions. (See Table 1-2).
(1) The symbol frame shall be a solid line when indicating a status
of Present or Confirmed.
(2) The symbol frame shall be a dashed line when indicating a

status of Anticipated, Planned, or Suspected.
(3) Status will not be displayed when the Standard Identity of the
frame is uncertain as is the case for Assumed Friend, Suspect, or the
category of Pending. In these cases, the Frame is depicted as a dotted
line.
(4) Status cannot be shown when the symbol is unframed or is

displayed as a dot.

d. Fill. The fill is the interior area within a symbol. The fill colour may be
used to reinforce the Standard Identity expressed using the symbol shape
(see Table 1-7).
e. Colour. In unframed symbols, colour shall be the sole indicator of

Standard Identity, excluding text amplifiers. Table 1-8 defines the default
colours that shall be used to designate Standard Identity when coloured
symbols are either hand drawn or displayed electronically.
f. Icon. The icon is the innermost part of a symbol which provides an

abstract pictorial or alphanumeric representation of units, equipment,
installations, activities, or operations.
g. Modifiers. A modifier provides an alphanumeric or abstract pictorial

representation that is displayed in conjunction with an icon. It provides
additional information about the icon being displayed. Modifiers conform to the
bounding octagon and are placed either above, below or beside the icon.

APP-6
h. Amplifiers. An amplifier optionally provides additional information

about the symbol being portrayed and is displayed outside the frame. The
generic placement of amplifier fields is shown in Figure 1-4.
(1) Amplifier fields vary by dimension. The default placement of

amplifiers fields is specified in the subsequent chapters.
(2) To reduce display cluttering, only use minimum essential

amplifiers.
Figure 1-4: Standard Amplifier Fields.
(3) The operational condition amplifier provides a graphic

representation of an entitys (equipment or installation) operational
condition (see Table 1-3). An alternative operational condition colour
representation is shown in Table 1-4. Using the alternate colour
representation of Table 1-4 allows the condition of "Full to Capacity" to
be expressed.
(4) The "Rendered Ineffective" operational condition amplifier shall

be used when equipment capable of inflicting injury and/or death (IEDs
or mines) is known to have been defused or rendered inoperable while
under the control of friendly forces. The "Damaged" operational
condition amplifier shall be used where "Rendered Ineffective" does not
apply.
(5) "Full to Capacity" is associated with a symbolized object where

its capacity can be measured and the status of that capacity is relevant.

i. The position indicator shall extend a distance of one octagon

height below the bottom of the frame.
ii. The length of the movement indicator line shall be the same
as the height of the octagon.

iv. The speed leader shall point in the direction of movement.
v. The length of speed leader shall correspond to the speed of
the depicted symbol.

2. Echelon indicator. The echelon indicator provides a graphic representation

of command level and is used to show the element echelon on installations,
boundary lines, lines and areas. The indicator is shown in Figure 1-6.
3. Installation indicator. The installation indicator is a shaded block used to

show that a particular symbol denotes an installation. Although installations are
included in the symbol hierarchy, the addition of an installation indicator can turn any
tactical symbol into an installation. The indicator is shown in Figure 1-6.
4. Task force indicator. The task force indicator is a bracket that identifies a
unit or activities symbol as a task force. The indicator is shown in Figure 1-6.
5. Feint/dummy indicator. The feint or dummy indicator is a dashed inverted

"V" that identifies offensive or defensive units, equipment and installations intended
to draw the enemy's attention away from the area of the main attack. The indicator
is shown in Figure 1-6.
6. Offset location amplifier. The offset location amplifier is used when placing
an object away from its actual location. The amplifier is a line extending downward
from the left side of a frame or an appropriate anchor point on an icon. The offset
location amplifier differs from the headquarters staff amplifier in that the former has
an elbow extending to the actual location. The indicator is shown in Figure 1-6. In
addition, the actual location is given in latitude and longitude.

APP-6
7. Direction of movement amplifier. The direction of movement amplifier is an

arrow or staff identifying the direction of movement or intended movement of an
object. For land symbols, the amplifier is an angled arrow extending downward from
the bottom centre of the frame or icon and pointing in the direction of movement. For
all other symbols, the amplifier is an arrow extending from the centre of the frame or
icon and pointing in the direction of movement. The indicator is shown in Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-6: Static Graphic Modifiers for Tactical Symbols.
8. Engagement amplifier bar. The engagement amplifier bar may be used to

designate engagements and/or to indicate targets. Both may be done in conjunction
where depicted targets contain engagement information.
9. Engagement designation using the engagement amplifier bar.

Engagement bars are positioned immediately atop the hostile target and its assigned
friendly track. Example depictions of engagement bars are illustrated in Figure 1-7
and Figure 1-8.

10. The engagement bar may contain information on 1) remote/local engagement;

2) stage of the engagement (i.e., assign/cover, engage, hold fire, cease fire, cease
engage, break engagement, missile in flight); and 3) type of weapon assignment
(i.e., missile, gun, torpedo). The colour of the engagement bar should be identical to
its symbols Standard Identity. Therefore, engagement bars for a hostile target and a
friendly participating unit would have red and blue engagement bars, respectively
(see Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8). The colours of the engagement bars should have
the same RGB value as its respective symbol. All engagement bars should have a
black or white frame based on providing optimal contrast between the coloured
amplifier bar and the map background.
11. Target designation using the engagement amplifier bar. If the

engagement amplifier bar is used to designate targets, non-targets or expired
targets, a different colouring schema shall be used. Hostile tracks which are

APP-6
deemed targets shall have a red bar (RGB: 255, 0, 0) to indicate target. For hostile
tracks deemed to be non-targets, white (RGB: 255, 255, 255) should be used to
indicate non-target. Finally for hostile tracks which have expired shall be coloured
orange (RGB: 255, 120, 0). Figure 1-9 depicts the three target denotations.
HOSTILE TARGET HOSTILE NON-TARGET EXPIRED
Figure 1-9: Engagement Amplifier Bar Colours for Target Designation.
12. Engagement Status Text. If engagement text is incorporated, either white

(RGB: 255, 255, 255) or black (RGB: 0, 0, 0) may be used to denote engagement
status. Otherwise, for non-targets and expired tracks, engagement status within the
engagement amplifier bars shall remain black (see Figure 1-10).
HOSTILE TARGET HOSTILE TARGET HOSTILE NON-TARGET HOSTILE EXPIRED
Figure 1-10: Engagement Amplifier Bar Text Colours for Target Designation.
13. Engagement amplifier bar structure. The engagement amplifier shall be

arranged as follows: A:BBB-CC, where A (1 character) denotes a local versus
remote engagement, BBB (up to 3 characters) denotes engagement state and CC
(up to 2 characters) denotes weapon deployment/asset control.
14. Remote and local engagements. Remote and local engagements may be
identified in the engagement amplifier (part A of A:BBB-CC). A remote engagement
is defined as an engagement assigned outside of own platform control. A local
engagement is defined as an engagement assigned to own platform. Local
engagements shall have no letter assignment in the A:BBB-CC engagement bar;
whereas, remote engagements shall be denoted as R in the engagement bar. In
the case of multiple engagements, there may be a mixture of both local and remote
engagements. In such cases, B shall be denoted to indicate both local and remote
engagements and shall be used in conjunction with the multiple engagements
amplifier (MLT).
15. Engagement stage. Engagement stage may be identified by up to a three-

character code (part BBB of A:BBB-CC). Typical engagement stages to depict
include assign/cover, engage and missile(s) in flight. Other engagement events
such as hold fire, cease fire, cease engage, break engagement, terminate
engagement, management by exception, management by exception less than
threshold and others may be depicted in the engagement amplifier. In the case of
multiple engagements where no one specific engagement is highlighted, MLT may

APP-6
be used to indicate multiple engagements. In conjunction with the MLT designation,

the number of engagements shall be listed in the subsequent CC field. Table 1-5
depicts engagement stage codes.

16. Weapons assignment or deployment. Weapons assignment or deployment

may also be presented in the engagement amplifier (part CC of A:BBB-CC). Either
deployed weapons such as missiles, guns and torpedoes or controlled assets such
as unmanned systems, interceptor aircraft and attack aircraft may have
representation in the engagement bar. In the case where multiple engagements are
represented within a single engagement amplifier bar, the number of engagements
starting from 02 shall be used in the CC field. Table 1-6 depicts weapon and asset

2. The bounding octagon serves as the spatial reference for placement of icons
and modifiers within the frame of a symbol (see Figure 1-15). It is divided into three
sectors that specify where icons and modifiers are positioned and how much space
is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. To optimize legibility, icons may be
enlarged within the constraints of the bounding octagon when one or no modifiers
are displayed.
3. Full frame icons occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the
main sector of the bounding octagon and touch the interior border of the frame. Most
icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the bounding octagon, but
full frame icons are exceptions to this size rule (See Figure 1-12 for examples). Full
frame icons occur only in the Land Dimension and Dismounted Individual Dimension
(See Chapters 3 and 4).

Figure 1-12: Examples for Full Frame Icons.
4. Full Octagon icons are icons that do not adhere to the sectors of the bounding
octagon and do not exceed the dimensions of the bounding octagon (see Figure
1-13 for an example).
Figure 1-13: Example of a Full Octagon Icon
5. When depicted, modifiers shall be placed in sectors 1 or 2 of the bounding

octagon as appropriate. Only one modifier may be placed in each sector at a given
time. Multiple modifiers in the same position are prohibited due to legibility concerns.
A modifier may not be placed in any sector where the modifier overlaps the icon.
6. The placement of icons, modifiers and amplifiers is the same regardless of

frame shape or Standard Identity.
1.2.3. Control Measure Symbols
1. Control Measures are directives given to assign responsibilities, coordinate

fires and manoeuvre, and control operations. They may be boundaries, special area
designations, and other unique markings related to operational environment
geometry and necessary for planning and management of operations. Control
Measure symbols provide graphical operational information that cannot be displayed
via icon based symbols alone.
a. Control Measure symbols can be displayed as points, lines, areas or

tactical mission tasks (for examples see Figure 1-14), and can be combined
with other symbols, icons and modifiers.

APP-6
b. Control Measure symbols do not follow the same building rules as the
icon based symbols but shall be built in accordance with the rules related to
the individual Control Measure symbol groups.
2. Colour usage is dependent on the system display background. Monochrome

systems will use black or white, and colour systems can use black, blue (friendly),
red (hostile), green (obstacles), or yellow (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear
(CBRN) contaminated area fill). Description, placement and further details of Control
Measures symbols are addressed in Chapter 8.

1.3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.3.1. Scope
This section provides additional technical specifications concerning the composition

of symbols. These are intended to present requirements for an effective
implementation of military Symbology (METOC and Control Measure symbols
excluded).
1.3.2. Procedural Requirements
1. Symbol frame sizes shall be as depicted in Table 1-7.
2. The minimum diameter of a dot should be 0.15L.
3. Icons must not be so large as to touch the interior border of the frame. Only
full frame icons are an exception to this sizing rule because they occupy the entire
symbol and must therefore touch the interior border of the frame (see Table 1-7).

4. The frame size shall be determined in relation to an octagon defining the outer
boundary for all icons. "L" is the default length and height of the octagon (see Table
1-7).
a. Frame length and height may vary from 1.0L to 1.5L, depending on the
particular shape.
b. The dimensions of unframed icons should be the same as framed

icons.
5. The relative dimensions for the sectors in the bounding octagon shall be as
shown in Figure 1-15.

6. It is critical that the line width is sufficient to ensure frame legibility and
discriminability at normal viewing distance. The optimum line width may differ
depending on frame size and be affected by whether the frame is filled or unfilled
and displayed in colour or black/white. Usability testing should be performed to
identify the optimum rendering for a given implementation.
7. Table 1-8 contains the default colours for use within this standard. Colour
saturation may need to vary depending on the display option(s) selected. For
example, to ensure optimum symbol discrimination, different shades of red may be
needed in a frame-only symbol as compared to the colour fill in a symbol with a black
frame and icon.

CHAPTER 2. AIR SYMBOLS
2.1. SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for air assets and their activities. Air installations and
headquarters are covered in Chapter 3 "Land Symbols", while airspace coordination
and planning is part of Chapter 8 "Control Measures Symbols."
2.2. AIR OPERATIONS SYMBOL CHARACTERISTICS
1. Air assets use the third dimension in order to create effects that contribute to
the achievement of Joint Force Commander objectives. Reach, speed and
manoeuvrability are some of their inherent capabilities.
2. In order to depict fast moving airspace users manoeuvring across large areas,
the following specific requirements for the air picture production have to be met:
a. The picture has to be updated near real time.
b. Vectors have to be provided to help to anticipate movement of own,

neutral and hostile objects.
c. Wherever known, relevant data, like "aircraft type," "call sign,"

"mission," "origin," "destination" etc. have to be affiliated to the objects without
cluttering the display.
d. Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to

operators.
2.3. BUILDING AIR SYMBOLS
2.3.1. General
1. This section establishes a single standard for developing Air symbols. It

includes a variety of Air related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for building symbols.
However, no attempt to depict all possible Air symbols has been made, but the
symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all Air Standard Identities
defined in STANAG 1241.
2. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, any desired unit can be
depicted using the following logical sequence provided in this chapter:
a. When representing not yet defined units, select the most appropriate
symbol combination contained herein.
b. Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of

symbols that differ from those laid down in this publication.

APP-6
c. If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an

accompanying legend.
2.3.2. Air Symbol Composition
An Air symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon, modifiers, and amplifiers as
shown in Figure 2-1. The placement/sizing of icons and modifiers for Air symbols
shall comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.

Step No. Description Examples
Choose the frame according to

Step 1
Standard Identity.
Step 2 Choose and add main sector icon.
Choose and add a modifier in either

Step 3 sector 1 or sector 2 if applicable or
deemed necessary for visualization.
Choose and add a second modifier

if applicable and/or deemed
Step 4 necessary for visual representation.
Note: Only one modifier is permitted
per modifier position
Table 2-1: Air Symbol Composition Process.
2.3.4. Amplifier Fields
1. The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize

the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e., identity, location and
movement, and capabilities. Figure 2-2 shows the placement of amplifier fields
around an Air symbol frame. The placement of the label is the same regardless of
frame shape or affiliation.

APP-6
Figure 2-2: Air Amplifier Fields.
2. In comparison to amplifier fields for Land symbols, Air amplifier fields

constitute a reduction in the amount of information displayed.
3. On the tactical display:
a. Information about a displayed object is conveyed by the symbol via

frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding. There may be additional
information that cannot be conveyed by graphical means but by written
(alphanumerical) information only.
b. Information can be displayed either in secondary information fields

outside the tactical screen (a method that forces the operator to a constant
shift of focus and will not be considered further in this text) or by use of
amplifier fields.
c. Label is not shown in default mode. It is the users task to define and
call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally,
the user must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce
screen clutter and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical
situation. Table 2-2 provides a list of amplifier field content for Air symbols.

CHAPTER 3. LAND SYMBOLS
3.1 SCOPE
As stated in Chapter 1, there are basic elements in the building of military symbols
that are common to all environments. This chapter elaborates on those common
elements and is divided into three sections. Section 3.2 provides the basics for
building Land Unit, and Organization symbols. Section 3.3 provides the basics for
building Land Equipment symbols. Section 3.4 provides the basics for building Land
Installation symbols.
3.1.1 Land Symbol Hierarchy
Figure 3-1 shows the hierarchy of Land Symbol Sets generated to support planning
and conduct of land operations.

3.2 BUILDING LAND UNIT AND CIVILIAN ORGANIZATION SYMBOLS
3.2.1 General
1. This section establishes a single standard for developing Land Unit and
Organization symbols. It includes a wide variety of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers
for building a wide variety of symbols. However, no attempt has been made to depict
all possible combinations, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for
depicting all Standard Identities for unit, and civilian organizations.
2. These Land symbols are based on a hand drawn system that has been in use
for many years. As this system has been further developed for use for computer
generated graphics, the number of departures from standard rules has become
apparent to users. The user should be aware of this fact when using this standard.
3. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed standardization requirements,

any desired symbol can be developed using the sequence provided in this chapter.
a. When representing unorthodox units and civilian organizations, select

the most appropriate symbol contained herein.
b. Avoid using any symbols or combinations and modifications of

symbols that differ from those in this publication.

APP-6
c. If it is necessary to create a new symbol, explain the symbol in an

accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may have difficulty in
passing non-standard symbols.
3.3 LAND UNIT AND CIVILIAN ORGANIZATION SYMBOL COMPOSITION
A Unit, or Organization symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), icon, modifier,

and amplifiers (Figure 3-2).

3.3.1 Land Unit and Civilian Organization Symbol Composition Process
Table 3-1 provides the steps used to build Land Unit and Civilian Organization
symbols.
Step No. Description Example

Choose the frame that matches the
Standard Identity and land symbol type of
the object from the land columns in Table
Step 1 1-1. In this example, the Standard Identity
is friend and the land symbol type is unit.
The example depicts a "friendly unit."
Choose an icon for the symbol. In this

example, the icon is "infantry," a land
entity type. The infantry icon is a full frame
icon; therefore, the friend version of the
infantry icon shall be used with the friend
Step 2 frame. If the frame were hostile, then the
hostile version of the infantry icon would
be used.
The example depicts a "friendly infantry

unit."
If required, choose a modifier to depict an
additional characteristic of the icon. In this
example, the modifier is "airborne," a
Step 3 sector 2 modifier.
The example depicts a "friendly airborne

infantry unit."
The finished symbol will appear as shown

Step 4
in the example.

3.3.2 Amplifier Fields
1. The purpose of amplifier fields is to standardize the display of additional

alphanumerical information that graphically describes a unit, and provides additional
information on capabilities, status, location, etc. Figure 3-3 shows the placement of
unit icon, modifier, and amplifier fields around the friendly land unit symbol frame.
The placement of unit icon, modifier, and amplifier information fields is the same
regardless of frame shape or affiliation. See Section 1.2., in Chapter 1 for a fuller
discussion of icons, modifiers, and amplifiers.
Figure 3-3: Land Unit and Civilian Organization Symbol Amplifier Fields.
2. Table 3-2 provides a description of each of the unit symbol amplifying

information fields as shown in Figure 3-3.

3.3.3 Icon and Modifier Placement Inside Bounding Octagon
Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and
modifiers within the bounding octagon. The bounding octagon is divided into three
is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. Figure 3-4 provides examples showing
the sectors for each of the frame shape types. The lettering size for text icons and
modifiers will vary based on the number of letters used.
Figure 3-4: Location of Icons and Modifiers.
3.3.4 Main Icon Procedural Requirements
1. Icons in the main sector (Figure 3-5) normally reflect the main function of the
symbol, but in some cases can also reflect modifying information (e.g., armoured
engineers). In most cases, the dimensions of the icon will be sized to occupy as
much area in the main sector as is available. However, in some cases the icon may
be reduced to allow more room for modifiers. The placement/sizing of icons and
modifiers for Land Unit symbols shall comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.

APP-6
Figure 3-5: Main Icons Sector.
2. Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the
bounding octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. The only exception to
the bounding octagon size rule are the full frame icons. Full frame icons can occupy
the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the bounding octagon main sector,
and touch the interior border of the frame. The diagonal lines used for full frames
icons such as infantry, reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be angled to conform to the
shape of the frame. Figure 3-6 displays the usage and placement of a full frame icon.

3.3.9 Locating Land Unit Symbols
1. The centre of mass of the unit symbol indicates the general vicinity of the
centre of mass of the unit. To indicate a precise location or reduce clutter in an area
with multiple units, a line (without an arrow) extends from the centre of the bottom of
the frame to the unit location displayed as field "S".
a. The line may be extended or bent as depicted in Figure 3-9.
Figure 3-9: Offset Unit Location.
b. If a group of units (or installations) other than a headquarters is at one

location, the grouping of the symbols may be enclosed with a bracket and the
exact location indicated by a line from the centre of the bracket (see Figure
3-10).
Figure 3-10: Multiple Units in Same Location.
2. Headquarters unit symbols include a staff or line drawn from the bottom left
hand corner displayed as field "S".

3.4 LAND EQUIPMENT SYMBOLS
3.4.1 General
1. This section establishes a single standard for developing Land Equipment

symbols. It provides a wide selection of Land Equipment icons with a standard
method for constructing Land Equipment symbols. Once the user is familiar with the
prescribed system, any Land Equipment symbol can be developed using the logical
sequence provided in this chapter.
2. If, after searching doctrinal icons, it is necessary to create a new symbol,

explain the symbol in an accompanying legend. Computer-generated systems may
have difficulty in passing non-standard symbols.
3.4.2 Equipment Symbol Composition
1. Land Equipment symbols are normally composed of a frame which is optional,

colour (fill), equipment icon, modifier, and text or graphic amplifiers (see Figure
3-13).
2. Icons and modifiers for equipment are displayed differently for weapons
systems and vehicles.
3. Most of the icons fill the entire frame and their size modifier is part of the icon,
normally located in the main sector.
4. The mobility is shown outside the frame as a graphic amplifier.
5. A non-standard symbol is used for the building section to show a similar

pattern for development while showing the variation of this legacy system.

3.4.5 Equipment Icons and Modifiers Placement Inside Bounding Octagon
1. Land Equipment symbols use the bounding octagon as described in chapter 1

in section 1.2.2., and as the foundation for placement of icons and modifiers. Those
icons and modifiers will not extend outside the boundaries of the bounding octagon
(See Figure 3-15).
Figure 3-15: Icon Placement for Full Octagon Icons.
2. Most equipment icons are full octagon icons. However, there are exceptions
to full frame equipment icons and those will be in the main sector (Figure 3-16).
Friendly frames (circles) are used in Table 3-17 simply to illustrate the framed
location of equipment icons. The frame shape appropriate to the equipment being
displayed would normally be used in practice. The placement/sizing of icons and
modifiers for Land Equipment symbols shall comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.

3.4.9 Equipment Size or Range Indicators
In building equipment symbols, horizontal or vertical lines are added for size or range
indicators. If an equipment symbol has no lines, it is a basic equipment symbol.
Adding one line designates it as light or short-range. Adding two lines designates it
as medium or medium-range. Finally, adding three lines designates it as heavy or
long-range. Examples of weight and range indicator definitions are shown in Table
3-20.

1 Cannon artillery has a very heavy category: greater than 210 mm, but there is no modifier.
A utility helicopter is a multi-purpose helicopter. A utility military helicopter can fill roles such as ground attack, air
assault, military logistics, medical evacuation, command and control, and troop transport. Some overlap of
terminology is inevitable with transport helicopter.

3.5 LAND INSTALLATION SYMBOLS
Installations are sites that incorporate permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary

structures.
3.5.1 General
This chapter establishes a single standard system for the development of a variety of
Installation symbols. Avoid using any symbols, or combinations and modifications of
symbols, different from those in this publication. If, after searching the doctrinal
symbols and modifiers in this publication, a new symbol must be created, explain it in
an accompanying legend.
3.5.2 Installation Symbols Composition and Process
1. An Installation symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), Installation icon,

text or graphic modifiers (Figure 3-17), and text or graphic amplifiers.

3.5.4 Installation Icons and Modifiers Placement inside Bounding Octagon

(Field A)
1. The bounding octagon is divided into three sectors that specify where icons
and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing of icons and
modifiers. Figure 3-19 provides examples showing the sectors for each of the frame
shape types. The lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary based on the
number of letters used.
FRIENDLY HOSTILE
NEUTRAL UNKNOWN
Figure 3-19: Location of Icons and Modifiers.
2. Most Icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the bounding
octagon or touch the interior border of the frame. However, full frame icons are an
exception to this size rule. Full frame icons exceed the dimensions of the main
sector of the bounding octagon and touch the interior border of the frame (see Figure
3-20). The placing/sizing of icons and modifiers for Land Installation symbols shall
comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.

CHAPTER 4. DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOLS
4.1. GENERAL
This chapter establishes a single standard for developing land symbols representing
individuals. It provides a selection of icons capable of depicting dismounted soldiers
and other individuals with a standard construction method. Once the user is familiar
with the prescribed system, any symbol of an individual can be developed using the
logical sequence provided in this chapter.
4.2. DISMOUNTED INDIVIDUAL SYMBOL COMPOSITION
A Dismounted Individual symbol is normally composed of a frame (which is optional),

colour (fill) and may include icons, modifiers, and text or graphic amplifiers (see
Figure 4-1). A Dismounted Individual with a Standard Identity of Friend or Assumed
Friend has a specific hexagon frame shape whereas for all other Standard Identities
the usual frame shape for Land Unit symbols is used. In those cases a Dismounted
Individual is identified by a short horizontal dash within the frame as a sector 1
modifier (see Table 4-6). Figure 4-2 provides examples for such symbols. Table 4-1
provides an example for the steps used to build Dismounted Individual symbols.
Figure 4-1: Dismounted Individual Symbol Composition.

APP-6
4.2.1. Dismounted Individual Symbol Composition Process
Table 4-1 provides the steps used to build Dismounted Individual symbols.
Table 4-1: Building Dismounted Individual Symbols with Frames
First choose the frame that

matches the standard identity
of the Dismounted Individual
Step 1
symbol (e.g. friendly, hostile,
neutral). In this example, the
Standard Identity is Friend. Friendly Individual

Then choose the basic icon

for field A. In this example,
Step 2 it is the icon Rifle.
(See Figure 4-4 and Table
4-5.) Friendly Individual with Rifle
If needed, choose the sector

1 modifier. In this example, it
Step 3
is the modifier Squad.
(See Table 4-6.) Friendly Individual with Rifle
from Squad
If needed, choose the sector

2 modifier. In this example, it
Step 4
is the rank code OR-7.
(See Table 4-7.) Friendly Individual, Rank OR-7,
with Rifle from Squad

APP-6
Table 4-1: Building Dismounted Individual Symbols with Frames
Choose the leadership

indicator amplifier for field D.
Step 5 In this example, the
leadership indicator amplifier
is Leader. (See Table 4-8.) Friendly Individual, Rank OR-7,
Squad Leader with Rifle
Choose text amplifiers as

necessary to provide further
Step 6 information. In this example,
the text amplifier indicates the Friendly Individual, Rank OR-7,
higher formation. Squad Leader with Rifle, 3rd
Platoon, 2nd Company, 161st

1. The placement of Dismounted Individual symbol modifier fields is the same

regardless of frame shape or Standard Identity Figure 4-3 shows the placement of
modifier and amplifier labelling fields in relationship to a frame with a Standard
Identity of Friend.

4.2.3. Dismounted Individual Icons and Modifiers Placement Inside Bounding

Octagon
Chapter 1, section 1.2.2., serves as the foundation for placement of icons and
modifiers within the bounding octagon. The bounding octagon is divided into three
is available for sizing of icons and modifiers. The placing/sizing of icons and
modifiers for Dismounted Induvial symbols shall comply with the guidance at para
1.2.2. Figure 4-4 provides an example showing the sectors for a Dismounted
Individual frame with a Standard Identity of Friend. The lettering size for text icons
and modifiers will vary based on the number of letters used.

2. Most main icons do not exceed the dimensions of the main sector of the
bounding octagon or touch the interior border of the frame.
3. An exception to the bounding octagon size rule are the full frame icons. Full
frame icons can occupy the entire frame and exceed the dimensions of the bounding
octagon main sector, and touch the interior border of the frame. The diagonal lines
used for full frames icons such as infantry, reconnaissance, signal, etc. will be
angled to conform to the shape of the frame.

CHAPTER 5. MARITIME SYMBOLS
5.1. SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for operations in the Maritime Dimension, and
establishes a single standard and the basics for building military symbols in the
Maritime Dimension.
5.1.1. Maritime Dimension Symbol Characteristics
1. The Maritime Dimension is composed of the Sea Surface and Sea

Subsurface operating environments.
2. In the Maritime Dimension, a ship is both a unit and equipment, and is

normally represented by a Sea Surface or Sea Subsurface icon with equipment
frame. Unmanned equipment exists in the Sea Surface and Sea Subsurface
environments. Such equipment includes stationary or moving sensor carriers,
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) or stationary or moving weapons (mines
and torpedoes).
3. The Sea Surface environment contains a multitude of non-military ships and

stationary objects (e.g. oil rigs), which are the primary objects of military operations
(protect, control, deny, access, and destroy).
5.1.2. General
1. The chapter is divided into two sections. Section I covers Sea Surface
symbols and Section II Sea Subsurface symbols. Each section contains both
military and non-military, civilian symbols. The symbols are accordingly subdivided
into:
a. Sea Surface warfare units, equipment and objects.
b. Sea Subsurface warfare units, equipment and objects.
2. Maritime Control Measures symbols (points, lines, areas, commands,

standard positions, emergencies, hazards and sonobuoys) are shown in Chapter 8.
5.2. SEA SURFACE SYMBOLS
5.2.1. Symbol Subset Structure
The units, equipment, and objects of maritime Sea Surface operations as described
in paragraph 5.1.2., are further subdivided into the following:
a. Military Sea Surface objects (units), consisting of:

APP-6
(1) Surface warfare (line ships) units.
(2) Amphibious warfare units.
(3) Mine warfare units.
(4) Task organization units military.
(5) Non-combatants /auxiliaries and service craft.
b. Non-military Sea Surface objects (ships, boats and installations).
5.2.2. Sea Surface Symbol Composition
1. A Sea Surface symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icons

(pictogram and/or letters), modifiers and amplifiers (Figure 5-1).
Sector 1 Modifier

Sector 2 Modifier

Note: only one modifier is permitted
per modifier position.
Table 5-1: Sea Surface Symbol Composition Process.
5.2.3. Sea Surface Main Icons and Modifiers
1. To ensure that all icons and modifiers can be depicted in all Standard
Identities, they must fit into the boundaries of the bounding octagon presented in
Figure 5-2 and adhere to the rules provided in Chapter 1.
2. Main icons shall be placed within the "MAIN" sector of the bounding octagon.
Icons may be re-sized accordingly due to the presence or absence of modifiers in
order to optimise legibility. Icons may be single icons or compound icons.

APP-6
3. Modifiers may be placed above (bounding octagon sector 1) and below

(bounding octagon sector 2) of the icon (see Figure 5-2). Only one modifier may be
placed within sector 1 or 2 at a given time. Multiple modifiers in the same position
are prohibited due to legibility concerns. The placing/sizing of icons and modifiers
for Sea Surface symbols shall comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.
Figure 5-2: Icon and Modifier Sectors for Sea Surface Symbols.
4. Sea Surface Sector 1 Modifiers.
a. Used to denote categories such as:
(1) Mission area.
(2) Weapons capability.
(3) Asset capability.
(4) Crime.
5. Sea Surface Sector 2 Modifiers.
a. Used to denote categories such as:
(1) Ship propulsion.
(2) Ship mobility.
(3) Ship capacity.
(4) Cargo capacity.
(5) Unmanned Surface Water Vehicle (USV) control.

APP-6
5.2.4. Sea Surface Amplifiers
1. The purpose of the amplifiers described in this section is to standardize the

display of additional alphanumerical information on identity, movement and location,
capabilities, etc. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object is
conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding.
2. The set of amplifiers for Sea Surface symbols including track number, type,
location, speed etc., shall be displayed in the amplifier fields around the symbol. The
speed leader is a dynamic amplifier that depicts the speed and direction of
movement (course) and originates from the centre of the object. The length of the
speed leader corresponds to the speed of the object. Figure 5-3 shows the
placement of amplifiers with a symbol frame. The placement of the amplifier is the
same regardless of frame shape or Standard Identity.
Figure 5-3: Sea Surface Symbol Amplifier Fields.
3. Maritime Dimension symbol amplifiers require a reduced amount of

information to be displayed in one position relative to the symbol as compared to
Land Symbols (see Chapter 3).
4. The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be
conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means.
a. Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.
b. Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen.

This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be
considered further in this text.
5. In the default mode, the amplifier is not shown. It is the users task to define
and call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the
user must be enabled to suppress the amplifier to reduce screen clutter and call it up
again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation.

APP-6
6. Table 5-2 provides the possibilities of information display for military and non-
military surface objects by amplifiers.

5.2.5. Sea Surface Main Icons
1. The 2 and 3-letter codes are used in the military Sea Surface icons are in
accordance with STANAG 1166.
2. Non-military, civilian Sea Surface icons:
a. Displayed with a Standard Identity colour frame, but with an unfilled

icon to differentiate from military units.
b. The single letter codes used within the merchant ship icons are derived
from the STANAG 1166 as the 3rd letter specifying the type of the merchant
ship.
c. Other types of non-military sea surface vessels, the icons/letter codes

of the symbol were chosen without STANAG reference.
d. In order to enable the operator to "de-clutter" a large display, civilian

symbols may be displayed in reduced-size symbols without a frame but with

1. Local Tracks. Local tracks are tracks internal to a particular Combat

Information Centre (CIC). These tracks are not intended to be transmitted outside
the ships CIC. Modifiers are not permitted with local track symbols.
2. Fused tracks. Fused tracks are tracks in the process of classification.

Multiple sources of incoming information need to be adjudicated and combined
(fused) into a single track. Fused tracks are denoted by a question mark (?)
encapsulated within an hourglass icon. All fused tracks have a Pending Standard
Identity frame.

5.3.8. Mine Warfare Icons
1. Mine Warfare (MW) symbols are represented using Mine Warfare

Environmental Decision Aids Library (MEDAL) icons embedded within APP-6
standard identity frames. The colour in MEDAL icons represents the threat level of
that contact. Red denotes mine, orange denotes mine-like contact (MILCO), yellow
denotes mine-like echo (MILEC), dark green denotes non-mine mine-like object (or
non-mine) and bright green denotes neutralized mine. An alternative icon set
directly corresponding to MEDAL icons may also be used. The alternative set
depicts the same MEDAL icons, but depicts them as black icons eliminating the
colour threat coding scheme. The MEDAL icons shall be used with unfilled
subsurface frames. The alternative icons shall be used with the normal subsurface
frames.

CHAPTER 6. SPACE SYMBOLS
6.1. SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols for space assets, related activities and other relevant
objects (debris) within Earth's orbit. Space-related ground installations are covered
in Chapter 3 "Land Symbols".
6.1.1. Space Operations Symbol Characteristics
1. Security and military operations are dependent on space capabilities for

command and control (C2), communications, situation awareness, and intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The persistence (always on orbit),
perspective (high altitude), penetration (no over flight restrictions), and presence
(ability to provide combat support without being physically located with forward
forces) of space systems provide forces beyond line of sight secure communications.
2. In order to depict fast moving space users manoeuvring across large areas,
the following specific requirements for the air picture production have to be met:
a. The picture has to be updated in near real-time.
b. Vectors have to be provided to help anticipate movement of own,

neutral and hostile objects.
c. Wherever known, relevant data like "type", "mission", "operator",

"capabilities" etc. have to be affiliated to the objects without cluttering the
display.
d. Objects may overlap on the display but must still be recognisable to

controllers.
e. Depending on the scenario, the display may contain a multitude of

moving objects (debris).
6.2. BUILDING SPACE SYMBOLS
6.2.1. General
1. This section establishes a single standard method for developing Space

symbols. It includes a variety of Space related icons, modifiers, and amplifiers for
building symbols. However, no attempt to depict all possible Space symbols has
been made, but the symbols shown in this chapter are adequate for depicting all
Standard Identities.

APP-6
2. Once the user is familiar with the prescribed system, a symbol for any
conceivable object can be created using the logical sequence provided in this
chapter.
a. When representing not yet defined objects, the most appropriate

symbol combination contained herein shall be selected.
b. Any symbols, or combinations and modifications of symbols that differ

from those laid down in this publication should be avoided.
c. If, after searching icons and modifiers given in this publication, it is

necessary to create a new symbol, the symbol shall be explained in an
accompanying legend.
d. Automated systems may have difficulty in passing non-standard

symbols.
6.2.2. Space Symbol Composition
1. A Space symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), functional icon (main

icon), and modifiers (secondary icons) (Figure 6-1). The placing/sizing of icons and
modifiers for Space symbols shall comply with the guidance at para 1.2.2.

Step 4 deemed necessary for visualization.
Note: Only one modifier is
permitted per modifier position.
Table 6-1: Building Space Symbols.

APP-6
6.2.4. Amplifier Fields.
1. The purpose of the amplifier fields described in this section is to standardize

the display of additional alphanumerical information, i.e. on identity, location and
movement, capabilities. On the tactical display, information about a displayed object
is conveyed by the symbol via frame shape, icon/letter and colour coding.
2. Space amplifier fields are to be displayed in one position relative to the

symbol, its right side and not in different and separate positions all around it. Track
number, name, position, and nation are considered essential information and
displayed in fields 1 through 5 to the right of the symbol. The placement of the label
is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. Figure 6-2 shows the placement
of amplifier fields around a Space symbol frame.
Figure 6-2: Space Symbol Amplifier Fields.
3. The following are 2 methods of adding additional information that can only be
conveyed alphanumerically, and not by graphical means.
a. Use of amplifiers in the form of symbol labels.
b. Displaying in secondary information fields outside the tactical screen.

This method forces the operator to a constant shift of focus and will not be
considered further in this text.
4. In the default mode, the label is not shown. It is the users task to define and
call up for display the information considered to be necessary. Additionally, the user
must be enabled to suppress the filled and displayed label to reduce screen clutter
and call it up again as considered appropriate to the tactical situation.
5. Table 6-2 lists the contents and descriptions for the Space amplifier fields.

CHAPTER 7. STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS
7.1. SCOPE
This chapter covers symbols used in relation to stability and civil support activities.
7.1.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Characteristics
1. Alliance security interests can be affected by risks of a wide nature, including

acts of terrorism, sabotage and organized crime, and by the disruption of the flow of
vital resources. Additionally, the uncontrolled movement of large numbers of people,
particularly because of armed conflicts, can also pose problems for security and
stability affecting the Alliance.
2. The Joint Force Commander requires a set of symbols that provide the
capability to depict stability activities and civil support activities across the continuum
of operations. This set of symbols, as with the other sets in this publication, is built
upon the basics as described in Chapter 1.
7.2. BUILDING STABILITY AND CIVIL SUPPORT ACTIVITIES SYMBOLS
7.2.1. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Composition
An Activity symbol is composed of a frame, colour (fill), Activity functional icon,

modifiers (secondary icons), and text/graphic amplifiers (Figure 7-1).

Sector 2 Modifier
Figure 7-1: Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Composition.
7.2.2. Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol Composition Process
Table 7-1 provides the steps for building an Activity symbol. Once the user is
familiar with the system any desired symbol can be developed using this logical
sequence.

Table 7-1: Building Stability and Civil Support Activities Symbol.
7.2.3. Stability and Civil Support Activities Icon, Modifier, and Amplifier Fields
1. The purpose of Activity icon, modifier, and amplifier fields is to standardize the
location of information that graphically describes a stability and civil support activity
and to provide additional information on capabilities, status, location, etc.
2. The placement of Activity icon, modifier, and amplifier information fields is the
same regardless of frame shape or affiliation. Figure 7-2 shows the placement of the
Activity icon, modifier, and amplifier fields around the friendly Activity symbol frame

3. Table 7-2 provides a description of each of the unit symbol amplifying

information fields as shown in Figure 7-2. See Chapter 1, paragraph 1.2., for a
description of and more information on amplifiers.

W Date-Time Group An alphanumeric designator for Text
displaying a date-time group
(DDHHMMSSZMONYY) or "O/O" for on
order. The date-time group is composed
of a group of six numeric digits with a
time zone suffix and the standardized
three-letter abbreviation for the month
followed by two digits. The first pair of
digits represents the day; the second
pair, the hour; the third pair, the minutes.
The last two digits of the year are after
the month. For automated systems, two
digits may be added before the time
zone suffix and after the minutes to
designate seconds.
Y Location A text amplifier for units, equipment and 3317.0921N
installations that displays a symbols 04412.6332E

minutes (or in MGRS, GARS, or other 38SMB2649083
applicable display formats). 145
AS Country Indicator A 3-letter code representing Text
geographical entity. In stability activities,
this field can be used for factions or
groups.
Table 7-2: Description of Icon, Modifier, and Amplifier Fields.
7.2.4. Icons and Modifiers Placement Inside Bounding Octagon
1. In general, icons should not be so large as to exceed the dimensions of the

main sector of the bounding octagon or touch the interior border of the frame.
2. Full frame icons are exceptions to this size rule, and exceed the dimensions
of the main sector of the bounding octagon and touch the interior border of the
frame. See Chapter 3 for more information concerning full frame icons.
3. The bounding octagon is divided into three sectors that specify where icons
and modifiers are positioned and how much space is available for sizing. The
lettering size for text icons and modifiers will vary based on the number of letters
used. Figure 7-3 provides examples showing the sectors for each of the frame
shape types. The placing/sizing of icons and modifiers for Activity symbols shall
comply with the guidance in para 1.2.2.

2. Table 7-3 below shows the Stability and Civil Support Activities icons for use
in the main sector of the A field of the symbol. The use of icons from Air, Land,
Dismounted Individual and Maritime dimensions (chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5) is also
permissible in building Activity symbols.

CHAPTER 8. CONTROL MEASURE SYMBOLS
8.1. SCOPE
This chapter establishes a standard system for the development and use of Control
Measures symbols. This chapter provides rules for automated and hand-drawn
symbols and examples for all Control Measures symbols. These Control Measures
symbols are the standard for all command and control systems and simulations,
including those used in live, virtual, and planning environments.
8.1.1. Control Measure Symbol Characteristics
1. Ultimately, the Joint Force Commander and his forces must be capable of
accomplishing their mission, either directly or indirectly, by the employment of
capabilities to create physical or psychological effects, and be able to sustain such
operations for as long as is necessary to achieve operational objectives.
2. The principal method by which this capability is delivered is through the

combination of joint operational capabilities and a range of mechanisms and Control
Measures.
3. The standard system within this chapter provides:
a. A series of Control Measures symbols that follow standard formats and

Control Measures symbols that follow standalone formats.
b. Corresponding Control Measures symbol colouring.
c. Proper labelling of Control Measures symbols.
d. Corresponding definitions to help add clarity in using these symbols.
8.1.2. General
1. This chapter divides the Control Measures symbols into groups that
correspond to the joint functions of command and control to include joint targeting,
manoeuvre and fires, intelligence, force protection, sustainment, and deception
under information operations.
2. The symbol groups are divided into the following Control Measures sections:
a. Boundaries (8.2)
b. Areas of Operation (8.6)
c. Command and Control (8.7)
d. Manoeuvre (8.8)

APP-6
e. Airspace (8.9)
f. Maritime (8.10)
g. Deception (8.11)
h. Fire Support (8.12)
i. Targets (8.13)
j. Target Acquisition (8.14)
k. Force Protection (8.15)
l. Sustainment (8.16)
m. Intelligence (8.17)
n. Space Debris (8.18)
8.1.3. Composition of Control Measure Symbols.
Control Measure symbols can be combined with other symbols, icons and amplifiers
to display operational information (see Figure 8-1). They do not follow the same
building rules as the icon-based symbols but shall be built in accordance with the
draw rules specified in the symbol tables.
Control Measure Components Completed Control Measure Symbol
Icon-Based Symbol
Control Measure
With Amplifiers
Figure 8-1: Composition of Control Measure Symbols.
8.1.4. Standard Identity Colouring Control Measures
1. Friendly graphic Control Measures will be shown in black or blue when drawn
manually or on a colour computer-generated display.
2. Hostile graphic Control Measures will be shown in red. If red is not available,
they will be drawn in black with the abbreviation ENY placed on the graphic in at
least two places.
3. Obstacles as shown in this chapter (friendly, hostile, neutral, unknown or

factional) will be drawn using the colour green. If the colour green is not available
obstacles should be drawn using black.

APP-6
4. The colour yellow will be used for the hatching for CBRN contaminated areas.
NOTE: The use of green and yellow for obstacles and CBRN is in contradiction to
the Standard Identities.
8.1.5. Status
Status refers to whether a Control Measure exists at the location identified (status is
present) or will in the future reside at that location (status is planned,
anticipated, suspected, or on order). If a Control Measure is on order, the status
code shall be specified A Anticipated/Planned and field amplifier W shall be
present and specified O/O. In general, linear Control Measures (including
boundary lines) and area Control Measures shall be a solid line when indicating
present status and a dashed line when indicating anticipated or planned status, as
depicted in Figure 8-2. There are certain Control Measures such as counterattack
which are drawn in the present status with dashed lines. The codes for status in
the SIDC are provided in Table A-6 of Annex A.

Figure 8-2: Present and Planned Status for Control Measure Symbols.
8.1.6. Labelling Control Measures
1. Make all text labelling in upper case letters. The reader should be able to
read the labels for all text labels of modifier or amplifier fields for Control Measures
symbols when the bottom of the overlay is closest to the reader.
2. Labelling written on an angle should be readable to the viewer so they do not

have to turn their head.
8.1.7. Amplifiers
An amplifier provides optional additional information about a tactical symbol. The

field ID, field title, description and maximum allowable display lengths of tactical
symbol amplifiers are presented in Table 8-1. An example of each amplifier (both

APP-6
text and graphic indicators) is included in Figure 8-3. Amplifiers can be defined as
either Static or Dynamic:
a. Static Amplifiers. An amplifier whose size and placement are fixed

and remain constant.
b. Dynamic Amplifiers. An amplifier whose size and placement are

based on the attributes of an object and can change as these attributes and
the scale of the background change.

The direction of movement indicator is an arrow identifying the direction of

movement of events. The arrow extends downward from the centre of the icon and
points in the direction of movement. The indicator is represented in Field Q as
defined in Table 8-1 and positioned as shown in Figure 8-3.
8.1.9. Echelon Indicator
The echelon indicator provides a graphic representation of command level and is

used to show the element echelon on boundary lines, lines and areas. Echelon
indicator codes are listed in Table 3-6 of the Land Annex. The indicator is
represented in Field Q as defined in Table 8-1 and positioned as shown in Figure
8-3.
8.1.10. Offset Location Indicator
The offset location indicator is used when placing an object away from its actual
location. The indicator is a line extending downward from an appropriate anchor
point on an icon. The actual location (Field Y) is given in latitude and longitude. The
indicator is represented in Field S in Table 8-1 and positioned as shown in Figure
8-3.

APP-6
8.1.11. Text Amplifier
Table 8-1 defines the specific content, length and type of each text amplifier.
Additional information is contained in Field H, with the content of this field being
implementation specific, provided the maximum number of characters in each field is
not exceeded.
8.2. BOUNDARIES
In land warfare, a boundary is a line by which areas of responsibility between

adjacent units/formations are defined.
8.2.1. Boundary Composition
1. Boundaries are composed of the following:
a. Line.
b. The graphic for the highest echelon (Field B) unit on lateral boundaries
is used for the boundary line. The graphic for the lower echelon (Field B) unit
on a rear or forward boundary is used for the boundary line. (See Table 8-2)
When units of the same echelon are adjacent to each other, the abbreviated
echelon designator (Field T) can be omitted from the alphanumeric
designator. Table 8-25 and Table 8-26 at the end of the chapter provide a list
of abbreviations and acronyms to be used for Field T.
c. When the boundary is between units of different countries, the three-

letter geographical entity country code (Field AS) is shown in parenthesis
behind or below the unit designation .
d. Numerals.
(1) Arabic numerals to show the numbers of units.
(2) Roman numerals to show the number of corps.
e. Field labels. All field labels are displayed perpendicular to the

boundary line.
2. Figure 8-4 below provides a boundary composition template that includes

orientation of field labels for horizontal (east/west) and vertical (north/south)
boundaries.

Table 8-3: Command and Control Line Control Measures.
8.3. POINTS
1. In a number of tables that follow (Sustainment, CBRN decontamination, and

Special C2), there are Point Control Measure symbols that follow a specific format as
shown in Figure 8-5 below.
2. Supply Points follow this same format with a modification to the symbol.
Supply Points use the same icon used for Supply Units. The Supply icon is placed
toward the bottom of the box as shown in Figure 8-5 below.
3. The format in Figure 8-5 is only used for Point and Supply Point Control
Measures. Other points such as Contact, Coordination, Decision and Targets, etc.
are formatted differently
4. The point type is abbreviated and positioned in Field A. For Supply symbols
this may be a graphical depiction.

APP-6
5. Below the abbreviation of the point name, the designation of the unit servicing
that point can be included in Field T. To differentiate points, they can be identified by
a number, letter or a number/letter combination in Field T.
6. Date-time groups can be associated with the point by utilising Fields W and
W1.
7. Additional information can be provided in Field H.
8. Point symbols cannot be rotated and therefore text will not be written on an
angle.
9. Figure 8-5 below provides the template for Point and Supply Point Control
Measure Symbols.
Figure 8-5: Template for Point and Supply Point Control Measure Symbols.
8.4. LINES
1. In the tables that follow, there are Line Control Measures symbols that follow
a specific format as shown in Figure 8-6 below.
2. Most lines are also named as a phase line for ease of reference in orders and
during transmissions.
3. Phase lines will be marked as PL with the name in Field T. Other lines that
have a specific purpose and are also named as phase lines (such as restrictive fire
line RFL) should have the primary purpose in the Field T1 labelled on top of the line
at both ends of the line inside the lateral boundaries or as often as necessary for
clarity.
4. The designation of the controlling headquarters for Fire Support Coordination

Measures is depicted in Field T2.

APP-6
5. The use of phase lines to mark Line Control Measures symbols is not
mandatory.
6. Figure 8-6 below provides template for Line Control Measures symbols.
Figure 8-6: Template for Line Control Measure Symbols.
8.5. AREAS
1. In the tables that follow, there are Area Control Measures symbols that follow
a specific format as shown in Figure 8-7.
2. Areas will normally be marked with the abbreviation for the type of area in
Field A followed by a name in Field T. This labelling should be in the centre of the
area unless the area is too small or the labelling would interfere with the locating of
units.
3. Not all fields are required for each area as some areas may use only one
field, while other will use several.
4. Figure 8-7 provides template for Area Control Measures symbols.
Figure 8-7: Template for Area Control Measure Symbols.
8.6. AREA OF OPERATIONS
1. An area of operations is an operational area defined by a Joint Commander

for land or maritime forces to conduct military activities. Normally, an area of
operations does not encompass the entire joint operations area of the Joint

APP-6
Commander, but is sufficient in size for the Joint Force Component Commander to
accomplish assigned missions and protect forces.
2. Operational area is an overarching term encompassing more descriptive

terms for geographic areas in which military operations are conducted.
3. Operational areas include, but are not limited to, such descriptors as Area of
Responsibility, Theatre of War, Theatre of Operations, Joint Operations Area,
Amphibious Objective Area, Joint Special Operations Area, and Area of Operations.
4. Table 8-4 below lists Area of Operations Control Measures symbols.

8.12. FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATION MEASURES
1. Fire Support Coordination Measures are measures employed by land or

amphibious commanders to facilitate the rapid engagement of targets and
simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly forces.
2. Fire Support Coordination Control Measures should be labelled with the

abbreviation of the Control Measures, the controlling headquarters (Field T), and the
effective times (Field W/W1).
3. Lines should have this labelling on both ends of the line and repeated as often
as necessary for clarity along any line that passes through many boundaries.

2. Supply points follow the format as shown above with a modification to the
symbol. As with the symbol for supply units, there is an additional line placed toward
the bottom of the box. When building points, the name/type of the point is
abbreviated and positioned inside the top part of the point symbol in Field A. For
some supply symbols this may be a graphic icon.

APPENDIX A TO CHAPTER 8. CONTROL MEASURE

SYMBOLS: MISSION TASKS AND MISSION TASK VERBS
The Tactical Mission Task and Mission Task Verb symbols in Appendix A to Chapter
8 are the graphical representations of many of the Tactical Mission Task verbs. Not
all Tactical Mission Tasks and Mission Task verbs have an associated symbol.
Tactical Mission Task and Mission Task Verb symbols are for use in course of action
sketches, synchronization matrices, and manoeuvre sketches. They do not replace
any part of the operation order. The Tactical Mission Task Verb symbols should be
scaled to fit the map scale and size of unit for which they are being used. The
examples shown in Table 8-A-1 are for illustration purposes only. (This Appendix
supports STANAG 2287.)

CHAPTER 9. METEOROLOGICAL SYMBOLS
9.1. SCOPE
This chapter addresses Control Measures symbols in the Atmospheric Dimension.
9.1.1. Purpose
In military operations, it is important to consider meteorological impacts as part of the

environmental conditions.
9.1.2. Meteorological Symbol Characteristics
1. All meteorological parameters are strictly related to both time and space, and
they could represent observations or forecasts. Therefore, it is recommended to
display these sets in a separate layer.
2. A meteorological symbol that displays an observation is always referred to as

a three-dimensional geographic point or to the vicinity of that point.
3. A meteorological symbol that represents a weather prediction is often referred

to as a wider area which has to be delimited in a well-defined manner.
9.2. ATMOSPHERIC ICONS
1. The set of meteorological symbols and graphics is based on approved

symbols and icons from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Table 9-1
below lists Atmospheric icon symbology.
2. An amplifier provides optional additional information about a tactical symbol.

The amplifiers are presented in Table 9-1. Amplifiers can be defined as either Static
or Dynamic:
a. Static Amplifiers. An amplifier whose size and placement are fixed and
remain constant.
b. Dynamic Amplifiers. An amplifier whose size and placement are based

on the attributes of an object and can change as these attributes and the
scale of the background change.

ANNEX A. SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION CODES
A.1. Purpose
This annex outlines the procedures for developing Symbol Identification Codes
(SIDC) for symbols in APP-6(D). The SIDC codes listed shall be used for machine-
to-machine processing.
A.2. Symbol Identification Codes
A SIDC is a numeric code that uniquely identifies the elements needed to build an
APP-6(D)-compliant symbol. The SIDC provides the capability to exchange symbol
information in a bandwidth efficient manner. It is given to an established symbol by
the SSMC/JSP only.
A.3. Elements of the Symbol Identification Codes
1. The SIDC is composed of eleven elements of information which are presented

in two sets of ten digits. An additional set of ten digits composed of three elements
can also be used optionally when an extension is required e.g. national or coalition
operations (See Figure A-1).
2. A Version Extension Flag (VEF) is used to indicate that the optional third set
of ten SIDC digits is being used:
a. When a VEF is used, it indicates that the extended information

conveyed by the optional third ten digits is related to the field in which the VEF
occurs. As an example, using the VEF in the Headquarters/Task
Force/Dummy field indicates that the information conveyed by the third ten
digits relates to headquarters and/or dummy or feint status.
b. When used in a simple list SIDC field, the VEF shall be the last value in
that field. As examples, the VEF is value 9 in the one digit Status field and
value 99 in the 2 digit Symbol Set field.
c. When a SIDC field is 2 bits but is not a simple list (the 2 digits each
have discrete but related values which combine to allow 10 sets each with 10
values), either the first or second digit shall be capable of being set to 9 to
represent the VEF. An example of this is the Unit Echelon/Equipment
Mobility/Naval Towed Array Amplifier field where the first digit expresses
echelon, mobility or naval towed array and the second digit is used to express
a value related to the first digit and also has a VEF of 9 for each second digit
list of values.
d. Only one VEF shall be used in a SIDC.

APP-6
A.5. Version
The version is comprised of two digits and identifies a version change for the SIDC
which occurs when there is a change in an established icon, modifier, or drawing rule
for a Control Measures symbol. Subsequent changes will create further version
changes for the SIDC. The basis for all symbol versions in all sets is APP-6.
Description Code
No changes to joint military symbology 10
Any subsequent changes to joint military symbology 1139
Note: The first, second, and third sets of SIDC digits can each be represented in a computer system with a
single 32 bit unsigned integer. The supported range of values for a 32 bit unsigned integer is 0 to
4,294,967,295. In order to allow nine (9) as the largest value for each digit (for extension flag purposes) and
to ensure each of the ten digits is easily parsed, the allowable range of values for each part of the SIDC
must be 1,000,000,000 to 3,999,999,999.
Table A-1: Version
A.6. Context and Standard Identity
1. Standard Identity is comprised of two digits. The first digit represents the
context of the symbol and the second digit reflects the Standard Identities in Chapter
1. The following are the entries for Standard Identity:

2. Symbol Set Implementation Guidance. A symbol set represents a

collection of symbol entities, sector one modifiers, and sector two modifiers. One or
more symbol sets is grouped into a given dimension. A dimension is a collection of
symbols that all share the same basic frame shape and amplifier placement
specifications. The various dimensions are further illustrated as columns in in
Chapter 1, Table 1-1 through Table 1-5, and section 1.2.1. For any given symbols
SIDC, it's Context, Standard Identity, Dimension, and Status codes assist in
determining which frame and associated fill is used to depict that symbol. Typically,
given a collection of available filled frame graphic (svg) files, a given "affiliation" or
"relationship" between a single Contexts, single Standard Identity, single Dimension,
together with Status, will permit the identification and selection of a single best
choice for frame graphic (svg) file. The optional choice of drawing a frame using the
magenta fill for "civilian" provides a further opportunity to choose a particularly
appropriate graphic (svg) file for frame depiction.
3. See Table A-5 for the relationships between dimensions and symbol sets and
terminology. Domains used in MIL-STD-2525(D) cut across Dimensions. MIL-STD-
2525C also refers to the concept of a Battle Dimension (Air, Space, Ground, Sea
Surface, Sea Subsurface, SOF, Other, and Unknown), and so, for clarity, Table A-5
also shows the relationships between the older concept of Battle Dimension and the
newer concepts of Domain, Dimension, and Symbol Set.

1.2.1. The status code in a SIDC can, alternatively, represent a present symbols
operational condition. Operational condition and Planned/Anticipated/Suspected
status are mutually exclusive. Graphic (svg) files are available for each frame shape
to enable a location Status of Present (solid frame) or
Anticipated/Planned/Suspected (dashed frame) to be indicated for the relevant
Standard Identities. Similarly, graphic (svg) files (differentiated by Context, Standard
Identity, Dimension, and Status) are available to ensure that when the operational

2. Echelon/Mobility/Towed Array Amplifier Implementation Guidance. An

amplifier can either be textual or graphical, and are documented in Chapter 1,
section 1.2.1., with further echelon indicator details in paragraph Chapter 3, Table
3-6. Mobility indicator and Towed Array details are in Chapter 3 Table 3-19. These
codes allow, within the contents of a SIDC, for the inclusion of three of the most
commonly used graphic amplifiers. An individual graphic (svg) file can be identified
for use for a given amplifier based on a SIDCs Standard Identity group and its two
digit amplifier code.
A.11. Second Ten Digits
1. These digits define the icon and modifier contents of each symbol set:
a. Digits 11 and 12 are the entity.

b. Digits 13 and 14 are entity type.
c. Digits 15 and 16 are entity subtype.
d. Digits 17 and 18 are sector one (first) modifier.
e. Digits 19 and 20 are sector two (second) modifier.
2. If an entity is "Unspecified", then the remainder of the second set of ten digits
shall be set to 0.
3. Icons are the innermost part of a symbol. A symbol is, at most, composed of
one and only one icon or compound icon. Icons are fully defined in in section 1.2.
The SIDC structure is organized using a logical three-tier hierarchy based on first,
second and third order military functions; each tier (military function level) is
expressed using a pair of digits. A first order military function is expressed as an
Entity. Where there are second order military functions associated with a first order
military function, these are expressed as Entity Types. Similarly, if a second order

APP-6
military function has related third order military functions, these are expressed as
Entity Subtypes. The placement of the digits representing Entity, Entity Type and
Entity Subtype can be seen in Figure A-1. Some entities and entity types are used
purely for hierarchical purposes, these are never associated with an actual physical
icon (an individual svg graphic file) and thus are never intended to be displayed.
Most entities and entity types, however, and all entity subtypes, are associated with
a single physical icon (an individual svg file). The icon used to represent a SIDC
should be that associated with the highest level of detail available i.e. the one that
reflects a non-zero-zero value at the most discriminating (i.e., lowest order) of the
Entity, Entity Type and Entity Subtype values. When the icon to be used is a full
frame icon (see section 1.2.) so by definition it touches the edge of the frame it is
drawn within, one of four graphic (svg) files needs to be used, based on the
Standard Identity group of the given SIDC.
4. A symbol set is also comprised of up to two sets of sector modifiers (sector 1

and sector 2). Sector modifiers are defined in section 1.2., and their placement in
paragraph 1.2.2. The graphic (svg) file for a given sector one modifier can be
determined through a SIDCs symbol set and sector one modifier codes. The
graphic (svg) file for a given sector two modifier can be determined through a SIDCs
symbol set and sector two modifier codes.
a. For example, a SIDC of 1003100216, 1204010051 would be

interpreted as:
(1) 10 = Original version of this symbol (no effect on how this

symbol is built/drawn)
(2) 03 = Reality context, friend Standard Identity, friend Standard
Identity group
(3) 10 = Land Unit symbol set, which belongs to the land unit
dimension
(4) 0 = status of Present
(5) 2 = headquarters/task force/dummy amplifier of headquarters
(6) 16 = echelon at brigade and below, specifically a
battalion/squadron echelon
(7) 12 = within the Land Unit symbol set, the movement and
manoeuvre entity
(8) 04 = within the movement and manoeuvre entity, an anti-
tank/anti-armour entity type
(9) 01 = within the anti-tank/anti-armour entity type, an armoured
unit
(10) 00 = within the Land Unit symbol set, no sector one modifier
(11) 51 = within the Land Unit symbol set, the wheeled sector two
modifier
5. The above example would be drawn as shown in example of SIDC Symbol

Building (Figure A-2).

APP-6
Figure A-2: Example of SIDC Symbol Building

Codes Used Graphic (svg)
03 = Reality friend
10 = Land unit symbol set (and dimension)
0 = status of present
All of the above values must be noted, in order to

select the single best graphic for the filled frame.
3 = Friend
10 = Land Unit
2 = Headquarters
All of the above values must be noted, in order to

select the single best graphic for the
headquarters/task force/dummy amplifier.
3 = Friend
16 = Echelon at brigade or below, battalion/squadron
The friend Standard Identity belongs to the friend

Standard Identity group, which in turn helps determine
which graphic (svg) to use.
10 = Land Unit symbol set No icon is associated

12 = Entity is movement/manoeuvre with this entity
(hierarchical purposes
only)
3 = Friend
04 = Entity type within land unit
movement/manoeuvre entity is antitank/antiarmour.
Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of

friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed.
This icon would be used if this were the highest order

non-zero-zero military function code in this SIDC. But
it is not, in this example, the icon we desire.

APP-6
Figure A-2: Example of SIDC Symbol Building

Codes Used Graphic (svg)
3 = Friend
01 = Entity subtype within land unit
movement/manoeuvre entity and antitank/antiarmour
entity type is armoured.
Since this is a full frame icon, the Standard Identity of

friend determines the specific graphic (svg) needed.
Since this is the highest (3rd) order non-zero-zero

military function code in this particular SIDC, this icon
IS used, NOT the previous icon for
antitank/antiarmour.
00 = Sector one modifier code is zero. Nothing is drawn in
sector one.
51 = Sector two modifier code is land unit, wheeled
When composed and drawn, the final result is
1003100216, 1204010051
Figure A-2: Example of SIDC Symbol Building.

APP-6
A.12. Third Ten Digits
1. The third ten digit set of the symbol identification codes is to accommodate
national modifications/additions that are not included in APP-6. In particular, when a
nation (or approved entity) has a need to transfer symbol information to another
allied country/system then the third ten digit set provides an approved method to
achieve this capability. The third ten digit set starts with a three digit number pre-
assigned to nations (Table A-9 below) which indicates to a recipient the Symbology
Originator Identifier. The three digit identifiers for Symbology Originators are
sourced from ISO 3166 Country Codes.3 The fourth digit is to be used by the
Symbology Originator to identify a particular symbol set. The remaining six digits are
available for whatever use the Symbology Originator decides. To correctly interpret
a complete 30-digit SIDC, requires the Symbology Originator utilizing the third ten
digit set to provide amplifying documentation to recipients. The third ten digit set
should not be used to reinterpret an approved APP-6 symbol.
3 The US is adopting the GENC for SIDC Country Codes. Whilst the GENC is a profile of ISO 3166,
there may be differences in the codes of some geopolitical entities.

ANNEX B. COMPARATIVE FORMATION/UNIT DESIGNATIONS
B.1. General
The data given in this Annex has been provided by each nation. The designations
assigned by the various nations to their formations/units are shown against the
agreed size symbols listed in Chapter 3, section 3.3.8., Table 3-6 of this document.
If a nation has no formation unit of the size indicated by the symbol, no designation
will be entered. Nations not yet included in this Annex are invited to provide their
unit designations. With a view to making this Annex easier to understand, each
military symbol is accompanied by a group number, which is explained at the end of
the Annex.
B.2. Explanatory Notes
These group numbers should not be used outside the context of this STANAG. They
are not intended as definitions in themselves.
a. Group 1. The smallest basic unit, part of a group 2 and/or a group 3

unit. Requires administrative and logistical support.
b. Group 2. A unit larger than a group 1 unit but smaller than a group 3
unit. Requires administrative and logistical support.
c. Group 3. A unit designed to perform a tactical or support mission,

composed of two or more group 1 and/or group 2 units and normally
forming part of a group 4 unit. It is commanded by an OF-1/OF-2 or
OR-7/OR-8 (see STANAG 2116) and may or may not require
administrative support.
d. Group 4. A unit designed to be capable of administering itself if

operating independently and may be self-accounting. It is composed of
two or more group 3 units and is commanded by an OF-2 or 3 (see
STANAG 2116). It is normally part of a group 5 unit. It can be a
composite group 4 unit of mixed arms.
e. Group 5. A unit designed to be self-administering and self-accounting

and capable of operating independently. It is composed of two or more
group 4 units and is commanded by an OF-3 or 4 (see STANAG 2116).
It can be grouped with group 1, 2, 3 or 4 units of different arms to form
a composite group 5 unit of mixed arms.
f. Group 6. A unit of two or more group 5 units or group 4 units usually

of the same arm under a designated commander. Usually commanded
by an OF-4, 5 or 6 (see STANAG 2116).
