A command structure box may be used to summarise information about an individual military unit's parent and subordinate units; it should generally be used in conjunction with {{Infobox military unit}}. Where necessary, multiple boxes may be used to show the unit's command structure during different periods.

The box should be added using the {{Infobox command structure}} template, as shown below:

{{Infobox command structure
| unit_name = (should automatically come from the page title)
| command_start_date =
| command_end_date =
| parent =
| parent_level =
| relationship_type = 
| subordinate =
| subordinate_level =
}}

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Military_history).

  • name – the name of the unit or formation.
  • dateoptional – the dates during which the given structure was in place.
  • parentoptional – the unit's parent unit.
  • parent_leveloptional – the level of the parent unit, e.g. brigade, division, army
  • relationship_typeoptional – e.g. administrative, tactical, or both
  • subordinateoptional – the unit's components subordinate units.
