Command structure box
A command structure box may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit's parent and subordinate units; it should generally be used in conjunction with {{Infobox military unit}}
. If needed, 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 | name = | date = | parent = | subordinate = }}
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 WP:MILMOS#CITE).
- name – the name of the unit or formation.
- date – optional – the dates during which the given structure was in place.
- parent – optional – the unit's parent unit.

template, as shown below:
{{Infobox service record | is_ship = | is_multi = | label = | partof = | codes = | commanders = | operations = | victories = | awards = }}
