5-5. There is also a separate echelon known as a command. A command is a
unit or units, an organization, or an area under the command of one individ-
ual. It does not correspond to any of the other echelons. It is designated by us-
ing ++ as its echelon symbol (see figure 5-3).
Figure 5-3. Examples of Command Symbols
FIELD D: TASK FORCE
5-6. A task force is a temporary grouping of units, under one commander,
formed for carrying out a specific operation or mission or a semi-permanent
organization of units, under one commander, formed for the purpose of carry-
ing out a continuing specified task (see figure 5-4).
Figure 5-4. Examples of Task Forces
FIELD F: REINFORCED OR DETACHED
5-7. These symbols are used at division and below levels. The reinforced
symbol + indicates that the capability of one unit has been augmented by the
capability of another unit. The reduced symbol - indicates that the capability
of a unit has been reduced by the detachment of one or more of its units. If a
unit has been both reinforced and reduced, then the + symbol is used (see fig-
ure 5-5).

LOCATING UNIT SYMBOLS
5-8. The center of mass of the unit symbol indicates the general vicinity of
the center of mass of the unit. To indicate precise location or reduce clutter in
an area with multiple units, a line (without an arrow) extends from the cen-
ter of the bottom of the frame to the unit location displayed as field Q. The
line may be extended or bent as required. 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
center of the bracket (see figure 5-6).
5-41

Figure 5-6. Offset and Multiple Unit Locations
5-9. Headquarters unit symbols include a staff or line drawn from the bottom
left hand corner displayed as field "S.” This staff may be bent or extended as
required to indicate unit location. If several headquarters are at one location,
more than one headquarters can be on a single staff. The highest echelon
headquarters is placed on top, followed by the next levels in descending order
(see figure 5-7).

Chapter 6
Equipment Symbols
This chapter establishes a single standard for the development of equip-
ment symbols. It describes procedures for creating composite weapon sys-
tem symbols and the procedures for text labeling to provide necessary
details.
ORIENTATION OF EQUIPMENT SYMBOLS
6-1. Orientation of the symbols shown in this chapter is extremely important.
All manual and automated displays and overlays should show the symbol
oriented the same as the actual equipment. The
“Q” field shows the
orientation of moving equipment symbols. On color displays, blue or black
represent friendly equipment, while red represents hostile equipment.
Monochrome displays use the color available.
COMPOSITION OF EQUIPMENT SYMBOLS
6-2. An equipment symbol is composed of a frame, color (fill), equipment
symbol (icon), and text or graphic modifiers (see figure 6-1). (See table 6-1 for
the steps used to build equipment symbols.)
Figure 6-1. Equipment Symbol Components

FM 1-02/MCRP 5-12A________________________________________________________________
BUILDING EQUIPMENT SYMBOLS
Note: The use of symbol frames, shown in table 6-1, is optional for equipment
and recommended only for ships, aircraft, and aerial vehicles or monochrome
screens.
Table 6-1. Building Equipment Symbols with Frames
Step #
Step
Example
Step 1.
First choose the frame that matches the
affiliation of the equipment (friendly, hostile,
neutral). Then choose the basic equipment
symbol for field “A.” In this example, the
affiliation is friendly and the equipment is a
howitzer. (See the following land equipment
frame shapes and affiliations; see also figure 6-
Friendly Howitzer
2, page 6-4; table 6-3, page 6-4; and table 6-4,
page 6-7.)
Land Equipment Frame Shapes and Affiliation
Step 2.
Choose the size/range equipment symbol
modifier that further explains the capability of
that equipment, modifying field “A.” In this
example, the equipment symbol modifier is
medium (bolded). (See table 6-4, page 6-7, and
table 6-6, page 6-31.)
Friendly Medium Howitzer
Step 3.
Choose the mobility indicator modifier for the
next capability, for field “R.” In this example, the
mobility indicator is self-propelled or tracked
(bolded). (See table 6-5, page 6-29.)
Friendly Medium Self-Propelled
Howitzer

Example
Step 4.
Choose text modifiers as necessary to provide
further amplifying information. In this example,
the text modifier is the type of equipment (field
“V”), or M109A6, and the common identifier
(field “AF”), or Paladin. (See table 6-3, page 6-
4.)

Step #

Example
Step 1.
First choose the basic equipment symbol for field
“A.” In this example, the affiliation is friendly
(black) and the equipment is a tank. (See table 6-
4, page 6-19.)
Tank
Step 2.
Choose the size/range equipment symbol modifier
that further explains the capability of that
equipment, modifying field “A.” In this example,
the equipment symbol modifier is heavy. (See
table 6-4, page 6-20, and table 6-6, page 6-31.)
Heavy Tank
Step 3.
If required, choose the mobility indicator modifier
for the next capability, for field “R.” In this
example, there is no requirement for a mobility
indicator.
Heavy Tank
Step 4.
Choose text modifiers as necessary to provide
further amplifying information. In this example, the
text modifier is the type of equipment (field “V”), or
M1A2, and the common identifier (field “AF”), or
Friendly M1A2 (Abrams)
Abrams. (See table 6-3, page 6-4.)
Heavy Tank
EQUIPMENT SYMBOL MODIFIER FIELDS
6-3. Figure 6-2 shows the placement of equipment labeling fields around the
friendly land equipment symbol frame. The placement of equipment symbol
modifier fields is the same regardless of frame shape or affiliation.
