Military Branch Format

```
This format is to be used on all pages about military branches. The format is shown below..

```

## Military Information

### Maritime Ships

Number of maritime ships

**[Military Branch]** is [introductory paragraph about the branch here, such as its role, the nation it serves, year it was founded, etc.]

## History [Heading]

### **Stage in the Military Branch's History [Bold, Sub-heading 1]**

The history section of the page should include important event's in the branch's history, such as founding, military expansion, dissolution (if it is dissolved), etc. Each major event should have its own sub-heading 1 and if any less major events fall under the major event, sub-heading 2s and sub-heading 3s can be used if needed.

## Service History [Heading]

### **Conflict/Other Major Event [Bold, Sub-heading 1]**

Each conflict or major event should have its own bold sub-heading 1. Under the sub-heading should be a detailed explanation of how the branch served in the conflict or event. Images should also be included when possible. Sub-heading 2s can be included for major battles or other events under a conflict, and a sub-heading 3 can be inserted under that if necessary.

## [Vehicle Type] [Heading]

The vehicle type section should have a type of vehicle as its heading such as starships, aircraft, small spacecraft, ground vehicles, etc. Since military branches can operate different types of vehicles, there can be multiple headings for different vehicle types. The vehicle type with the different classes or types of the vehicle type should be listed below like this:

Example:

### **Battleship**

* *Nemesis*-class Battleship
* *Oblivion*-class Battleship

Notice how each ship type has its own sub-heading and ships designed by other nations are labelled as being designed by that nation. This can also be applied to headings about ground vehicles, small spacecraft, maritime ships, and the other types of vehicles. Keep this in mind when writing your armed forces branch pages.

## Decommissioned/Not in Active Service [Heading]

Under the decommissioned or not in active service section, there should be a bullet list of the different classes or types that fit under the vehicle type, similar to the in section above. For example:

Example:

### **Medium Tank**

* MT-45

Each decommissioned or not in active service vehicle, just like the section above this, should be under sub-heading 1s which state the type of vehicle. Any foreign-designed vehicles should also be labelled as such, just like on the section above.

## Planned [Vehicle Type]

This is where you can add planned vehicles the branch might have. There can also be multiple of these if the branch operates multiple vehicle types. An example of how this section should look will be shown below.

Example:

The Philippine Air Force has multiple planned aircraft. These planned aircraft are:

* F-42 Stealth Fighter
* B-13 Supersonic Light Bomber

-Petty Officer

-Ensign

-Lieutenant Junior Grade
