[Data-modeling] Military Unit

[Jeff Prucher]

I agree; I think the phylogeny pattern on Armed Force eliminates the need
for a separate Unit type.

I second that. 

Having had a look at the schema, I don't think Military unit really needs a
seperate type - a unit is itself an armed force which is a subdivision of a
larger armed force.  (In fact a lot of topics currently typed as 'armed
force' are actually units in our current definition, and a cleanup would be
required)
If Armed Force had a 'formed', 'disbanded' and 'size designation' (dated)
properties then the Military unit type is obsolete and we would be able to
use Armed Force in its place.

Hi,

Can we add military unit to the CVT /military/military_service? Joan Marie
Engel is the director of United States Navy Nurse Corps. I would like to
link the rank to the military unit "United States Navy Nurse Corps".

Since the Military Person schema only allows the Military force where the
person belongs and not the military unit, I just entered United States Navy
instead of United States Navy Nurse Corps.

That would also be useful to show people who were members of the army
rangers or navy seals.

Thanks,
Anne
