<DIV dir=ltr>I second that.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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)</DIV>
<DIV>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properties then the Military unit type is obsolete and we would be able to use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.</DIV>

we add military unit to the CVT /military/military_service? Joan Marie Engel
