A military unit infobox may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit or formation, such as a regiment or division.
The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox military unit}} template, as shown below:

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the organisation's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
If the organisation has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE)
If the organisation has a URL, use {{URL}}
If the organisation has a "coordinates" field, use {{Coord}} to include a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit.
hCard uses HTML classes including:
Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.
