INTRODUCTION
This presentation contains several thousand tactical symbols and graphics as a
“cut and paste” resource for briefers preparing PowerPoint slides.
For full color graphics go here: For B&W go here
A work sheet near the end of this brief provides space to cut & paste the basic
unit and match it up with the unit size indicators and other modifiers.
This brief is updated as required. The most recent version of this brief is posted
for download on the Introduction page of Wargaming Division’s website:
http://www.wargaming.quantico.usmc.mil/intro.asp. The file is on the lower part
of the website page, you must scroll down to get to it.
Corrections, suggestions, additions, improvements are welcome, please
contact Bill Simpson, William.L.Simpson@usmc.mil if you have any graphics or
ideas.

Comments
This presentation contains PowerPoint representations of virtually all the graphics in FM 101-5-1 /
MCRP-5-12A Operational Terms and Graphics dated 30 Sept 1997. The sections represented are:
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Appendix A
Appendix B
Appendix C
Appendix D
Unit Symbols
Equipment Symbols
Friendly Unit and Equipment Symbols
Enemy Unit and Equipment Symbols
Military Decision-making Process and Tactical Mission Graphics
Stability and Support Operations Symbols (MOOTW)
•Selected graphics from MIL-STD-2525B provide full color graphics for all the common tactical
symbols. The color and shapes of these graphics define the symbols’ affiliation as “unknown”,
“friendly”, “neutral” and “hostile”. Most importantly 2525B includes representations of important
buildings and facilities in the Installations / Structures sections which are not covered in FM101-5-1.
These would be valuable in Urban Combat and SASO briefs.
A full color set of MOOTW or SASO, CS, CSS, Maritime and Air symbols are also included in the
2525B Section. Many of these symbols are not in FM 101-5-1.
•The USMC Organization Charts are derived from MCRP 5-12A, FMFRP 2-12, The XMEB Planners
Ref Manual, a 1st MEB brief and the 2nd MEB website
•Scratch sheets of graphic elements used in building these symbols are at the end of the
presentation.
•NATO symbology was not included since only a few symbols were different from those presented
•This brief is quite large at 14 MEGS / 195 pages, therefore it WILL open, close and change
modes slowly.

Tips and Instructions
Use the “Slide Show” Mode to navigate via hyperlink buttons
Then hit “Esc” button or the “Slide View” Mode to work on the graphics
This is a “Huge” brief, do NOT panic if your screen turns black for a long time while shifting to “Slide Show”
A
A To match up a unit with its size indicator
cut and paste them onto the work sheet.
B Right click one of the symbols then zoom
into 200%-400% for good visibility and
manually move the size indicator on top of the
unit symbol.
B
C right click both symbols, then center by
clicking Draw, Align, Center, to center the
indicator on top of the unit. Or you can hit the
keys alt and r then a then c. While both
symbols are selected, group them by clicking
Draw, Group or hit the keys alt and r then g
C
The size indicator should be aligned and grouped
before the text modifiers on the sides are attached,
otherwise it will not center properly.
When changing the color of the fill or the lines in a
symbol containing text or attachments, ungroup
the text and attachments, change the colors
selectively, then regroup. Otherwise colored lines
or fill will appear around the text
The text can be colored without ungrouping
Arial Font was used because it remains readable
in small font sizes when projected.
Good!

10 times or 1000% larger than desired, then shrunk
Using the size function in the “format autoshape”
window. The format window is reached by right
clicking the object.

Graphics fitting inside the unit shapes should be
sized to fit inside either the “neutral” square or the
“hostile” diamond since those are the smallest
shapes.

The plane and horse graphics were created by
tracing over imported clipart using the “Lines” from
the “Autoshapes” menu then using the “Edit Points”
function under the “Draw” menu for fine
adjustments while “zooming” in 200% to 400%.
