Because numerous data items
ultimately link to the force
structure skeleton – use it as
the basis to integrate data.


A Common Data Model: What
 M1A2 Main Battle Tank
A Unique Identifier: Which
 32 bit identifier for the platoon
Organizational Relationship defined
by force structure
 1st Tank, 2nd PLT, C Co., 4th BN,
69th Armor
Now we can link people, crews, supplies, missions, to their task
organized forces and dynamically track them over time.
