Additional Icons (Combined Arms, Amphibious Infantry, MAGTF)

[TheNotRealGN]

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible the icons for Combined Arms, Amphibious Infantry and MAGTFs to be added to map.army, currently all 3 of these icons are in compliance with MIL-STD-2525D and APP-6D, furthermore on the note of APP-6D if it's possible if the individual icons could be added as well.

Finally I was wondering if it's possible if there is an option to use echelons for the SOF unit icon instead of personnel numbers instead. Thank you.

Also just read a post where map.army aims to be compliant with 2525C, totally understand why. However MAGTF and Amphibious Infantry is in 2525C so I think an addition is appropriate. Furthermore while Combined Arms didn't make it in for 2525C, it was in APP-6C. I feel like an exception could be made because it is very important for modern US Heavy/Armor BCTs, as they now use Combined Arms Battalions not single arm ones, or other nations like Sweden.

Thank you for reaching out! It’s great to hear that https://www.map.army is proving useful for your work.
To answer your question: Yes, "Amphibious" is a valid Equipment Mobility Indicator. It is defined in Table VI (Equipment Mobility Indicators) of the MIL-STD-2525C standard.
 


1. How to add it in https://www.map.army:
You can apply this indicator to any equipment symbol using the following steps:

1. Select your equipment symbol.
2. Open the MSS Symbol Editor and select the Mobile Indicator
3. Press Apply and close the MSS Symbol Editor

2. A Note on Standards & Customization
Regarding your request for specific symbol exceptions:

Right, that would be for the equipment, but for infantry units in the formation tab, there is no Amphibious Infantry is what I meant.
