چکیده

Abstract: While the technology of warfare is constantly changing, particularly in the areas of weapons, equipment, mobility, and communications, the fundamental structure of military organizations has remained stable since Roman times. In this paper we present an ontology of the basic categories and relationships needed to represent modern military organizations (i.e. government-sponsored nonparamilitary organizations). In particular, we focus on the subordination relationships and command and control flows that bind military organizations together.
