INTRODUCTIONThis 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.

If anyone has graphics or symbols to add, please send them to Bill Simpson.

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

Corrections, suggestions, additions, improvements are welcome, please contact Bill Simpson, [email protected]

Primary References: FM 101-5-1/MCRP-5-12A Operational Terms and Graphics 30 Sept 1997; MCRP 5-12D Organization of Marine Corps Forces, MIL-STD-2525B DOD Common Interface, Warfighting Symbology

CommentsThis 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 Unit SymbolsChapter 5 Equipment SymbolsAppendix A Friendly Unit and Equipment SymbolsAppendix B Enemy Unit and Equipment SymbolsAppendix C Military Decision-making Process and Tactical Mission Graphics Appendix D 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 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 / 188 pages, therefore it WILL open, close and change modes slowly.

Tips and Instructions

A To match up a unit with its size indicatorcut 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.

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

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 textThe text can be colored without ungroupingArial Font was used because it remains readable in small font sizes when projected.

To create smooth graphics, the objects are created10 times or 1000% larger than desired, then shrunkUsing 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%.
