Three Egyptian armies

Dear Noclador, I have now found a deletion request you filed as speedy delete for the First Egyptian Army org diagram in February 2020 - the sources are bullshit - and reinstated it with my name at the very end. The new sources can be seen at the deletion discussion. There are two armies with no intermediate corps in the east, under a higher command, and four military districts. First Army (United Arab Republic) ↗ was a designation covering forces in Syria, though some ill-informed sources have said it control(s) forces to the rear of Second and Third Armies. I am not sure why you got so angry so quickly, but I had no intention of offending you, and no intention of blackmailing you. The data on the verified 2018 organisation of the two armies and four military districts (eg Northern Military Region (Egypt) ↗) is all available at the articles in question. Happy to elaborate or explain further.

Then I want to work with you to create an org diagram covering the Unified Command and its two armies and its divisions; and the four districts, down to division level. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 08:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

: If there is an issue, always come to my talkpage. I will work with anyone to resolve any issue as quickly as possible. That said: Ok, let's delete the 1st Army graphic, and then we work on creating correct graphics and overwrite the two other files. All easy, if you tell me on my talkpage what needs to be done. Best regards, noclador (talk) 09:15, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
::OK so please endorse the new Commons deletion request for First Army. Second, er, Second Army ↗ - in May 2018 comprised 6th Armd Div, HQ Mansoura ↗; 7th Mech Div; 18th Mech Div (no certain locations for the other div HQs); 135th Ind Mech Brigade; two independent artillery brigades; independent engineer water brigade; independent engineer bridge brigade; independent engineer construction brigade. Source is listed at the deletion discussion. Please do note that the structure is as of May 2018. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 09:50, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
::: I am in the middle of updating the 298 Italian Army articles I wrote, but I will find time for the graphics. I didn't find at which of the many deletion discussions the actual structure can be found. Also is this all we know about the Second Army?

:::* 6th Armd Div, HQ Mansoura ↗
:::* 7th Mech Div
:::* 18th Mech Div
:::* 135th Mech Brigade
:::* 2× independent artillery brigades
:::* engineer water brigade
:::* engineer bridge brigade
:::* engineer construction brigade

::: This seems awfully little for creating a graphic. Do we know anything about the division structures? Best regards, noclador (talk) 00:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
::::Nothing reliable apart from the usual 2/1 split of mech/armd brigades in mech divs etc. Data is super thin. I would rather we concentrated on division level and above. The diagram at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Egyptian_Army_-_Second_Field_Army.png reflects (a) Egyptian disinformation; and (b) we usually deal with European armies etc who are open, transparent, instead of Egypt - completely closed and suspicious. Can clarify / expand supporting data by e-mail if necessary. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 11:46, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Dear Noclador best wishes for all the work you are doing re north and east of Egypt.

In accordance with https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CENTRAL%20INTELLIGENCE%20BULL%5B15777415%5D.pdf page 12 of 16 pages (actually says p4 on the actual page) I have made a number of changes to the First Army file page, including a request for renaming to First Army, United Arab Republic, October 1958. If that move is successful I can start to put together a list of what the Syrians might have had in October 1958, so the diagram can be vaguely accurate. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 07:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
:The name change has been accepted and I can start digging around for a 1958 UAR/Syrian order of battle. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 07:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

British Army changes

For your graphics;

- 5 Regt AAC and 6 Regt AAC of the 1st Aviation Brigade Combat Team now both have their Headquarters at Middle Wallop (not Aldergrove/Bury St Edmunds.)

- 1 Rifles is still under 7 Light BCT (even when based in Cyprus). 1 PWRR of 20th Armoured BCT is also in Cyprus right now. More precisely, 1 PWRR is at Episkopi, and 1 Rifles is at Dhekelia.

- in 19th Brigade, the entire brigade is made of Reserve units (some aren't marked as reserve)

- 3RSME is at Minley, not Minley Manor

- Combat Manoeuvre Centre is at BOVINGTON

::: {{ping|PAWPERSO}} Does this mean Surveillance Group has now no units? Should I leave it in or remove the entry for Surveillance Group?? noclador (talk) 01:15, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
::::Yes. I say leave surveillance group HQ in there with no units under it. We won’t know for certain what’s happening with it until the defence review in a few months. PAWPERSO (talk) 04:36, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit made to List of equipment of the Royal Danish Army 2 November 2025

Multiple origins were added to prevent the constant editing war in the origin tab as some people get very defensive about their national MICs.

I created the solution due to a conflict regarding where the JIM-LR and Piranha and Eagle as when it comes to the JIM-LR it is sold by Safran is French company but made by a Swiss subsidiary leading to inconsistencies between lists where on one list its French and on another its Swiss, and an editing war where the origin is constantly changed. Id recommend re-adding the multiple origins to stop the constant changes or getting a more defined rule for "origin" NobuttoO (talk) 21:23, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

AI, etc.

Thanks for the information. I have not tried to track down or review articles to detect any AI. Everyone should probably be aware of this growing problem but I am only beginning to become aware of spotting it and dealing with it. While I will be aware of it, I will not claim to be very knowledgeable or helpful for now.

My guess is that you are familiar with the following pages: Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup ↗, Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Guide ↗, Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/Noticeboard ↗. A few other possibly pertinent information articles and templates are listed at Category:WikiProject AI Cleanup. If you are not familiar with these articles, they may give you some guidance. If you think requests, questions or comments could be useful on the pertinent talk pages, you might consider doing that since members of that project might be able to help with this. Other than suggesting they help with general AI cleanup of the general category of articles, they may need to be alerted to specific examples, or a specific user's actions that need to be reviewed. You may be ahead of me on your view of whether this would be appropriate or helpful, however.

I am not familiar with and have not recently (if ever) assessed this category of military history articles. I notice that there are only two other active members of the subject military history task force, User:Attilios and User:Srnec. Long-time active editor User:Cplakidas has not made an edit since April but would also be interested in this if he returns to editing. These three editors might be interested in watching out for this problem if you think that giving them specific notice would be useful and appropriate and you have not yet done so.

It seems to me that this problem, though not entirely new in general, should be mentioned to other coordinators. Perhaps it might be with useful to post a notice on the project talk page. Possibly this would give more potential military history editors notice to be on the look out for the problem. Perhaps you have already considered whether there any reasons for or against more widespread mention of this on a project talk page.

I thought it would be easier to reply here. I have tried to keep my comments somewhat general in the event further details or the specific topic should be kept confidential, at least for now. Thanks for being aware of the situation and making efforts to deal with it. If my note here seems to indicate that I have not commented on or become aware of some things or possible actions pertinent to the problem that you have tried to bring to my attention, feel free to give me some further thoughts or information.

Sandbox All Regiments official data

Where did this official data come from? The ALL IN CAPS regiment listings?? Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 08:16, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
: There is a database with all the US Army Reserve units: here ↗. You can click on any state to go to a listing of all units of that state (and search within a state by name, location, unit number, etc) or you can scroll down a bit to "United States" and just enter "Regiment" and it will list 362 of the 363 regiments (because one regiment is listed as: "330 1 BN 330 RGT CO E IN OUST DET 5 BN 1ST BN, 330TH REGT"). Once you enter what you look for, you can then copy paste the data into wikipedia (needs editing though as it is all in ALL CAPS and quite of full of acronyms. I copied all the states and cross referenced that with the data on the sites of the divisions, and now I also cross reference it with the main database. noclador (talk) 11:11, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Brazilian OrBats

Hello Noclador,

I'm glad to see you're updating some old OrBats for the Brazilian Army. But I've had to remove the image you added to Northern Military Command (Brazil) ↗. The OOB given for the 22nd Jungle Infantry Brigade is incorrect. The area command's website ↗ only lists three units under the brigade, its infantry battalions. Yes, it really is that bare. The 23rd is the only complete jungle infantry brigade. I perused the 22nd's Lusophone article and pre-2021 versions did mention the cavalry, artillery and so on, but as "''Em Estudo''".

I'd be glad to provide you sources for any other OrBat updates for the Army and Marine Corps. The latter has made several name changes and a few expansions in the past couple years.

Yours sincerely, Serraria (talk) 02:53, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

: {{ping|Serraria}} I wanted to update the South American armies for some time, but there never was enough reliable source material to do so. A few days ago I saw that in 2024 an editor had updated the :pt:Comando Militar da Amazônia ↗ on the Portuguese wiki and so I set out to do Brazil, but already with the Northern Military Command (Brazil) ↗ the data became inconsistent and lacked sources, so I finished the Northern Military Command graphics and moved on to the Swedish Home Guard. If you would be so kind to please update the articles on either the English or Portuguese wiki for the Brazilian military commands and the Marine Corps, and then let me know when you're finished with the update, then I will gladly update all the Brazilian army graphics. With best regards, noclador (talk) 11:04, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
::{{re|Noclador}} today I've updated the list on all of the area commands sans the Amazon. Most of the sources date to 2025. The Western ↗ command is sourced to a 2022 list and the Eastern ↗ command has less consistent sourcing, with one of its components using data from 2018.
::Military regions shouldn't use the infantry icon as they're not combat formations; even a blank rectangle would be better.
::As for the Marine Corps, all units are mentioned in plain text throughout its article ↗. As far as this OrBat ↗ is concerned, you'd need to remove the "1st" from "1st Amphibious Division" (it's not numbered); rename the Tactical Air Control & Air Defense Battalion to Air Combat Battalion (keep the symbol, it hasn't changed its roles) and transfer it to direct control under the Fleet Marine Force command (it's no longer part o f the Amphibious Division); rename the Disembarcation Troops Command to Riverine Division Command; remove the Disembarcation Company; rename the Reinforcement Troops to Littoral Division; and add the 2nd CBRN Defense battalion and the Expeditionary Medical Unit (though I'm not sure if this is a battalion, company or something else) to the Littoral Division. It's also worth noting, if you update the Navy's wider OrBat, that the military police company within the Força de Fuzileiros da Esquadra is distinct from the former military police company in the Naval Battalion (now expanded to a battalion). Serraria (talk) 21:51, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Brazilian Naval Fusiliers Corps

{{ping|Serraria}} Finished the Fleet Marine Force :File:Brazil Naval Fusiliers Corps.png ↗ in English and also Portuguese :File:Brazil Naval Fusiliers Corps - Fleet Marine Force organization Portuguese 2026.png ↗. Please check for accuracy/ errors and/ or omissions. If the graphics are correct ''please add them'' to the corresponding articles in the English and Portuguese wikipedias. I will now do the Amazon and Northern military commands. As it is Easter the other military commands will have to wait a few days, before I find the time to update them. Best regards, noclador (talk) 19:16, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
: On the English version, the CBRN battalion should be numbered as the ''2nd'' battalion. The Tank Battalion should be renamed Armored Battalion or something of the sort, as its title (Batalhão de Blindados) only refers generically to AFVs and most of its inventory consists of APCs (Piranhas, M113s and JLTVs). If you want to keep the special operation battalion's ornamental title, it's "Tonelero", not "Toneleros". And I presume the battalion markings in the Meriti River Naval Fusiliers Base are a mistake. As for the Portuguese version, the same comment on the CBRN battalion still applies and the Cdo. Tropa de Desembarque should now be the Cdo. da Divisão Ribeirinha. Otherwise it's up-to-date now. Many thanks, Serraria (talk) 19:31, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:: Updated both graphics. Thank you for checking them for errors. noclador (talk) 19:40, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:The 24th infantry battalion in the Northern command is a jungle infantry formation like the others, according to this source ↗ it lost its light infantry designation in 2017. None of the ''Colégios Militares'' belong in any OrBat, they are middle and high schools ran by the Army and would only be of interest to military sociologists, not defense and conflict research. And you'll have to make a call on where to place the 12th AA Artillery Group, as formally it's subordinated to the AA Defense Command in the Southeast Military Command ''and'' linked to the Amazon command; a number of other AA groups are in the same condition. Serraria (talk) 19:56, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Serraria}} Fixed 24th Inf. Bn. Removed the ''Colégios Militares''. As for the 12th AA Art. Group - it is not listed at the Southeastern Military Command (Brazil) ↗; I could leave it in the Amazon Command, but as last on the left column and without a connecting line to the units above, and then also add it in theSoutheastern Military Command. Also: should I use the air-defence dark blue or the artillery's yellow for the Brazilian AAA units? Also :File:Brazilian Army - CMNE.png ↗ is ready to be checked. (Also: should I continue to ping you, or do you check back here on your own?). noclador (talk) 20:42, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
::: I have this talk page on my watchlist for now, no need to ping me anymore (unless we don't talk for months, then I'll remove it from my watchlist).
::: :pt:Comando Militar do Sudeste#Organização ↗ is up-to-date, you'll find it there. I haven't touched any of the English-language articles for the area commands and they're still outdated.
::: As for the AA artillery's colors, are you going by a global standard or just tying them to a service branch? If it's the latter, it should use the same color as other artillery units. I don't know how much this would factor in your choice of symbols, but Brazilian Army AA artillery groups exclusively use MANPADS (even the ostensibly "strategic" units under the AA Defense Command), with the exception of the self-propelled AA groups with Gepards.
::: There's a 2025 OrBat for the Northeastern command at :pt:Comando Militar do Nordeste#Lista de unidades ↗. The 2nd Guard Company and 16th Communications Company are gone. The 1st Infantry Company was transferred to the 6th Military Region. The 7th Division has been reinstated, commanding the 7th and 10th Infantry brigades, the 16th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment and the 4th Communications Battalion. The 72nd Infantry Battalion is now formally designated as Caatinga ↗ infantry, not motorized infantry. The 7th Communications Company is now part of the 10th Brigade and headquartered in Recife, whereas the 7th Brigade has a 17th Communications Company in Natal. Serraria (talk) 21:22, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

:::: As for colors: I try to tie them to the service branch whenever the Air Defence is not its own branch. I will use always the missile air defence icon for MANPADS units as those are firing missiles. I will use a different icon for the Gepard units. Until now I used the English articles, as I assumed you updated those. I will use the Portuguese articles from now on. However, please add the various unit listings also to the English articles in the future, so people reading the English wiki can find them too (no hurry though, I will use your work on the Portuguese wiki). As for the 7th Division - I sent you an email. noclador (talk)

Eastern Military Command

At Eastern Military Command (Brazil) ↗ there is some confusion about the units of the 4ª Brigada de Infantaria Leve (Montanha):

11th Mountain Infantry Battalion (''11º Batalhão de Infantaria de Montanha'') in São João Del Rei ↗

32nd Light Infantry Battalion (''32º Batalhão de Infantaria Motorizado'') in Petrópolis ↗ — "Motorizado" in the Portuguese name

::: 😱 fixed both errors. Thank you for finding them. Also: are there any errors in the other Swedish Armed Forces graphics? Like e.g. :File:Swedish Army - Operational organization 2025.png ↗. noclador (talk) 18:24, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Haha, I only noticed thatwhile looking over it briefly. I could probably take some more time to go through it more carefully.
::::As for :File:Swedish Army - Operational organization 2025.png ↗, no, it looks completely correct.
::::P.S. If you’re up for it, I’d recommend creating a graphic for the Swedish Amphibious Corps ↗ as well. Kålrabbis (talk) 05:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

{{ping|Kålrabbis}}:
# Please check :File:Swedish Navy - Swedish Amphibious Corps - Organization 2026-30.png ↗ for errors and omissions (please also double check the Swedish/English articles, as they have in part different organization information (as do the Swedish/English articles about the two regiments). This version of the graphic is based in large part on: :sv:Amfibiebataljon ↗
# I also saw your edit to Structure of the Swedish Army ↗, where you removed the 132nd Infantry Battalion and 212th Infantry Battalion. Are these no longer being formed? If so, they also need to be removed from Swedish Army#Operational formations ↗, and I will then remove them from :File:Swedish Army regiments & their operational units 2026.png ↗.

:I'll answer these as i get done reason, starting with the edit i made:
:The document "Krigsorganisationens utveckling 2025–2035" ↗, which I believe to be the latest publicly available documentation on the planned wartime organisation, states the following on page 2 (at the beginning of the table):
:“Name change from local defence rifle battalion. Of the previously planned five local defence rifle battalions, four are incorporated into brigades and the Gotland battlegroup, while one remains independent.”
:The document does not specify how these battalions are to be integrated into the brigades. It seems likely that they would function as supporting or reserve infantry elements, but this is not explicitly stated. However, as the document indicates that only one battalion will remain independent, I have removed the 131st, 132nd, 211th, and 212th battalions as independent formations, as they were previously listed.
:That said, these battalions likely still exist within the peacetime organisation, but are reorganised into the wartime structure in a different, less clearly defined manner. Kålrabbis (talk) 17:27, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:As for the new graphic, it looks good. Some of the nouns are a bit off, though.
:When writing this, I was heavily considering writing out all the grammatical rules of Swedish, but I fear it might cause more confusion than good, as it is such a strange language sometimes. Not to mention how long this reply would be. Though a bit simple, I have instead provided a list of the units whose names need to be changed, and what needs to be added ('''bold''').
:* 201, 501. ledningskompani'''et'''
:* 202, 502. kustjägarkompani'''et'''
:* 203, 204, 205, 503, 504. amfibieskyttekompani'''et'''
:* 206, 506. underhållskompani'''et'''
:* 2. marina basbataljonen (space it)
:* Stab'''-''' och trosskompani
:* 505. sjömålsbekämpande amfibekompani'''et'''
:* 17. amfibiebevakningsbåtkompani'''et'''
:If you wish to know what the main grammatical problems actually were, some of the names were descriptive nouns rather than proper names. Kålrabbis (talk) 17:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

:: Fixed all the grammar issues. Are the icons ok? noclador (talk) 18:03, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Yeah, all the icons look completely fine. I’m happy to see my critique was taken constructively rather than as an insult. Keep up the good work! Kålrabbis (talk) 18:13, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:<nowiki>Hey, Noclador. I didn't want to open a new thread. Just wanted to let you know, that a new signals battalion popped up in the Bulgarian Land Forces. It is a separate one, called Battalion for Communication and Information Support ( Батальон за комуникационна и информационна поддръжка (бКИП), войсково формирование 57250). They have called their Facebook page Signal Battalion BGR, but this is not official English designation. The battalion is based in Sofia itself in the military base previously occupied by the long defunct 9th 'Gornobanska' Tank Brigade. The battalion was formed in 2022. Also, the 78th Battalion of the land forces is indeed tasked with CIMIC, PsyOps and Geo Support, but the unit is officially and deliberately ambiguously called just 78th Support Battalion or 78th Service Battalion. I cannot exactly say which English translation is more spot on. In Bulgarian it is 78-ми Батальон за осигуряване.~~~</nowiki> B.Velikov (talk) 16:08, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
::Looks like you tagged me too—not too familiar with what the Bulgarians are up to militarily, but it seems rather fascinating! Cheers from Sweden! Kålrabbis (talk) 16:38, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Col War WarPac Troop Lists

Contemporary estimates are now available in the NATO archives, stretching back from the late 1980s to the 1960s. See 1991 ↗. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 21:36, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigades

Dear Noclador, I see you've adopted the shorter and informal "Deep Recce Strike Brigade" form for these formations.

Was this solely on the basis of one instagram post? The British Army website for 3 DRSB still uses the full formal English.

I would much appreciate if you would clarify this. Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 08:04, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

: I read this British Army article ↗, then saw the Instagram post and wrote the British Army to ask them about the 1st and 9th brigade and they responded that Deep Recce Strike Brigade is the new name and both (1st and 9th) are now active. noclador (talk) 20:45, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
:: In accordance with WP:OTRS ↗ that is fine, but it would be good to have the letter, as a source, uploaded. Otherwise we have the brigade names disagreeing with the current 3 DRSB page. That would also be a much more solid reference for the 9th Deep Recce Strike Brigade!! Would you, kindly, please, remove personal identifying marks/addresses, in Paint, or something, and upload the letter to Commons? Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 07:17, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

67th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Manitoba Mounted Rifles) ↗

RCATs are good, but, this page was *already* created, just, however, without the suffix "RCA," as you can see.

Check that the redirects don't already exist!! Buckshot06 (talk) ↗ 06:23, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Airborne designations for PSYOP Companies

Noclador, while attempting to update the status of some airborne designated US Army units, I notice that earlier this year you removed the airborne designation from a handful of Army Reserve psychological operations units. I do not see where the sources you cite specify a change in airborne designation for these companies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2nd_Psychological_Operations_Group&diff=prev&oldid=1331544612

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=7th_Psychological_Operations_Group&diff=prev&oldid=1331546351

Can you point me to some good sources that show these units being removed from airborne status? If not, I may do some edit reversions. Best regards, --McChizzle (talk) 21:50, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
: Over winter I went through the reserve unit listings of all 50 states (e.g. Missouri ↗) and added or removed the "airborne" designation based on the name ''as listed'' in its respective state's listing. noclador (talk) 18:34, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you, Noclador. I cannot get any date information from the Army Reserve websites you cited, or any other website I can find on the World Wide Web ↗. Do you know how to find date information as to when certain PSYOP battalions and companies list on these websites had their information updated, more specifically the 310th PSYOP Co ↗ and 325th PSYOP Co ↗? Also, I am trying to find information on when the 7th POG ↗ and its battalions and companies regained their airborne status. Any help you can provide, with dated information, would be helpful to me and much appreciated. --McChizzle (talk) 20:39, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
::: I believe the Army Reserve website to present accurate data... albeit likely not updated for years. Like you I did not find information outside the Army Reserve website (especially i n regards to companies), and therefore I based the data for the various listings of US Army Reserve units almost entirely on the Army Reserve website. noclador (talk) 21:00, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Okay, thanks! --McChizzle (talk) 22:19, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
