Template:Infobox military operation/doc

Usage

Operational plan box

An operational plan box may be used to describe a particular planned or executed military operation. For operations that resulted in combat, it should be used as an auxiliary template to the military conflict infobox; for other types of operations, including those that were planned but never executed, it may be used alone. In the case of conflicts that consisted of multiple independent operations, multiple copies of the box may be used on a single article.

The box should be added using the {{operational plan}} template, as shown below:

{{operational plan
| name        = 
| partof      =
| image       = 
| caption     = 
| scope       =
| type        =
| location    =
| coordinates = 
| planned     = 
| planned_by  = 
| objective   = 
| target      =
| executed    = 
| date        =
| time        =
| time-begin  =
| time-end    =
| timezone    =
| executed_by = 
| outcome     = 
| casualties  = 
}}

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).
