The opening paragraph (or lead section) should concisely convey:


 * 1) The formal title of the unit, its abbreviation and nickname(s) (if applicable).
 * 2) The unit's country or allegiance.
 * 3) If applicable, what service is/was the unit part of (e.g. Air Force, Army, Navy)
 * 4) When was it formed?
 * 5) If the unit no longer exists, when was it disbanded/deactivated?
 * 6) Notable battles/operations/wars.

The article can be structured along these lines:


 * 1) The unit's history: Why was it formed? Who formed it? Where has the unit served in peacetime and war? What happened?
 * 2) If the unit still exists, where is it now? What higher formation is the unit assigned to, if any? What is its current role (e.g., Armoured, Marines)?
 * 3) A unit's traditions
 * 4) If applicable, mention gallantry medals awarded to individuals (e.g., the Medal of Honor, Param Vir Chakra, and Victoria Cross).
 * 5) If applicable, mention unit awards (e.g., battle honours, presidential citations).

If the article is lengthy, it can be divided into sections, structured along lines set out in the preceding guideline.
