 The Theatre of War infobox is designed to record information about a specific unit's deployment to a specific theatre of war. It should generally be used on pages that also use {{tlx|infobox military unit}} and be placed below that template. The infobox can be repeated as necessary to allow for multiple theatres. Non-consecutive periods of service in the same theatre should be shown in separate instances of the template. For this site, 'theatre of war' includes some places and times that were not officially classed as theatres of war but are useful for recording a unit's location.
-The box should be added using the {{tlx|Infobox command structure}} template, as shown below:
