Symbol codes

Both Kinetic maps render MIL-STD-2525C symbols in two places, each with its own field well, and both accept a built-in friendly name (case-insensitive) or a raw SIDC:

• Symbol — the military symbol for a unit point. See Unit symbols.
• Event: type — the icon for a scenario event. See Event types.

Every code on this page is generated directly from the visual’s own source, so it cannot drift from what the visual actually accepts.

Unit symbols

123 unit symbols, addressable by 231 names including aliases and US/UK spellings. The SIDCs below are written for a friendly company — change the echelon and affiliation characters to vary them (see Building a SIDC).

Building a SIDC

If a symbol you need has no friendly name, type the raw 15-character SIDC instead.

Position	Meaning	Common values
1	Coding scheme	S warfighting, O stability ops, E emergency management
2	Affiliation	F friendly, H hostile, N neutral, U unknown
3	Battle dimension	G ground, A air, S sea surface, U subsurface
4	Status	P present, A anticipated
5–10	Function ID	the symbol itself
11–12	Echelon	E company, F battalion, G regiment, H brigade
13–15	Country / order of battle	usually ---

So SFGPUCI----E--- reads: warfighting, friendly, ground, present, infantry, company. Change character 2 to H for the hostile equivalent, or characters 11–12 to F for a battalion.

Five names live in both fields

air defense gun, cbrn, chemical, electronic warfare, and post office are registered as both a unit symbol and an event symbol. They resolve differently depending on which field well you bind them to — the Symbol field gives you the unit variant, Event: type gives you the equipment or facility variant.
