Military taxonomy

Military taxonomy is an indexing tool or record-keeping template.[1] It includes weapons, equipment, organizations, strategies, and tactics.[2]

Military taxonomy can be used in military science to analyze field missions and other activities.[1] For example, a taxonomy of terrorism would include terms related to terrorists, terrorist groups, terrorist attacks, weapons, venues, and characteristics of terrorists and terrorist groups.[2]

A taxonomy of terms that describes types of military actions is affected by how all elements are defined and used.[3] Many military strategies can be analyzed using a taxonomy model.[4]
