What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model is a breadth placeholder describing a polity's forces: their units and command lines, references to the assets they hold, the legal mandates under which they exist and may deploy, and coarse readiness states.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Forces, assets, mandates (breadth placeholder; detail = G3)
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because even a placeholder must anchor the catalogue's references to forces and their mandates, and because it carries the most restrictive default access in the catalogue.

Owners Filled
Steward
The defense authority stewards this model under the tightest default access in the catalogue: nothing is visible beyond the public transparency summary except by explicit owner grant.
Links to other meta-models Filled
references
- world.defenseOperations - all operational depth, plans and engagements live there; this model only anchors identity, structure and mandate
- world.lawmaking - mandates and deployment authorizations trace to enactments
- world.publicOffice - the command apex and civilian control sit in branch bodies
- world.interstateRelations - alliance obligations shape structure and govern allied exchange
composes
- world.auditTrail - every structural and mandate change is append-only

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Incomplete
Identity and identifiers required Derived, awaiting review
- assetReference: an identifier of an asset held by a unit, resolved elsewhere; key attributes: assetIdentifier, assetClass, custodyUnitRef, snapshotDate
Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Institutional or informational subject: no invented physical properties.
Recognition optional Missing, in the backlog

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- forceEstablished: a force was constituted under a legal mandate
- unitFormed: a unit was formed and placed in the command structure
- unitDisbanded: a unit was dissolved and its references closed
- mandateGranted: a founding or empowering act took effect for a force
- readinessAssessed: a dated coarse readiness state was recorded for a unit
- deploymentAuthorized: a competent authority permitted a deployment
- deploymentConcluded: an authorized deployment ended and reporting closed
Legacy events listed as state transitions.
Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review
- oversightDisclosure: graded access for mandated oversight bodies, scoped by clearance class
- alliedExchange: treaty-based exchange of structure and readiness data with allied polities per A15
- publicTransparencySummary: periodic aggregate disclosure of force posture and spending class
- publicDefenseSummary: high-level posture and mandate summary; omits units, assets and readiness
- oversightView: structure, mandates and authorizations for mandated committees; omits operational detail held in G3
- orderOfBattle: the restricted full structure with asset references and readiness; omits nothing within this model's breadth
Context of use required Filled
- All grants, including oversight and allied exchange, flow through S1 ownership and S2 access, with S4 audit on every disclosure.
