For the time being, at least, can we use this for all military affiliations, not just branches? Such as saying en:Black Watch Armoury in Montreal is part of en:The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:28, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're getting at? "Branch" and "part of" are two different properties in military units. I don't think we want to lump them together. The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada is branch = Canadian Army-Primary Reserves. Part of = Royal Canadian Infantry Corps. That armoury looks like it was a garrison, so could be specified as a HQ. Danrok (talk) 11:41, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The new constraint on type military unit (Q176799) reveals that this property is already in use for nearly 7500 human (Q5) items... Is this an adequate use that should be allowed? LaddΩ chat ;) 14:18, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Military unit" and "branch of service" don't quite align - one is the specific assignment ("Fooian 1st Division"), the other is the overall force to which they belong ("Fooian Army"). It's possible, though unusual, for units to contain people from multiple branches. Andrew Gray (talk) 10:43, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A person being a member of only one military branch is indeed the common case, but legitimate violations of this constraint aren't all that rare. Two common cases in which it happens: 1) a country's armed force branches may be reorganized, so people are members of different branches at different points in their career, and 2) countries may cease to exist and/or people may move between them. For example, around 1917, a number of members of the Imperial Russian Army (Q1078222) became members of the Red Army (Q251395). --Delirium (talk) 20:47, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this has now been removed, thanks! --Delirium (talk) 23:57, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

separator (P4155) = start time (P580), end time (P582) parameter allows to handle such cases correctly. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 05:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it doesn't solve the problem. It's a fact that there have been many people who served in more than one army at the same time. F.e. Q62507 who served in both Q520220 since 1664 and Q2240425 since 1672. Roelof Hendrickx (talk) 18:35, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
