- native_name – optional – The formal name of the unit in the local language, if different from unit_name, and if not English. This will display under the unit_name.

200px. - alt – optional – Alternative text for visually impaired users, see WP:ALT.

- decorations – optional – Any decorations (such as the Presidential Unit Citation) that the unit as a whole has received.

Command structure box
A command structure box may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit's parent and subordinate units; it should generally be used in conjunction with {{Infobox military unit}}. If needed, multiple boxes may be used to show the unit's command structure during different periods.
The box should be added using the {{Infobox command structure}} template, as shown below:
{{Infobox command structure
| name =
| date =
| parent =
| subordinate =
}}
Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).
- name – the name of the unit or formation.
- date – optional – the dates during which the given structure was in place.
- parent – optional – the unit's parent unit.
- subordinate – optional – the unit's subordinate units.
Infobox service record

| Victories |
30 ships (162,769 GRT) sunk, 1 warship (29,150 tons) sunk, 8 ships (62,751 GRT) damaged |
A service record box may be used to summarize information about an individual military unit's or ship's service history; it should generally be used in conjunction with the appropriate primary infobox. If needed, multiple boxes may be used to separate the service record for different periods; for example, a unit that fought in several wars may have separate boxes for each.
The box should be added using the {{Infobox service record}} template, as shown below:
{{Infobox service record
| is_ship =
| is_multi =
| label =
| partof =
| codes =
| commanders =
| operations =
| victories =
| awards =
}}
Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).
- is_ship – optional – "yes" if the box is being used inside a compound ship infobox.
- is_multi – optional – "yes" if multiple instances of the box are being used inside a single compound ship infobox.
- label – optional – the label to use for the box; this defaults to "Service record" if left blank.
- partof – optional – the unit or formation of which the subject unit or ship was a part; multiple units may be listed with the corresponding dates.
