Army/Military Unit Graphic Symbols

Enhance your briefs, rehearsals, and terrain model kits with 3D-printed military unit symbols. Designed for clarity and ease of use, these symbols help visualize operational plans and battlefield layouts effectively. Symbols are available from team to brigade level for friendly and enemy units.

All unit symbols have a 6mm x 3mm hole in the back so you can insert magnets into each symbol for use on a whiteboard or to move them with a magnetic stick. You can also print a ground stake attachment for unit symbols so they can stand upright in dirt or sand.

Assembly Instructions

The modular design allows you to quickly build, modify, and reuse unit symbols without reprinting entire pieces. Base symbols and modifiers are interchangeable, which reduces file management complexity and maximizes the number of parts you can produce on a single print bed.

Components

• Unit Symbol Base – square tile with precision slots

• Echelon Modifiers – peg-mounted indicators of unit echelon/size

• Name/Label Modifiers – peg-mounted identifiers for unit names

• Display Stands – dual-sided holders for friendly and enemy units
