Text modifiers for military features
The Esri Military Overlay schema for MIL-STD-2525C includes fields that can hold data used in Text Modifiers (Labels, in ArcGIS terms). Some of these values are numeric, others are plain text, a few are dates, and others are stored as coded values mapped to geodatabase coded value domains. The tables below show the mapping of the Text Modifier Field ID and Title to fields in the geodatabase schema.
