sourced existence
An order of battle is only worth what its weakest claim is worth. This page shows who commands what, nested by reporting relationship, with the evidence grade printed on every claim — and it separates the formations this desk can vouch for from the ones it merely seeded.
The compendium reports 209 formations. That is a count of rows. Below is the count of established units, which is a different number and the one that governs.
A SPECULATIVE existence claim means the formation was seeded into the file and has not been established from a source. Attaching a commander to one would assert who commands something not yet shown to exist, so those records carry neither. Filtering never hides that: the counts above are for the whole file, and the section counters move as you narrow.
1 formation(s) with subordinates. Every node carries its own grade; a parent being DOCUMENTED says nothing about its subordinates.
7 formation(s) whose existence is sourced but which neither command nor report to anything in this file. For a national armed force that may be correct. For a division it is a gap.
190 record(s) seeded with a location and nothing else established. Listed so the gap is visible rather than hidden, and excluded from every figure above.
