Practical International Data Management - Military addresses

As military units are generally mobile, unlike street delivery points, and their location may be secret, military addressing may differ from street addresses in both format and components. They often contain different postal code ranges and may be handled by a separate postal system to civilian mail.

Components of a military address

• Company/Unit information
• Branch of the armed forces (army, air force, navy etc.)
• Routing codes
• Place name
• Administrative district
• Postal code
• Sorting code
• Country name
• Part of the world

Examples
