A military person infobox may be used to summarize information about an individual military person, such as a soldier or military leader.

The infobox should be added using the साँचा:tl template, as shown below:

{{Infobox military person
| honorific_prefix  = 
| name              = 
| honorific_suffix  = 
| native_name       = 
| native_name_lang  = 
| image         = 
| image_size    = 
| alt           = 
| caption       = 
| birth_date    = <!-- {{Birth date|YYYY|MM|DD}} -->
| death_date    = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD}} -->
| birth_place   = 
| death_place   = 
| placeofburial = 
| placeofburial_label = 
| placeofburial_coordinates = <!-- {{Coord|LAT|LONG|display=inline,title}} -->

| relations     = 
| laterwork     = 
| signature     = 
| website       = <!-- {{URL|example.com}} -->
}}

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). Please keep in mind WP:ICONDECORATION for the use of images.

• honorific_prefix – titles such as "Sir", "General".
• name – the full name of the person.
• honorific_sufffix – post-nominal honours such as "OBE"
• native_name – the person's name in their own language
• native_name_lang – ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} for |native_name= instead
• image – optional – an image of the person. The image must be given in the form Example.jpg; an image of a nation's highest award, such as the Medal of Honor or Victoria Cross, may be displayed for recipients of it, especially as a placeholder.
• image_size – optional – the size of the image in px. Give the number without the px suffix (for example, 220 rather than 220px).
• alt Alt text, if used, must be placed here.
• caption – optional – the text to be placed below the image.
• birth_date – optional – the date of birth, if known, using {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date and age}}.
• death_date – optional – the date of death, if applicable and known, in {{Death date and age}}.
• birth_place – optional – the person's birthplace.
• death_place – optional – the place where the person died.
• placeofburial – optional – the place where the person's remains are buried or otherwise interred.
• placeofburial_label – optional – the label to use for the placeofburial field (above); this is intended to be used in cases where the remains were disposed of in a manner other than burial, and defaults to "Buried at" if not set.
• placeofburial_coordinates – optional – the precise location where the person's remains are buried or otherwise interred. For coordinates, use साँचा:tl with display=inline,title. Please do not be overly precise.
• nickname – optional – nickname(s) by which the person was known.
• birth_name – optional – the name the person was born with, if different from that used later in life.
• allegiance – optional – the country or other power the person served. Multiple countries may be indicated together with the corresponding dates. This field should not be used to indicate a particular service branch, which is better indicated by the branch field (below).
• branch – optional – the service branch (Army, Navy, etc.) the person was a part of; this should be left blank for people who were not part of a formal armed service, or who predate the establishment of formal service branches.
• serviceyears – optional – the years during which the person served.
• rank – optional – the highest rank achieved by the person. Unusual cases, such as this rank not being the last achieved, or the rank being awarded posthumously, may be noted. In cases where the person held different ranks in different armies, multiple ranks should be specified with a date and country note for each. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.
• service number – optional – the service number held by the individual during military service.
• unit – optional – for persons who are not notable as commanding officers, the unit (company, battalion, regiment, etc.) in which they served. This should be omitted if the commands are specified (as above).
• commands – optional – for persons who are notable as commanding officers, the units they commanded. Dates should be given if multiple notable commands were held. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.
• battles – optional – any notable battles or wars in which the person participated. This should be omitted if a campaignbox is used in conjunction with this template.
• battles_label – optional – the label to use for the battles field (above); defaults to "Battles/wars". Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.
• awards – optional – any notable awards or decorations the person received; exhaustive lists should be worked into the prose. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.
• relations – optional – any notable relations. Only reasonably close ones should be indicated; an exhaustive listing of an extensive family tree should be avoided here.
• laterwork – optional – profession or positions held by the person other than military service (displays with the label "Other work"). Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}.
• signature – optional – an image of the person's signature. The image must be given in the form example.jpg.
• signature_size – optional – the size of the signature in px. Give the number without the px suffix.
• signature_alt – optional – alt text for the signature.
• website – optional – Use {{URL}}

For parameters which take lists of values, such as |unit= or |commands=, use {{Plainlist}}.

Embedding

Many military people are known for more than just their military service (e.g., Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and James Stewart), and hence it may be desirable to merge this infobox with another one, like साँचा:tl. By adding "साँचा:para" to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating the illusion of one continuous infobox. Though the process is a little complicated, it is possible to insert this infobox into most if not all other infoboxes. For साँचा:tl, this infobox is passed as a "module" using the साँचा:para syntax.

{{Infobox person
| name          = John Infobox
| image         = Example.jpg
| caption       = John Infobox in 2005
| birth_name    = John Military Person Infobox
| birth_date    = {{Birth date|1950|5|5}}
| birth_place   = Template City
| death_date    = {{Death date and age|2010|10|10|1950|5|5}}
| occupation    = Actor
| years_active  = 1970–1990
| module        = {{Infobox military person|embed=yes
| allegiance    = {{Flag|United States of America}}
| branch        = [[File:Us army air corps shield.svg|25px]] [[United States Army Air Forces]]
| serviceyears  = 1980-1985
| rank          = [[File:US-O7 insignia.svg|20px]] [[Brigadier general (United States)|Brigadier General]]
| website       = {{URL|example.com}}
}}
