Central to MIL-STD-2525B—and, therefore, MOLE—is the Symbol ID code, a 15-character identifier. The characters and numbers that make up the code provide critical information about the war fighting elementthe code represents: how big the unit is, if it has mobility, if it is hostile, and so on. MOLE takes the information provided in the code and any additional information you provide in attributes and renders the war fighting element as a symbol in ArcGIS.
The presence of this code in a field named Symbol_ID in a dataset allows you to open and use the dataset in MOLE.
