In the UIC example WNA5BO, which components form the unique identifier and the company code?

• A. WNA is the unit code; 5BO is the company code
• B. NA5 is the unique identifier; BO indicates Bravo company
• C. WN is the base; A5BO is the unit type
• D. WA5 is the unit index; NB0 is the squad

Answer: (B)

In a UIC, the unit’s specific identity is encoded in the middle portion, while the company code is the final two characters. For WNA5BO, the middle three characters NA5 uniquely identify the unit. The last two characters BO designate Bravo Company. The leading character(s) (like the initial W) belong to another field of the code and aren’t part of the two designations in question.
