Military Overlay Editor

ArcGIS Military Analyst also includes MOLE, which supports MIL-STD 2525B and custom war-fighting symbologies.

With MOLE, you can

• Add geographic data in vector, raster, or other supported formats for reference while composing and positioning unit symbols.
• Manually or automatically add leader lines to multiple symbols that occur at the same location.
• Stack symbols of identical units that occur at the same location.
• Print draft copies of your map to any standard Windows output device.
• Use graphics generated by MOLE in Windows-based ArcGIS.

MOLE is also a toolkit for developers who want to embed MIL-STD 2525B symbology into their applications using ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS Server.
