How to map
 | Caution: mapping military installations is welcomed in OpenStreetMap, but may be prohibited by local law. Before mapping potentially sensitive sites such as these, please be aware of Section I b of the OSMF Terms of Use: "You are responsible for your own actions [...] OSMF generally cannot offer any protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification." |
Map the outline of the military area 
and add
In cases where it is applicable also add military=* and military_service=*.
Note that in many cases military=* objects are mapped separately, for example military=bunker that may be within landuse=military or outside it (common for historic bunkers).
For military bases add military=base for the base area.
Additional tags
- name=*
- military_service=*
- military=*
Note that following military=* values are rather tagged on separate objects. In many cases such object will not be within landuse=military. For example historic bunkers are commonly outside areas used by military.
