This is an interesting idea. But the current proposal only provides a way to tag the military service branch of a military=base feature (which is usually also landuse=military).
It might be better if there were a way to tag the branch for any sort of military feature, including military=office, military=danger_area <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Amilitary%3Ddanger_area>, military=barracks, and so on. -- Joseph Eisenberg On Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 4:22 PM Graeme Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Following on from comments made in regard to deprecating both emergency= & > amenity=coast_guard & replacing them with military=coast_guard: > > On Mon, 7 Dec 2020 at 02:01, Brian M.
