Organization Levels

Organization Levels define your associated organization’s hierarchal relationship and naming conventions for example, Org, Sub-Org, Department and Unit; Division, Wing, Group and Squadron; 1, 2, 3 and so on. The organizational levels must first be determined before adding organizational records into CAIRS. Organization levels must be determined before users can enter information into the organizational tree. When users enter an organization into the database, they determine the level where it belongs.
