Chains of Command

Sources establish claims about the chain of command, commanders, the sites and areas of operations of units, and incidents through time. Security Force Monitor organizes these claims into structured data. The linkages in time between these claims time-bound periods are inferred according to the Monitor’s methodology. Individual time-bound chains of command can be generated from this data using graph analysis.

Every chain of command which included Aung Kyaw Zaw is shown below. These chains are disaggregated to show the entire time-range of each chain from the lowest unit in the chain to the highest unit at the top of the chain. Any individual who was part of that chain during the date-range is shown as well.

The chains show any direct or positional incidents which are claimed to have occurred during the time-range. Direct incidents have a source which directly names the unit as a perpetrator. Positional incidents occur when there is an intersection between claims from sources alleging an incident occurred and other sources giving a unit an overlapping location and date-range.

The following chains include Aung Kyaw Zaw. Click on a chain to see our inferred time periods as well as every source used to establish the chain of command.
