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 14 Light Infantry Battalion 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.
