  "Company Net (CH 1)": {
    "Platoon Net (CH 2)": {
      "Alpha Squad (CH 3)": {
        "Alpha Squad Fireteam 1 (CH 31)": {},

    "Aviation (CH 8)": {},
    "Tac Air (CH 9)": {},

  }
}

Output

This will generate a hierarchical chart image showing the nets, squads, and fireteams, with color-coded squads and their fireteams for clarity.

  • On Windows, restart your terminal after installing Graphviz.
  • Verify installation by running:
dot -V
