Reference Force Element 
Definition
An object type for mapping generic force elements and for creating reference structures.
Use
Use this object to map generic force elements and structures. Reference force elements do not represent organizational elements that already exist or that are planned in your organization. Rather, they map comparable, uniform template objects and structures (NATO-wide, for example).
Assignments of reference force elements to force elements are currently for information purposes only.
Structure
Technically, the reference force element is implemented by the object type RF (as opposed to the force element, which technically is based on the object type O). As in the case of the force element, the object is stored in infotype 1000.
