Description

Enhancement Type *

Improvement to Existing Feature

Brief Description of Enhancement *

Similar to how the units in the hangar bay 'general' tab have at least the force the unit is in, and the level above that one, such as 'Alpha Squad, Alpha Company', it would be nice if the personnel menu has something similar.

Use Cases or Rationale

It can help with force management, especially if all of your Alpha Lances are called 'Alpha Lance'

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Personnel menu and the hangar bay General tab, which the issue identifies as the reference behavior. Trace how unit hierarchy is displayed in both views and define the finished state as showing each personnel unit with its containing force and one level above, including duplicate names such as Alpha Lance.
