The Security Force Monitor data model is a directed graph containing attriutes about units, persons, locations as they change across time. This is quite complicated and does not easily translate into a single file that is straightforward to understand and use without guidance. To get around this and provide a way to provide raw data directly to users, we offer seven different reports drawn from the data on a specific country:

- **Basic**: a list of all the units in that country
- **Parentage**: units organized into a hierarchy
- **Memberships**: units that are part of operations that may fall outside the regular chain of command
- **Areas of operation**: geographical distribution of units' operational areas
- **Sites**: specific locations
- **Personnel**: list of command personnel
- **Sources**: sources used to evidence the data

- **Sites**: specific locations.
- **Personnel**: list of command personnel.
- **Sources**: sources used to evidence the data.

A full description of each downloadable slice of data is available in the sections below. It is important to note that none of the download contain the field-level sourcing that is a key part of Security Force Monitor's work (see :ref:`Data integrity measures` for more information). The reason for this is technical (discussed `here <https://github.com/security-force-monitor/sfm-cms/issues/661#issuecomment-635450705>`__ on the code repository for the software that powers WhoWasInCommand.
