In this chapter, you will learn how to create NATO Commercial and Government Entities and how to connect them to different objects.
It is necessary for NATO to record each entity's details, such as a manufacturer name, against codified items. A five character NATO commercial and government entity code (NCAGE) is assigned to each entity to meet this requirement. This code reflects the source and location of technical documentation for an item.
