Forms are important for military operations, and there is often a need to handle forms quickly and share with a large number of users. XMPP based open standard instant messaging is widely used by military organizations and is a sensible framework for sharing forms.

This whitepaper looks at the requirements for military forms and how the XEP-0346 "Forms Display and Publishing" (FDP) can be used to address these requirements. The paper looks at how capabilities provided by M-Link support military forms using FDP, and how gateways can enable integration with other services.

Isode has become aware of this requirement for military forms, but the capability described here is generic. There may well be other applications, such as first responder support, where the functionality described here is also useful.
