Here's a breakdown of each component:

1. Full Name: The recipient's full name, including any middle initials.
2. Rank: The recipient's military rank (e.g., Private, Lieutenant, Captain, etc.).
3. Service: The branch of the military (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, etc.).
4. Unit: The recipient's unit designation (e.g., 101st Airborne, USS Nimitz, etc.).
5. APO/FPO: The address is being sent to an Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) location. APOs are used for Army and Air Force personnel, while FPOs are used for Navy and Marine Corps personnel.
6. Zip Code: The zip code for the APO/FPO location.
