The OBJ file holds all the objectives in a mission. Objectives are basically static things, like towns, cities, bridges, bases. Things which cannot be moved.

Objectives are usually composed of features. Each feature being a particular part of the overall objective. So an airbase objective may have runway, hangar and control tower as features.

Objectives also have a fixed position on the map governed by their X, Y coordinates. They may also have:

a parent - an objective that they are a child of, used in the naming sometimes.
a name - an index into the strings file used to name the objective. 0 indicates the objective has no name of its own.
a campaign ID - ID2 - used to related things.
an owner - which side owns this objective.
a controller - which side actually controls the objective.
a type - an index into the OCD file showing which objective type this is.
Various flags associated with the objective
Details of each feature composing the objective, detailing how damaged it is.
