So, i was trying to make an orbat for the first time, but it is quite the struggle and i do not know what is wrong... i am getting an error that says there is an error on line 14:/CfgORBAT/: "C" Encountered instead of }, can anyone please help? 

 

class CfgORBAT
{
class IranianForces
{
    id = 1;
    idType = 0;
    side = "East";
    commander = "Petrisnov";
    commanderRank = "General";
    text = "Army of the Iranian Goverment";
    subordinates[] = {Sigma Company};
    description = "The Army of the Iranian Goverment has invaded it's neighboring country of Chernarus";
};

class Sigma Company
{
    id = 1;
    idType = 0;
    side = "East";
    size = "Company";
    type = "mechanizedInfantry";
    commander = "Gomez";
    commanderRank = "Captain";
        subordinates[] = {1st Platoon};
};

class  1st Platoon
{
    side = "East";
    size = "Platoon";
    type = "mechanizedInfantry";
    commander = "Nunez";
    commanderRank = "captain";
    description = "It is said that the captain fights alongside his troops, look for him";
        subordinates[] = {AA Section, mortar};
};

class AA Section
{
    id = 1;
    idType = 2;
    side = "West";
    size = "squad";
    type = "infantry";
    commander = "Gomez";
    commanderRank = "captain";
    text = "%1 %2 %3";
    textShort = "%1 %2";
    color[] = {0,1,0,1};
};

class mortar
{
    id = 4;
    idType = 2;
    side = "East";
    size = "section";
    type = "mortar";
    commander = "Gravonski";

i don't know much about orbats but you can't have white spaces in the class names.

I'm not behind my PC, but I suspect @gc8 is correct. Line 14 in your code is:

And I believe that classnames don't have spaces. Would explain why the game is reading "C".

Another tip I would give for working with CfgORBAT is that the game gives very little feedback. Eg: if an image isn't correctly referenced, or has wrong formatting/dimensions, then the module will simply not load in the mission, instead of giving an error message. Same if you enter an unrecognized value in a parameter, such as color = "colorIND" , even though colorWEST is given as an example in the BIKI. Many examples like this. Just be prepared for a lot of trial an error.
