Mapping in mule - convert one element to multiple

Question

I have an XML input,

        <MilitaryHistory>
            <Branch>AString</Branch>
            <Branch>BString</Branch>
        </MilitaryHistory>

And it should be converted to

        <MilitaryHistory>
            <military>
                <Branch>AString</Branch>
            </military>
            <military>
               <Branch>BString</Branch>
            </military>
        </MilitaryHistory>

I don't see any option to map these, when I do the normal mapping from parent level. Target is disabled for military element.

I dragged from source military to military in the target and changed the below in script.

output.__id = input.__id;
output.__parent_id = input.__parent_id;

to

output.__id = input.__id;
output.__parent_id = input.__id;

I get below output,

         <MilitaryHistory>
            <military>
                <Branch>AString,Bstring</Branch>
            </military>
        </MilitaryHistory>

I tried creating rule under MilitaryHistory tag, but no luck

You can use an XSLT to get the expected output... use XSLT Transformer of Mule and use XSLT script in it to get your expected output
