Ground Forces
Ground Forces Battalions are designated Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Logistics or Special Forces.
Infantry
Infantry are ranked using conventional ratings as well as ceremonial Latin ranks.
Infantry are grouped into Centuries (Companies) of 10 Squads or 100 fighting men but are most commonly deployed in Legions (Battalions) of, 10 Centuries, 100 Squads or 1 000 fighting men.
Each Squad consists of 5 Assault Troopers, one of whom holds the rank of Captain (Decurion) and commands the squad, and 5 troopers who have completed specialist training. Some of these roles are mission specific. These are the Supply Trooper, Field Sniper Trooper, Heavy Weapons/Demolitions Trooper, Armed Field Medic and Long Range Communications Trooper. One Trooper from any class holds the rank of Corporal (Optio) and aids the captain with command issues. These ranks and classes allow the Squad to operate as an effective unit in a pitched battle, or as a single unit completing specific orders of moderate importance.
All troopers are trained extensively in there role as ground based infantry including weapon use and logistics. Each has also received enough education and training to be able to treat basic wounds, assist demolitions operations and make independent tactical decisions. Every trooper is able to deploy from an amphibious assault or airborne para-assault however these roles are usually reserved for the specially trained troops from the Navy’s Marines and the Air force’s Special Airborne Assault Force.
All troopers wear semi waterproof, full body battle jumpsuits, combat boots, gloves, thick helmets (US Marine Style), basic body armour and close fitting, waterproof packs and webbing as standard. Each carries food water and ammunition dependent on mission profiles and is equipped with utility tools, binoculars, UHF radio, goggles and personal tent as well as mission specific equipment such as night vision, maps, digging equipment etc.
