Re: Guild Military Re-structuring.

New Command/Military Structure of the Guilds Military Forces:


The Emperor

then

The Imperial General Staff

then

Generals (Commanding Armies (Variable size) Units purity and Religious fervour monitored by Bishop)

then

Legate (Commanding a Legion (5,500 troops) Units purity and Religious fervour monitored by Arch-Deacon)

then

Camp Prefect (Second in Command of the Legion, usually an Ex-Ranker)

then

Chief Centurion (10 in a Legion commanding a Cohort each (500 troops)

then

Centurion (50 in a Legion commanding a Century each (100 troops) accompanied by a Deacon)

then

Optio (Second in Command of a Century)

then

Standard Bearer

then

Legionnaires

As an additional 120 personnel are parts of a Reconnaissance Contingent split into 4 units of 30 Legionnaires equipped with ‘Bright Star’ Light Scout Cars.

It should be noted one Century of hand picked Legionnaires forms the Legates Body Guard.

Staff Requirements are handled by 1 Senior Tribune and 5 Tribunes who act as a field staff for the Legate in the Legion. The Generals have their own separate Tribune staffs.

Logistical Requirements are controlled by the Tribunes, who can also act as de-facto commander on the absence of the Legate or Camp Prefect. The Logistical and Administrative requirements are met in the fields by the Logistical Branch of the Legion, which comprises around 300-375 persons including clerks, quartermasters as well as the Legions separate Medical/Surgeon service. Note that supplies are centrally drawn in the Combat theatre and the Legions try to live of the land to supplement supply where possible.

Each Legion has 5 Artillery Century’s with 9 105mm Howitzers per Century.

Each Legion has 3 Engineer Century's, with Bridging, Recovery, Mine Sweeping and Construction Equipment.

Armoured Legions contain only Armoured Centuries but with the following Century composition:

Armour: 5 ‘Dark Star’ MBT’s
5 ‘Moranth’ Half-Track/IFV with 7 Legionnaires in each.
1 ‘Lightening Strike’ Mobile Artillery
1 ‘Bird Watcher’ Flak/Anti-Air Missile Half-Track.

you command structure is not complete. most nations have a far more complex system.

OOC: Actually that is complete. It makes perfect sense, however I admit I briefly forgot the Engineers, which would just form another number of century's per Legion.

As a matter of fact that is a fairly complex system based on the Roman system, which is second only to the Napoleonic Corps/Divisional System.

I would ask for WHY you think it is not complete...

so you are critising his becuase he has a simple easy to establish rank order rather then one where it is a constant mess as to who is actually in command? I applaud the simplicity of it all

OOC: Actually, it is much simplified command system, a lot of the branching stuff is in the writing below explaining for example the staff and logistical systems etc. Do you want to try and draw a branching diagram in a NS Text Box? heh...
