shouldn't that be secret!

OOC: The designations and nicknames of US military units are extremely easy to come by, doesn't seem to hurt them in combat any.

[ I wouldn't think so. After all, what good would it do for your opponent? They can already easily take a look at your pop, figure your fighting forces from it, and break it down into standardized divisions and whatnot if they felt the need to.

Plus, you gain a little credibility for publishing a more in-depth list than "10,000 soldiers land here." ]

I've mostly done character RPs to this point, so when I start war RPing (I have a couple in the works) I plan to have a very detailed list of my units and their organization.

I can't be bothered to name and number all my regiments and battalions right now, so I'll use brigades and divisions.

In most tactical environments, senior enlisted are usually in effective command over junior officers (1LT and below) and as such they are given the authority to command most units up to company size independtly of commisioned officers. Junior Commisioned officers generally relay mission objectives to the senior NCO who then reccomends the best course of action.

The Army, Airforce and Marines use the exact same rank, and the Navy uses identical insigna except for the fact that it is blue instead of red and has different names for each rank(names for the navy shown in blue). The KOP and SPX special operations units use entirely different rank.

Army and Marines: (and Militia)

4 Squads = 1 Platoon [Led by E-6 PSG E-7 SFC or in rare cases E-6 SSG ]
4 Platoons = 1 Company [Led by a Captain or Major and an E-8 1SG or in rare cases E-8 MSG]
4-6 Companies = 1 Battalion [Led by a Major or LTCOL and an E-9 SGM]
2-3 Battalions = 1 Regiment(special units)[always led by a Colonel or Commander and an E-9 CSG]
4-5 Battalions = 1 Brigade [Led by a Commander or higher E-9 SGM or E-9 CSG]
2-6 Brigades = 1 Division[Always led by General or higher, any E-7 to E-9 can serve as enlisted liason]
3-5 Divisions = 1 Corps[Always led by special rank "Commandant"]
2 or more Corps = "Operational Maneuver Group(OMG){Airforce and Marines}", "Army Group" or simply "Army"{when it is comprised of army units}[Led by Field Marshall Seville II or in rare cases a 5 star General]
