Ground Force Organization
Recently there was some discussion re. the composition of ground forces.
According to the Book of Moron (thats Path of Tears for those who have
embraced TNE which includes me) forces are comprised of the following:
one battalion equivalent per 2000 personnel (includes one maneuver
battalion (of about 500) and its support personnel (about 500)
plus up to 1000 others in the supporting military infrastructure
types of maneuver bttns: infantry, cavalry, armor, airborne, commando,
etc.
support bttns:
combat support: combat eng, field art, air defense, antitank art,
coastal defense, fortress art, etc.
non-cmbt support: signal, forward supply, transport, maintenance,
MPs, etc.
infrastructure: medical, veterinary, admin, training, theater and rear
area supply, judge advocate general, and general staff personnel
one division equivalent per 20000 personnel typically of 10 maneuver and
10 support battalions and 10000 infrastructure personnel
Fron TL5+ the typical battalion consists of five 100 man comnpanies: 3
line, 1 support, 1 HQ
Hope this may be of some use to someone. As to my intended discussion
of the RQS in the new era it will need to simmer for now . . . the old
computer needs to go into the shop and based on the last time I'll be
without for 4-6 weeks :( At least that should give me time to come up
with something really creative.
