Organizations/Hebridonian Army

From Hebridonia Wiki

Both the constabulatory and the Hebridonian army follow a standard rank structure, though the organizations are entirely seperate. Each guard or soldier has an assigned rank (shown from Highest to Lowest):
General
Colonel
Major
Captain
Lieutenant
Sergent*
Corporal*
Private*
(*) - A non commisioned rank. To advance beyond a non-commisioned rank, one must undergo specific training, and this privilege is usually reserved for noble families or their patrons.
It is not unusual for the largest organizational unit within a Barony to have the Baron or ruling lord of that region as its commander. This is usually a Regiment, but in larger Baronies it may be a Division, with lesser nobles controlling the lower ranks.

Organizational Units

Squad Composed of 8-12 privates, commanded by a Corporal
Company Composed of eight squads (64-92 men), commanded by two Sergents, and a Lieutenant.
Cohort Composed of six companies (360-550 men), commanded by a Captain
Regiment Composed of four Cohorts (1200-2200 men), commanded by a Major
Division Composed of four Regiments (4800-9000 men), commanded by a Colonel

Within a Barony, the size of a standing army can vary greatly with the resources available. Eastern Baronies, especially those bordering the Barraigh Mountains, keep only a handful of cohorts, mostly for guarding against orc attacks. Kalen, Cromdale, and Stonehaven maintain the largest armies, with each sporting anywhere from four to six regiments. Additional troops are mustered in times of war, with royal decree give to Barons to raise the required forces. Such musters are not always effective if the Barons are unconvinced that the expense is warrented, such as the case of the 1005 invasion of Cromdale.
