A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Takao's explanation continued.

"With a battalion of 1,000, there will be five battalions, eight platoons, and five platoons."

Takeo explains by writing a square in a tree on the blackboard.

"Um... then... the battalion is 1,000, the company is 200, the platoon is 25, and the squad leader is 5?"

The military director looks at the notes and says:

"That's right.

It's a battalion of 1,000 in the Elvis family.

The Godwin family is 3,000 people, so it will be a three-piece battalion. ”

Takeo says.

"Nh... a place of 1,000 people is good."

The territory of the 2nd Prince's family and the territory of the 3rd Prince's family.

There are 500 Knights and soldiers together. ”

"... why don't we increase the number of people by 100 and operate as three squadrons?"

There's no strict battalion name... well, the battalion is only the size of three squadrons. "

Takeo says.

"By the way, what about 2,500 people?"

"A four-person squadron of 800 troops per battalion would be good for three battalions, wouldn't it?"

Or you could have six squadrons in one battalion.

The neighborhood will be ad hoc.

If the battalion were to operate with around 1,000 men, the Lord's will would be enough.

However, it's generally better to tell them to stick to the numbers we just had. ”

It's quite appropriate, isn't it?

"I'm not talking about an implementation plan, I'm just talking about an argument that there's a way of thinking about this kind of thing.

Baron Alderson and I worked very hard on a three-piece platoon, which is commonly referred to as the Examination Squadron.

However, the goal is to be able to quickly figure out how much force the battalion, squadron, and platoon are using when they receive a report. ”

Takeo says.

"Hmm... the proposed organizational reorganization... is a unified standard as a state."

"Yes, and with platoons lining up underneath the top, it's certainly easy to communicate orders, but it depends too much on the top's processing power."

The top sees the entire movement and moves the battalion, the battalion commander moves the company to reflect the will of the top, and the company commander moves the platoon to perform an even narrower range of operations.

The platoon leader moves to execute a narrower area of operations.

This is the kind of flow that we need.

Well, it might take longer than usual to move it.

I think that if each person knows their role, they will be able to respond in an ad hoc manner even if something happens on the spot.

Besides... "

And what?

"As for the attacker's way of thinking, if you take down the military organization in its current state... if you take down the top, you can't make a whole judgment. It's not strange to think that it's likely to start moving separately.

If I had to make a decision, I would go get the head of the top.

This will confuse the opponent's command and make it a little easier to destroy each one.

However, if there is an individual commander in charge like this, for example, if the battalion commander is the evacuee, and the first company commander has the battalion commander's authority on an ad hoc basis, we will move each unit immediately.

At the very least, I don't think it's going to disintegrate, and I think there's a good chance we can bring it to retreat. ”

Takeo says.

"I see... there is certainly a benefit to what Lord Kitamizato said when it comes to organization."

Lord Kitamizato, has this proposal been put forward by the Count of Elvis? "

You don't have to do that, do you?

Takeo responds promptly to the questions of the Chief of the Military Staff.

“Why is that?

This plan looks good, though. ”

"... look carefully, if you were to have a platoon leader or higher as a cadre... how many cadres are there?"

House Elvis is made up of 300 Knights and 700 soldiers.

How many Knights will you tell your soldiers to keep their salaries down (......)? "

Takeshi points to the blackboard.

"... ah..."

It was the Director of the Military Affairs Bureau who spoke up, but I could see that the other faces were also trying to talk about Takeshi.

"If you come up with a plan like this, the leaked Knightsman could stab me."

... the Royal Capital is even more skewed...

The Director of the Human Resources Bureau said while thinking about it.

"In the case of the King's City, if you merge the 1st Knights and the 2nd Knights, form the 1st Battalion, and name it Special Battalion or Immediate Battalion in parentheses, and make it feel special, then you can organize personnel without pay."

Well, in that case, the 2nd battalion is probably understaffed. "

"I see... I have a troubling problem."

"Yes, I think the King's City will still be easy to transition to if you feel special as a King's City, but the Elvis family won't do that, and other local nobles will be troubled."

Takeshi raises his hand and says:

By the way, Lord Kitamizato, if there are multiple battalions, what is the general name?

The Director General asks.

"... the demon kingdom was called an army... I think the regiment is suitable."

However, with a few battalions, a noble army would not use the name Regiment.

It's just three battalions of Godwin troops. "

I see, the name is the army of the nobles.

The general director nodded.
