Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 358 Reorganization
"set off!"

Alan Janus handed the battle flag to the flag bearer behind him, and carried the long sword in his hand behind his back.

The long sword bestowed by the Primarch was a little too big for him. Unless it was used as a two-handed sword, it would still be difficult to control with his height of nearly 3 meters.

The formation of the first large group is being disassembled in an orderly manner. Ten combat companies with a total of 100 people, a total of 1000 people, began to follow their respective predetermined routes, traveling to the transmission array and the flight deck through the corridor and the rail train in the ship.

Calvin and the honor guard are also among the teams heading to the teleportation array. He will take two companies directly under the legion, together with the first company under Allen's command, as the first batch of landing forerunners.

Yes, the reorganized Legion organization is not only different from the existing organization of the Gray Knights, but also very different from all "canon organization" and its derived variants.

It is more like an intermediate product between the legions of the Great Crusade era and the existing warbands in order to adapt to the status quo of the empire.

Considering that there is no real "recruit stage" for the Gray Knights, and in Calvin's expectation, units at the regiment level are also in line with the status quo of the empire, and can be assembled in a short period of time to undertake the best formation of a complete tactical system .

Therefore, Calvin has extremely high tactical requirements for the unit "war regiment". In his concept, apart from the fact that the tactical organization of this level is similar to the battle regiment in the "Holy Code", its essence is something on another level. .

First of all, from the very beginning, the "battlegroup" under the Gray Knights Legion system was not a semi-reclamation garrison similar to a military district like the "Holy Code" wargroup.

With the support of a complete legion system, they do not need to consider logistics and personnel training at all, and they are military organizations established for the purpose of participating in large-scale battles at any time.

Secondly, in terms of tactical positioning, a standard battle group should be a unit capable of undertaking independent battlefield tasks in Calvin's prediction;
Or it can independently undertake the complete establishment of a campaign-level strategic goal in the direction of a star area when the attached units are complete. (The various regiment-level units of the Tindalos Legion will also be officially split with this reorganization.

They, as well as the Order of Omen in the direction of Krieger, will also form corresponding infantry, heavy armor, knight titans, and even titan legions around these upcoming battle groups. )
Therefore, in Calvin's vision, the battle group's combat state was divided into a "tactical" state without attached troops, and a "complete" state under the blessing of the million mortal auxiliary army of the Tindalos Legion and the Titan Legion of the Order of Omen. body" state.

The former is simply the armed force of the Gray Knights headquarters:
Among the ten companies under this "regimental organization", there is no organization similar to the reconnaissance company prepared by other Astartes battle groups for recruits, but ten actual combat companies.

And among the ten battle companies, except for one elite company that directly belongs to the battle group itself and also takes command functions while fighting, the other nine companies have more tactical functions.

They will divide labor according to different tactics, and in addition to their own special operations and anti-subspace operations, they will also master conventional tactical skills such as armored operations, air vehicle operations, and fleet command.

It can be said that the Gray Knights battle group in the tactical state will have more abundant troops than the original battle group, and at the same time have a faster response speed.

As for the latter, it is another level of concept:

With the battlefield cover and tactical cover of millions of troops of the Tindalos Legion, coupled with the support of the Order of Omen, such as Knight Titans, Titan Legion and Omnic Legion.

The Gray Knights have essentially become a tactical force qualified to participate in the "Apocalypse" level battlefield.

And with the existence of mechanical arks in their fleet, they are fully capable of independently supporting their own logistics support, so that they can become a force that can fight fiercely behind enemy lines on a future battlefield without losing their core strength. strategic pillar.

To sum up, Calvin’s final reorganization plan is as follows:

Among the ten battle companies in the war group, the first company is the company directly under the regiment.

All members of the company are officers or reserve officers. On the basis of conventional combat tasks, they also undertake the command of the battle group and the training of officers;

The remaining nine companies are divided according to specific combat functions.

Among them, the second company is the veteran company, which is specially prepared for the gray knights who are developing in the direction of individual soldiers.

The soldiers of this company will specialize in spiritual power and killing skills on the battlefield. Their position in the battle group is not only the strongest combat force of the infantry, but also the cradle of champion swordsmen at the grassroots level.

The third company is the reconnaissance company. They will use the special skills they have learned such as infiltration, assassination, and intelligence collection, and cooperate with equipment such as psionic infiltration, hypnosis skills, and optical camouflage to lead the battle group into large-scale battlefields.

The [-]th Company is the Heavy Company, and the armored units directly under the Chapter, such as heavy tanks and atmospheric aircraft, are under their control.

The fifth company is the pharmacist company, which is dispersed during wartime and follows the combat units to complete the task of gene seed recovery and purification.

The sixth company is the naval battle command company, which specializes in the command of warships and the management of their huge crews.

The [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th companies belonged to the regular infantry companies.They will form their own preferred fighting styles according to the positioning of their respective offensive and defensive tactics.

As for the final tenth company, it was set up as a sacred object preservation company. In addition to serving as the main force in ground combat with the first three companies, they were also responsible for the maintenance of ordnance and the maintenance of sacred objects such as sacred dreadnoughts.

As for the company below, Calvin fully referred to the military education he had received.

On the basis of the "three-three system" principle, the company is divided into ten-man groups, including the company commander, adjutant, flag officer, guard (champion swordsman), and the company, and the remaining 90 people are divided into three groups. The squadron is composed of a five-man standard tactical squad as the most basic organization.

The overall structure of the warband is roughly like this, and Calvin is still figuring out the planning of the legion and the departments directly under the legion...

The teleportation hall arrived, and Calvin also broke away from his thoughts.Looking at the packed gray knights surrounding him, Calvin smiled knowingly.

This reorganization is not done once and for all, or it is just the beginning.

With the accumulation of battles and changes in the battlefield environment, similar or smaller-scale adjustments will continue.

For this kind of thing, Calvin has enough patience.

If he had to give an example, in his eyes, the construction and transformation of an army is like casting a sword:

Ten years of making a sword is too short, but the sword will shine for a hundred years...
