Orders:Army Directive 1803-02: Difference between revisions

The “Chapter” element of the Royal Manticoran Army is the Installation, ranging from small bivouacs to mighty Forts. This is the equivalent of the vessels in the naval branches of TRMN. The Regimental Combat Team contains multiple installations worth of Army personnel, much in the same way a Task Group or Task Force would in the naval services. The Planetary and Theater commands are analogous to larger fleet formations. At this time, Army staffing levels have not activated the Planetary or Theater command levels, and functionally the RCT serves as the Army’s “numbered fleets” for award and authority purposes.

* The RCT may submit art for unit badges & symbols that represent the RCT as a whole to the High Command for approval.

++ These echelons are NOT chapters in and of themselves.<br>

+ O-2 if a Home Guard unit.

Home Guard units follow the same basic organizational structure as the rest of the RMA, though for purposes of the “Ratio Rule” (see below) both RMA Soldiers and Civilians count as RMA personnel, as the Home Guard represents the Citizen Soldiers of the Star Kingdom. Home Guard units are each ceremonially commanded by a peer, and that peer always oppoints one officer to command the Home Guard unit. Replace the top billet at the Bivouac or Barracks element with an O-2 for Home Guard units. All RMA and Civilian members of the Home Guard are authorized to have RMA ranks followed by (HG) to denote Home Guard status, likewise their Installation Names are followed by (HG) such as “First Lieutenant(HG) Dennis Sustare, of Her Majesty’s Sandgate Castle(HG).”

If, at any time, the Chapter should contain less RMA personnel than any other Service/Division assigned to the Chapter, then the Chapter’s membership shall be required to vote on the status of the Chapter as a whole. A vote of 2/3rds majority in favor of remaining an RMA Chapter shall be required to remain an RMA Chapter and append the designation of “Joint Operating Base” (JOB) to their Chapter nomenclature. Failure to achieve a 2/3rds majority will require the dissolution of the Chapter as an RMA unit and require all members to reform into their separate divisional entities as per standing directives appropriate to their respective memberships. No Joint Operating Base may be comprised of more than 40% non-RMA members, whether those members come from the civilian or other military branches of the organization. Regardless of branch, members of an RMA Chapter fall under the Chapter’s Command Team for the purposes of member awards, promotions and assignments as per the applicable service directives for their particular Division.

RCT Commander then receive reports from their assigned Installations within the RCT on the 15th of each month, which is then submitted to ODCSOPS on the 20th of each month. All non-assigned Installations shall submit reports on the 20th of each month to the ODCSOPS.
