Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Set off!"

Alan Janus handed the battle flag to the flag officer behind him and put the long sword in his hand behind his back.

The long sword given by the original body was a bit too large for him. Unless it was used as a two-handed sword, it would still be difficult for him to control it with his height of nearly 3 meters.

The first large group of arrays was disintegrating in an orderly manner. Ten combat companies with a full complement of 100 people, totaling a thousand people, began to march to the transmission array and flight deck through the corridors and rail trains in the ship according to their respective predetermined routes.

Calvin and the Honor Guard are also on the way to the teleportation array. He will lead two companies directly affiliated with the legion, together with the first company under Allen's command, as the first group to land.

Yes, the reorganized legion organization is not only different from the existing organization of the Gray Knights Chapter, but also completely different from all "Holy Code Organization" and its derived variants.

It is more like an intermediate product between the Legion of the Great Crusade era and the existing Chapter in order to adapt to the current situation of the Empire.

Considering that the Gray Knights do not have a true "recruit stage", and in Calvin's expectation, the battle group-level units are also in line with the current situation of the empire, and are the best organization that can be assembled in a short period of time and undertake a complete tactical system. .

Therefore, Calvin has extremely high tactical requirements for the "Chapter" unit. In his philosophy, this level of tactical organization has the same name as the Chapter in the "Holy Code", but its essence is completely on another level. .

First of all, from the beginning, the "chapter" under the Gray Knights Legion system was not a semi-reclamation garrison similar to a military district like the "Chapter Chapter".

They are a military organization that is supported by a complete legion system and does not need to consider logistics or soldier training at all, and is established with the purpose of participating in large-scale battles at any time.

Secondly, in terms of tactical positioning, in Calvin’s estimation, a standard battle group should be a unit capable of undertaking independent battlefield tasks;

Or a complete establishment that is capable of independently undertaking a campaign-level strategic goal in the direction of a star sector while its attached units are complete. (The various regiment-level units of the Tindalos Legion will also be officially split up with this reorganization.

They, as well as the Order of Omen in the direction of Krieg, will also form corresponding infantry and heavily armed units such as heavy armor, Knight Titans and even Titan Legions around these soon-to-be-formed battle groups. )

Therefore, in Calvin's expectation, the battle group's combat status was divided into a "tactical" status without attached troops, and a "complete" status with the support of the millions of mortal auxiliaries 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 Knight headquarters:

Among the ten companies under this "regiment-level organization", there is no organization similar to the reconnaissance company prepared by other Astartes Chapters for recruits, but ten actual combat companies.

Among these ten combat companies, except for one elite company that directly belongs to the battle group itself and also assumes command functions while fighting, the other nine companies must have more tactical functions.

According to different tactical divisions of labor, in addition to their own special operations and anti-subspace operations, they will also master conventional tactical skills such as armored operations, aviation vehicle operations, and fleet command.

It can be said that the Gray Knights Chapter in a tactical state will have more abundant troops than the original Chapter and will also have a faster response speed.

As for the latter, it is a concept on another level:

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

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

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

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

Among the total ten combat companies of the regiment, the first company is the company directly under the regiment.

All members of this company are officers or reserve officers. In addition to regular combat tasks, they are also responsible for the command of the battle group and the training of officers;

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

The second company is a veteran company, specially prepared for the Gray Knights who develop into individual soldiers.

The soldiers of this company will specialize in psychic power and battlefield killing skills. Their position in the battle group is not only the strongest combat force of the infantry, but also the cradle of training 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, coupled with equipment such as psychic penetration, hypnosis skills, and optical camouflage, to lead the battle group into large-scale battlefields.

The fourth company is a heavily armored company, and the armored units directly under the Chapter, such as heavy tanks and aviation vehicles in the atmosphere, are all under their control.

The fifth company is a pharmacist company, which is broken up during wartime and follows each combat unit to complete gene seed recovery and purification tasks.

The Sixth Company is the naval battle command company, responsible for the command of warships and the management of their large crews.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th companies are conventional infantry companies. They will form their own preferred fighting styles based on the positioning differences of their respective offensive and defensive tactics.

As for the final tenth company, it was set up as a relic custody 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 relics such as the Holy Fearless.

As for the company and below, Calvin made full reference to the military education he had received.

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

The overall structure of the Chapter is probably this, and Calvin is still exploring the planning of the Legion and the departments directly under the Legion...

The teleportation hall arrived, and Calvin was freed from his thoughts. Looking at the swarming Gray Knights surrounding him, Calvin smiled with a sense of gain.

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

As the war accumulates and the battlefield environment changes, adjustments of similar or smaller scale will continue.

Calvin had enough patience for this kind of thing.

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

Ten years to forge a sword is not enough, but a sword will shine brightly for a hundred years...
