Another infantry unit belonging to the flying army is the Skywing. They are actually the natural disasters of Commorragh. These Ada who have undergone high-intensity physical transformation have embraced the kindness of the Eternal Queen, abandoned their former cruel lifestyle, and turned to the towering They live a simple life on the giant tree, taking care of the birds they raise and the hanging gardens. But even so, they are still unable to work with the Eagle Warriors who are also on the path to the sky. In fact, they are still trapped due to their irreversible physical changes. Most of the Taoist warriors were repelled, so Soshyan placed them in the flying army.
However, the flying army does not include all the fighter units of the Royal Court, which involves a common topic in both Ada and humans.
To whom should the winged one belong?
Everyone in the empire knows that the ones with wings have been taken away by the navy. It's okay if the two sides can cooperate, but if the other side doesn't cooperate, then the Astra Militarum can only hug their Valkyrie and control their nine heads. The snake trembled under aerial fire from all types of enemies, and did its best to obey fate.
But things in the Empire often develop in the worst direction. Based on Soshyan's experience in leading troops for so many years, the number of times the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum can "cooperate well" is about the same as when it rains on Terra.
Since there was such an example, Soshyan definitely couldn't plunge into it, so he included the Nightwing, Razorwing, Phoenix Fighter, and Vampire Raider into the flying army, and added the Dark Star Fighter and Eagle Bomber. , Vampire Hunter bomber, and Void Raven bomber were assigned to the Navy.
It is obvious from this division that Soshyan believes that the troops fighting on the planet need to ensure air superiority more, while the navy needs more powerful bombers that can threaten ships. Moreover, the distinction between the Eldar fighter planes is not so clear. , they are not like human fighter planes, interceptors are extreme airport protectors, fighter planes are completely focused on air combat, bombers are as heavy as a gliding poison blade, Ada fighter planes are all equally high-speed and flexible, like a void The Crow is said to be a bomber, but its maneuverability and speed still crush most of the current aircraft in the galaxy. Perhaps only the Necrontyr's ghostly fighters that can also fly without inertia can compete with it, so strictly speaking, he He handed over most of the light fighters to the aviation army, and handed over the heavy fighters to the navy. Of course, he also handed over bombers like the Vampire Raider, which had the function of a transport aircraft, to the aviation army who needed them more.
In fact, in the anti-gravity Ada, it is not just fighters, motorcycles, tanks, and even infantry that can fly in the sky. Therefore, the main task of the flying army is not to support the ground troops, but to occupy the airspace. Destroy all flying things in the enemy. This is why they have to be independent. They have some linkage with the infantry, but it may not be too much.
However, when forming a battalion-level battle group, an air force brigade can be inserted into it as a temporary reinforcement. In the same way, an air force wing can be inserted into the brigade level.
As for the dragon army, this was originally unplanned. It was proposed by Soshyan when he discussed the original plan with Veronica. The reason is also very simple. If the dragon knights of the Savage Kingdom are roughly combined with those who are accustomed to the Ark Stuffing dogmatic soldiers together is like mixing Catachans and Modis. It will only be chaotic but will never be effective. Moreover, the dragon knights of the Barbarian Kingdom are all organized together by clan and family relationships. , which is also very different from the chain of command Soshyan hoped for. If they were forced to change it, I'm afraid it would be too much.
After Veronica said this, Suoshiyang thought about it, so he drew a separate dragon army.
The establishment of the Dragon Army is simple. Anyway, each vassal country has dispatched a thousand armed troops here in the royal court, and they are directly organized into two brigades with the designation of their respective kingdoms, and their internal command structure is based on their own habits. Shiyan just made some guiding adjustments.
5. Clarify military positions and ranks.
Soshyan had planned the military positions long ago. The Dragon Army basically didn't care about it. They just gave the commander of each brigade the position of "Dragon Cavalry General", and they would divide the following positions by themselves. It only needs to be reported to the Privy Council. In a sense, it is a very independent armed force. On the Flying Army side, squadron leaders and group captains are divided according to combat years and performance. Positions such as group captains are appointed by the Privy Council. It is also relatively simple. Only the infantry is still the most complicated.
The first is the squad commander. This is selected by the members of the squad before and during the battle. Strictly speaking, it is not a formal military position, but a temporary one.
In the true sense, "officers" must reach the company level, first of all, the basic companies of each battalion. Their companies are appointed by the battalion commander of the battalion to which they belong, and the two company deputy officers are selected by the company commander himself; non-basic officers The company's company is appointed by the Privy Council, and one company is also appointed by the Privy Council, and the other company is selected by the company itself.
At the battalion level, the chief and adjutant officers were nominated by the Privy Council and appointed by Soshyan himself. However, the name of the battalion commander was determined by Veronica. He chose the military position of the ancient empire and was called battalion commander. There are always three adjutants in a battalion, called battalion subordinates. Soshyan thought that it would not be a hindrance to the temple. The names were just different forms. He also knew that Veronica wanted to have a sense of "participation", so he accepted these two aide-de-camps. ancient name.
The name of the brigade commander is brigade commander. From the name, it can be seen that his command power and military power are heavy. Therefore, even the Privy Council cannot participate in the appointment. Only Soshyan can decide.
As for military rank, it is a question that Soshyan has thought about for a long time. First of all, the benefits of military rank are obvious. It can clarify the status of an individual in the overall military system, which is conducive to the establishment and efficient operation of the command system. There is no need to go into details. As a large-scale organized military force, it is undoubtedly very practical to rely on a strict hierarchical military rank system to establish a chain of command, but this does not mean that all armed forces must be like this, such as Asta Special operations group.
As one of the core armed forces of the Empire, the Astartes Chapter does not have the strict military rank system of the Astra Militarum. Everyone relies on their own positions to operate in the chain of command. Sergeants are more often A kind of nickname for veterans, which is different from being a non-commissioned officer in the Astra Militarum (actually it’s a question of English). Although Astartes also have honorary titles, they are completely tied to their positions, such as Master of the Armory, then He must be a master of forging. He would not let a certain company commander wear the title of Master of the Armory. However, the colonel of the Astra Militarum is not necessarily the regiment commander. He may also be a chief officer of logistics, or an administrative civilian. someone.
