RLA Order of Battle Proposal

[Brian O'Gara]

In my authority as Commander General of the Army, I would like to submit the following proposal for the composition of the Royal Luthorian Army. If we already have an order of battle, then oops, but I haven't seen one anywhere on the forum, so I'll go ahead with this.

--------------------------

15 Active Battalions
3 Reserve Battalions



King’s Own Rifles Regiment
• 1st Battalion – King Kakali Rifles – Light Infantry
• 2nd Battalion – O’Cullen Rfiles – Light Infantry
• 3rd Battalion – Clark Rifles – Light Infantry
• 4th Battalion – Royal Light Horse – Mechanized Infantry
• 5th Battalion – Prince Akoni Mounted Rifles – Mechanized Infantry
• 6th Battalion – Parachute Battalion – Airborne Infantry
• 7th Battalion – Marine Battalion – Amphibious Infantry
• 8th Battalion (Reserve) – King’s Own Fusiliers – Mechanized Infantry

King’s Own Cavalry Regiment
• A Squadron – King’s Own Cuirassiers – Armored Cavalry
• B Squadron – Royal Light Hussars – Light Armored
• C Squadron – King’s Dragoons – Formation Reconnaissance
• D Squadron (Reserve) – Royal Yeomanry – Formation Reconnaissance

Royal Artillery Corps
• RAC Battalion
o 1st Battery
o 2nd Battery
o 3rd Battery
o 4th Battery

Field Engineers Corps
• FEC Battalion
o 1st Troop
o 2nd Troop
o 3rd Troop
o 4th Troop

Royal Logistics Corps
• 1st Expeditionary Logistical Battalion
• 2nd Expeditionary Logistical Battalion
• 3rd Expeditionary Logistical Battalion (Reserve)

Ranger Wing
• A Troop – Ranger Assault Troop – Counter-terrorism/Elite Special Forces
• B Troop – Ranger Commando Troop East – Special Forces
• C Troop – Ranger Commando Troop West – Special Forces
• D Troop – Ranger Headquarters Troop
o Headquarters & Selection Platoon
o Marine Platoon
o Pathfinder Platoon
o Scout Sniper Platoon

The idea is that this would be the permanent administrative structure, but we could quickly configure expeditionary battle-groups when necessary, using an Infantry Battalion, from the King's Own Rifles, and an Expeditionary Logistical Battalion as the base and adding other support units as the mission requires. The Parachute and Marine Battalions, though part of the King's Own Rifles, are obviously much more extensively trained than normal infantry battalions and would probably be more often used as support/commando units. The battalions listed as reserve units are battalions that could be decommissioned without damaging the structure of the army, and may be depending on how many troops we lose next month.

The Ranger Wing would be our special operations force, roughly analogous to SAS or Delta Force. B and C Troops would be the primary units of the Wing, while A Troop would be the most elite special forces unit of our arsenal. D Troop would primarily be the headquarters and training cadre, but it would also contain several specialist platoons, which might operate independently, but would more likely work in conjunction with other parts of the Ranger Wing. The Ranger Scout Sniper Platoon would comprise of the best snipers in the Army and be used for single-man assassinations, etc. The Ranger Marine Platoon would specialize in littoral and amphibious special operations. The Pathfinder Platoon would be analogous to the US Air Force Combat Controllers and Tactical Air Control Parties, they would specialize in scouting/taking airports and landing strips and direct planes in support of ground forces.

General, this is great work! Keep it up.

[Kilikopela]

I think this is wonderful! I would like to point out that I got nothing named after me but that is ok.

Thank You and Humbly,

[Brian O'Gara]

Don't worry Kilikopela, I'll fit you in if/when the Army expands to the point that it can have an independently-operating unit of MPs,

[Rodhlann Pierce]

Ohh Ohh name something after me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hehe) *Shy grin*

[Kilikopela]

It is ok. I was joking and I am looking forward to the expansion of the military. The Best Defense Is A Good Offense!

Thank You and Humbly,
