As soon as Chao Leizhen left, a tall and straight figure walked into the base. After passing by Chao Leizhen, he nodded in greeting and walked towards Cai Ruichen who was on the sofa.

"Report to the commander, Lieutenant General Zhao Long of the Red Police Corps has come to report back."

Cai Ruichen raised his head, looked at the 1.8 meter tall man in front of him, smiled slightly, patted the sofa cushion beside him, and said, "Come and sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Standing at attention and saluting standardly, Zhao Long, dressed in lieutenant general's uniform, sat upright beside Cai Ruichen.

Zhao Long: Hero of the PLA Army, with the rank of lieutenant general. (Book friend's real name guest appearance)

"How is things going?" Cai Ruichen asked, pushing the fruit on the tea table towards Zhao Long a little.

"Reporting to the commander, a total of 560 officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the Red Police Army have been formally formed, and all weapons and equipment have been distributed. The whole battalion has been organized into three combat companies, plus a battalion headquarters company and multiple platoon-level support units. .In order to adapt to the multi-arms coordination of the army in the future, the battalion was formed in a flexible formation of building blocks.

In addition, there are a total of 32 staff officers in the entire army, who independently form a temporary staff team to be responsible for the formation and training of troops. "

Hearing Cai Ruichen's inquiry, Zhao Long immediately got up from the sofa and reported seriously.

"The scale of a battalion in three days is very fast, so the training must not be left behind."

From the large-scale recruitment of the Red Police regular army three days ago to the present, the first formal battalion-level combat force has been successfully formed in three days.

This is naturally due to the already good military quality of the Red Police regular army. And there is Zhao Long in front of him. Lieutenant General of the Red Police Corps. It is indeed very capable.

When Cai Ruichen proposed that the future Red Police Corps will be based on battalion-level troops and form troops like stacked blocks, which can be flexibly combined with other arms to form larger combat troops.

In the future, the main force of the Red Police Corps will not have a regiment-level organization, and only some special units will retain regiment-level combat troops.

For example, the logistics regiment or the pontoon unit,

And some units that perform special operations.

Otherwise, all regular combat troops on the ground will be based on the battalion level, and then flexibly organized according to the environmental needs of the battlefield.

The current 1st Battalion. It's just a simple light infantry battalion, and it's just the beginning.

In the future, after armored vehicles and tanks appear one after another, they will be formed into larger-scale machine battalions, armored battalions, and tank battalions.

A division-level combat force can be formed with nine or twelve battalions, and brigade-level headquarters can also be set up if necessary.

Then, according to the composition of the arms, flexibly allocate logistics troops and some other necessary arms, such as pontoon bridge, air defense, communication, electronic warfare, radar, intelligence analysis, etc.

This organization is to enable the Red Police Corps to better adapt to future combat needs. After all, in the face of future information warfare, the structure is not fixed enough, and there are shortcomings of inflexibility.

Before. Only the mobilization of soldiers, Cai Ruichen did not take this out. Now that there are regular army units, it is time to start preparing for the future army mode.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there will be no need for conscripts in the future. Compared with the regular army, conscripts are indeed not suitable for high-intensity war missions, but they are also very suitable for serving as logistics troops or second-line troops.

So in the next period of time, Cai Ruichen will also start to reorganize the mobilized soldiers that were conscripted before, so that the structure of the entire army will begin to be standardized and professionalized.

And in the future, the security personnel in the future security company will also be served by special forces, responsible for the security of the base and its surroundings.

In addition, Cai Ruichen also plans to form a sniper unit that can reach the battalion level or even the brigade level.

Don't think he is messing around, but combine the future situation in Iraq and the situation in the wasteland world.

It is absolutely necessary to form a sniper unit that can be flexible and excited.

After all, when dealing with those second-level mutants in the wasteland world, when a large force is fighting, a group of professional snipers can play a much more effective lethality than those heavy weapons.

And here in the Middle East, snipers are the most prevalent place. Even the Iraqi government army has formed two sniper brigades. The Islamic State and the Kurdish armed forces also have their own independent sniper troops, all of which have reached the brigade level. .

For this reason, whether it is to better deal with the mutants in the wasteland world, or to face the enemies on the Iraqi battlefield in the future.

It is indeed necessary to form a flexible and mobile sniper unit. After all, the best way to counter snipers is to use snipers.

As for perfecting the staff system, it is absolutely indispensable for an army, so any officers who have the ability to serve as staff will be gathered by Cai Ruichen.

This group of staff members will be the staff members of each army in the future.

However, this kind of organization will make the personnel of each battalion different. Naturally, the tank battalion has the least number of people, and the light infantry battalion is the battalion just formed, with about 560 people.

In the future, the machine battalion will have the largest number of people, almost close to 800 people, and these are just ordinary battalions.

If it is necessary to strengthen the battalion, at least two to four companies will be incorporated, and the number will exceed 1,000 people. Even a strengthened machine battalion may reach 1,500 people.

There is also the future air assault battalion. The so-called air assault battalion usually uses transport helicopters for rapid deployment and mobile operations. Generally, the number of an assault battalion will be close to 700 people.

Even if it is the Marine Corps, sometimes a reinforced battalion may be close to 1,800 people.

Moreover, this kind of organization does not bring about the disadvantage of a bloated structure. More personnel means that more arms are combined, and the combat methods and adaptation to the battlefield environment are more comprehensive.

Therefore, the Red Police Corps in the future will not all have the same organization. The most important thing is to look at the combat missions to be carried out, and they basically need to be formed flexibly.

Divisions, brigades, battalions, companies, platoons, squads, and above that, there are no larger conventional formations, only temporarily formed group army formations, or larger theater formations.

This depends on the scale and intensity of the war. Once it is really necessary to form a group army, it means that the scale of the battle has reached a national level.

With such a flexible organization, Cai Ruichen naturally hopes that the troops can display flexible combat capabilities.

Therefore, the distribution of weapons is also very rich, with an effective combination of light and heavy firepower. This also makes a battalion of troops not only light in structure, but also quite powerful in firepower. (To be continued..)
