Chapter 358 Reorganization

"Let's go!"

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

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

The array of the first large group was disassembled in an orderly manner. Ten full-strength combat companies with a total of 1,000 people began to move to the transmission array and flight deck through the corridors and the rail trains in the ship according to their respective predetermined routes.

Galvin and the Honor Guard were also in the team heading to the transmission array. He would lead two companies directly under the legion and the first company under Allen as the first landing vanguard force.

Yes, the reorganized legion organization is different from the existing organization of the Grey Knights, and is also very different from all the "holy book organization" and its derivative variants.

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

Considering that the Grey Knights do not have a real "recruit stage", and in Calvin's expectation, the regiment-level unit is also in line with the current situation of the Empire, and can be assembled in a short time and undertake the best organization of the complete tactical system.

Therefore, Calvin has extremely high tactical requirements for the "recruitment" unit. In his concept, this level of tactical organization is similar to the regiment in the "Scripture" except that its name is similar to the regiment in the "Scripture", and its essence is completely different.

First of all, the "recruitment" under the Grey Knights Legion system has never been a semi-garrison-style garrison similar to the "Scripture" regiment" in the military district from the beginning.

They are military organizations established with the purpose of joining large-scale battles at any time, with the support of a complete legion system, without considering logistics and troop training.

Secondly, in terms of tactical positioning, a standard regiment should be a unit capable of undertaking independent battlefield tasks in Calvin's expectation;

or a complete organization capable of independently undertaking a campaign-level strategic goal in a star region with complete attached units. (The various regimental units of the Tindalos Legion will also be officially split up with this reorganization.

They and the Omen Order in the direction of Krieg will also establish corresponding infantry and heavy armor, Knight Titans and even Titan Legions around these upcoming warbands.)

So in Calvin's expectation, the combat status of the warband is divided into a "tactical" state without attached troops, and a "complete" state with the support of the million mortal auxiliary troops of the Tindalos Legion and the Titan Legion of the Omen Order.

The former is simply the armed force of the Grey Knights headquarters:

In the ten companies under this "regimental organization", there is no organization similar to the reconnaissance company prepared by other Astartes warbands for recruits, but ten real combat companies.

And in addition to an elite company directly under the warband itself, which has to take on the command function while fighting, the other nine companies have more tactical functions.

They will follow different tactical divisions, and in addition to their own special operations and anti-subspace operations, they will master conventional tactical skills such as armored operations, aircraft operations, and fleet command.

It can be said that the Grey Knights in a tactical state will have more abundant troops than the original regiment, and a faster response speed.

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

With the battlefield cover and tactical cover of the million-strong Tindalos Legion, plus the support of the Knight Titans, the Titan Legion, and the Intelligent Legion under the Order of the Omen.

The Grey Knights have essentially become a tactical force qualified to participate in the "Apocalypse"-level battlefield.

And with the presence of mechanical arks in their fleet, they are fully capable of independently supporting their own logistics, so that without losing their core strength, they can become a strategic pillar that can fight behind enemy lines in a certain battlefield in the future.

In summary, Calvin's final reorganization plan is as follows:

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

All members of this company are officers or reserve officers. In addition to conventional combat missions, they also have to undertake the command of the regiment and the training of officers;

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

Among them, the second company is the veteran company, which is specially prepared for the Grey Knights who are developing in the direction of individual soldiers.

The soldiers of this company will specialize in psychic power and battlefield killing skills. Their position in the regiment is not only the strongest combat power 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, in conjunction with psychic infiltration, hypnosis skills, and optical camouflage equipment, to guide the regiment into large-scale battlefields.

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

The fifth company is the pharmacist company. During wartime, the organization is disbanded and follows each combat unit to complete the task of gene seed recovery and purification.

The 6th Company is the naval command company, responsible for the command of warships and the management of their large crews.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th Companies are regular infantry companies. They will form their own fighting styles according to their respective offensive and defensive tactics.

As for the last tenth company, it was set up as a company for the custody of holy relics. In addition to serving as the main force of ground combat with the first three companies, they are also responsible for the maintenance of weapons and holy relics such as the Holy Dreadnought.

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

Based on the principle of "three-three system", the company was divided into a ten-man group directly under the company, including the company commander, adjutant, flag officer, guard (champion swordsman), and the remaining ninety people were divided into three squadrons, with a standard tactical team of five people as the most basic organizational structure.

This is roughly the overall structure of the war group, and Calvin is still exploring the planning of the legion and the legion's direct departments...

The teleportation hall arrived, and Calvin also broke away from his thoughts. Looking at the Grey Knights who surrounded him, Calvin smiled as if he had gained something.

This reorganization is not a one-time solution, or it is just the beginning.

With the accumulation of war and the change of battlefield environment, similar or smaller-scale adjustments will continue.

Calvin has enough patience for this kind of thing.

If I must give an example, then in his eyes, the construction and transformation of a unit is like forging a sword:

Ten years of forging a sword is still too short, and the sword will shine for a hundred years...
