Chapter 57: And So The Story Goes
The first reform done in the territory was of course to it's army.
The outdated system used by the kingdom needs to go, so like the original Roman Empire I restricted command in their style with all new ranks.
Squad Leader leading a total squad of 10 men
Centurions leading 10 Squad Leaders for a total of 100 men
Cohorts who lead 5 Centurions for a total of 500 men
Primary Cohots who led 2 Cohorts for 1,000 men
Lastly, the Legion Commander leads 5 Primary Cohorts for a total legion size of 5,000 men
Within this structure, we had divided ranks into 4 total legions.
The First and Second legions were formed of our Core troops soon to be Elites, led by The Commander and Vice Commanders.
The third and fourth legions were regular army members but after their initial training, they'd resume 1/2 days of working the field while the other half was to continue their training to ensure their overall skill didn't decline.
And finally, we had the border reserve force who were tenement farmers granted land near the Visigoth border, these were former soldiers, who could be called up to defend the border until the main army could respond to any attacks that might come our way.
