Introduction
All Staff members are required to adhere to the standard operating procedure of listed minimums and maximums for sections/platoons/companies unit sizes.
Chapter 1 - Unit Size SOP
1. If the Unit falls below the minimum, it must be merged if possible in order to maintain overall parent unit health.
2. If the Unit rises above the listed maximum, it will be split as soon as it is feasible, healthy, and possible in order to allow a good subordinate to leader ratio.
3. The Trooper numbers listed below include Section Leaders, but not Platoon or Company staff.
4. General staff reserves the right to intervene at their discretion, but barring exceptional circumstances will typically do so only when a unit is at or below critical.
