Introduction

Chapter 1 - Process
1. If the Unit falls below the minimum, it must be merged if possible in order to maintain overall 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.
