Imperial Legion (Caphiria): Difference between revisions

Line 67:

Below the Field Generals are the 20 Generals (''Legatus legionis'') responsible for ten legions each. A General may specialize in specific elements of the strategy for modern warfare. Some notable Generals are experts in amphibious warfare, coordination with aircraft, intelligence management, and climate control. While the public praises centurions and legion commanders, Generals have the sole honor of leading a military Triumph through Venceia. For this reason, Imperators and other members of the administrative leadership have taken on the title. Even the presence of a General demands reverence and respect from civilians and politicians as much as from inferior officers. It has long been standard practice for a General to command Caphirian forces during a specific battle where different branches of the military work together. This tended to make them the highest-ranked officers on the field. However, most modern Generals operate far from the front line.

=== Personnel ===

Besides basic infantry and their commanding officers, the Legion employs hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a logistic or supportive military role. These form the specialized components of the Legion.

Field Psychologists (''Aenator'') are the professionals responsible for the mental well-being of Legionaries, veterans, and their families. Like traditional psychologists, these professionals diagnose and treat various mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Unlike traditional psychologists, however, Army psychologists are trained to deal specifically with the unique needs of members of the armed forces. ''Aenatores'' train in monitoring the mental states of soldiers for signs of trauma, stress, depression, and intentions to mutiny or desert. Field psychologists are also available on domestic and foreign military bases to help treat soldiers experiencing mental and emotional problems. When soldiers are home on domestic bases, psychologists might counsel them on various issues, from minor stress to substance abuse. Soldiers who are away from home on foreign grounds, however, may suffer from more severe mental anguish.

Field Doctors (''Medici Legiones'') are active duty physicians representing all the specialties and subspecialties of civilian medicine. They may be assigned to fixed military medical facilities, deployable combat units, or military medical research and development duties. They are considered fully deployable soldiers and can heal in the middle of combat and between battles. One of the few military posts fillable by a non-citizen, legionary medics are famous for often being [[Daxian]]. The Daxian reputation as doctors pushed the Senate to open the road for them to serve in the military despite the public disdain for employing foreigners in the army. A non-combat specialty branch of the Legion called the Medical Corps exists to train and deploy field doctors, offering over 41 areas of concentration.

Artillery (''ballista'') is operated by the vital ''Ballistarii'' (artillerymen). They are grouped into regiments (''Manipuli''), individually commanded by an artillery officer (''Duplicarius''). The number of regiments assigned to a legion - and the composition of those regiments - is an area of flexibility for the Caphiran army. Regular legionaries are universally trained in the operation of mortars. Every ''contubernium'' has one of its own for field use, but this does little compared to the effectiveness of dedicated artillerymen and heavy artillery.

==Operations==

Below General - and the highest active-duty rank that is in the field is Major Commander (''Legatus Praeses''). A Major Commander has the unique honor of being the lowest office which is permitted to formulate new strategic goals. Since they are often the nearest strategists to combat, they usually exercise more direct control than other commanding ranks. Major Commanders control a single legion and oversee the specialized components, such as artillery and logistic or support personnel. A Commander (''Legatus'') is in charge of a single legion, and although it is the most junior rank within the "commander" category, it is also the most accessible field rank. For that reason, a Commander is seen as the apex of a military career.
