{{main|Structure of the Imperial Legion}}The Imperial Legion is administered through the Department of the Legion within the [[Ministry of Defense (Caphiria)|Ministry of Defense]]. As an arm of the executive government, the Legion is entirely at the behest of the [[Imperator]], who can declare war against a foreign power without parliamentary permission, plan the Legion's military strategy - in both general and specific maneuvers, issue direct orders to a soldier in any branch of the armed forces or an officer of any rank, force the launch of military satellites and the construction of forts, walls, and other defensive structures, and appoint or dismiss any military commander at-will. A consequence of this much power is the personal responsibility for the successes and failures of Caphiria's military.

The core of the Imperial Legion is known as the ''exercitus'', and contains 5 million soldiers organized across 900 Legions. Each legion contains approximately 5,000 soldiers.  Beyond these 900 legions, there exists the unique 901st legion ([[Legio CMI]]) that reports directly to the Imperator, operating independently of the main army structure. Legions carry sequential numbers, but the number does not correlate directly to the prestige or function of a legion. [[List of individual Legions|Legio DLV]] (Legion 555), colloquially known as ''cisternis'' (the pits), typically receives newer recruits, while [[List of individual Legions|Legio XIII]] (Legion 13) boasts a storied history, renowned for its fierce reputation.

=== Identification system ===
With over 5 million personnel, the Legionnaire Identification System (''Identificatio Legionarii'') plays a pivotal role in ensuring clarity, efficiency, and practicality. Instituted to effectively manage and track every individual soldier within the vast military apparatus, the system also embraces the rich traditions and influences, like the ''prestare il nome'' privilege. There are 5 components:
The Legionnaire Identification System (''Identificatio Legionarii'') is a comprehensive system designed to manage and track every individual soldier within the military. This system is crucial for maintaining clarity and efficiency due to the vast size of the Legion, which consists of over 5 million personnel. It incorporates traditional aspects and privileges, such as the ''prestare il nome'', while ensuring practical management of the soldiers. The system includes various components like individual designation, name and rank designation, legion number, cohort designation, and century designation.
 
One of the unique aspects of the Imperial Legion's organization is the privilege of ''prestare il nome'', a form of military sponsorship available exclusively to [[Estate (Caphiria)|Imperial Estates]]. Under this privilege, Imperial Estates can sponsor specific military projects, infrastructure, or entire Legionary units, lending their name and emblem to them. For instance, the reserve legion, Legio CMLIV, is directly sponsored by the [[Castrillón Estate]], and the Legion's number, 954, commemorates the year of the Estate's foundation. This sponsorship has led to its informal title, ''Legionis Castrillónis'', and the Estate's coat of arms prominently features on the legion's uniforms, banners, and equipment. On an even grander scale, the [[Răcini Estate]] has played a pivotal role in the sponsorship of components of Caphiria's nuclear arsenal. If applicable, the sponsoring estate's name will be part of the identifier, going after the legion number.
 
There are 5 main components to the Legionnaire Identification System:
 
# Personal Identifier (PI): A unique alphanumeric code assigned to each legionnaire upon enlistment. This includes the initials of the soldier, enlistment year, and a unique serial number.
# Rank and Grade Code (RGC): A code that indicates the legionnaire's rank within the Legion. The RGC code represents the specific rank, role, or title of a soldier, as well as their class and pay grade information.
# Legion number (LN): This number represents the legion to which the soldier is assigned, such as XIII or DLV. Each of the 900 legions has a distinct Latinic numeral and associated history.
# Cohort Code (CC): A numeric or alphanumeric code that identifies the 10 cohorts within the legion. The letter indicates the cohort's sequential position within the legion, and the number specifies the cohort itself. The first cohort consists of experienced legionaries, while the legionaries in the tenth cohort are less experienced.
# Century Code (CYC): This code further identifies the 5 centuries within the cohort. Century codes start with CT''-,'' followed by 1-5.


# Legion Number: This represents the legion to which a soldier is assigned. Each of the 900 legions has its distinct numeric identifier, such as DLV or XIII.
Additionally, there are 2 supplemental components:
# Cohort Number: Within each legion, there are ten cohorts. The cohort number, typically denoted in Latin numerals, indicates which cohort the soldier is a part of. For instance, V would represent the fifth cohort. The first cohort consisted of experienced legionaries, while the legionaries in the tenth cohort are less experienced.
# Century Number: Further diving into the structure, each cohort is divided into five centuries. The century number, also in Latin numerals, is incorporated into the ID. E.g., III stands for the third century.
# Individual Number: Each soldier within their century is assigned a unique three-digit number ranging from 001 to 099. This ensures individual distinction even within the same century.
# Role/Title: The soldier's specific rank, role, or title concludes the identifier, encapsulating roles such as Centurion, Medic, or Engineer.
One of the unique aspects of the Imperial Legion's organization is the privilege of ''prestare il nome'', a form of military sponsorship available exclusively to [[Estate (Caphiria)|Imperial Estates]]. Under this privilege, Imperial Estates can sponsor specific military projects, infrastructure, or entire Legionary units, lending their name and emblem to them. For instance, the reserve legion, Legio CMLIV, is directly sponsored by the [[Castrillón Estate]], and the Legion's number, 954, commemorates the year of the Estate's foundation. This sponsorship has led to its informal title, ''Legionis Castrillónis'', and the Estate's coat of arms prominently features on the legion's uniforms, banners, and equipment. On an even grander scale, the [[Răcini Estate]] has played a pivotal role in the sponsorship of components of Caphiria's nuclear arsenal.


Consequently, an optional 6th component exists for the ''prestare il nome'' privilege; if applicable, the sponsoring estate's name will be part of the identifier, going after the legion number. As an example consider this IL: <big>CMLIV-Castrillón-V-III-007-Centurion</big>.
# Sponsorship Marker (SM): If the legionnaire is part of a unit under the prestare il nome privilege, this marker indicates the sponsoring estate, such as "Castrillón" for Legio CMLIV.
# Additional Skill Identifier (ASI): For legionnaires who have specialized training or skills, or who are in a specialized component, an additional modifier is included to represent this qualification.
Each legionnaire has a composite code that combines these elements, providing a comprehensive and unique identifier. The complete code is as follows: [PI]-[RC]-[LN]-[CC]-[CYC]-[SM]-[ASI]. However, the identification system is designed to provide all necessary information for quick identification and assignment. The full IL code is used primarily for official documentation and in scenarios where detailed identification is necessary, such as in personnel management, deployment, or for security purposes. For everyday use, soldiers are typically identified by a shorter version of the IL code, which includes the most relevant components based on the context. For example, in routine military operations within their legion, soldiers might be identified just by their PI, RGC, and legion. This system not only streamlines the process of managing a vast and complex military organization but also maintains the rich traditions of the Imperial Legion, respecting both its historical legacy and its modern operational requirements. The careful integration of sponsorship markers and skill identifiers further demonstrates the Legion's commitment to acknowledging the unique contributions and skills of each soldier, enhancing both operational efficiency and esprit de corps among the troops


The legionnaire is: from Legio CMLIV, in a legion/cohort sponsored by the Castrillón Estate, is in the fifth cohort and within that cohort, they are in the third century, where they happen to be legionnaire 7 and holding the rank of Centurion.
As an example, the full IL code for Brentin Pecolani, a soldier with the rank of ''Optio'' (Lieutenant) who is in the Second Century within the fifth cohort of Legion 954, with a specialization in reconnaissance would be displayed as <code>BP-0922-8437-O3-CMLIV-C5-CT2-Castrillón-REC</code>. The shorter and more commonly-used IL code for him would be BP-09228437-CMLIV.

While the word ''legionary'' is synonymous with any soldier in the Caphirian military, it specifically applies to a single infantry soldier who has signed their service contract and taken their oath of service. Students attending a [[Military service academy (Caphiria)|military service academy]] (MSA) are given the rank of ''tiro'' - literally cadet. Upon graduation, most graduates are commissioned as ''Legionary Grade I''. If an individual does not attend a MSA, or decides to enlist in Imperial Legion another way, they will be given with the rank of ''conscribere'' or recruit. There is a mandatory 22-week basic training that culminates in a final basic readiness evaluation. Upon completion of basic training, recruits must pass a series of physical and endurance based tests designed to condition for combat actions. Following their basic and advanced training at the individual level, soldiers may choose to continue their training and apply for an "additional skill identifier" (ASI).

The smallest formation of the Imperial Legion is the ''decaredum'', consisting of 10 legionaries and equivalent to a squad. ''Decaredum'' are led by a Staff Sergeant (''Tesserarius'') and his second-in-command the Sergeant (''Decurion'').

''Decaredum'' are led by a Staff Sergeant (''Tesserarius'') and his second-in-command the Sergeant (''Decurion''). Ten ''decaredum'' collect together into a single century (''centuria''). Consisting of approximately 100 legionaries, a century is the smallest military unit. A century is led by the prestigious ''Centurion'' (Captain) and his two second-in-commands, ''Optiones'' (Lieutenants).There are approximately 23 additional officers and support staff, and may be organized for special purposes.

Five centuries are grouped to form a ''cohort'', considered the standard tactical military unit of the Imperial Legion. The 500-man unit is led by the ''Angusticlavii'' or Commandant. Once carrier of his cohort's symbol, ''Angusticlavii'' came to denote a high military rank in the 18th century. Formal duties of a Commandant are choosing the Cohort's coat of arms, creating a motto and generally distinguishing it among the Imperium's many legions. The second-in-command to the Commandant is the ''Signiferii'' or Field Captain, the senior-most centurion within the cohort.

The rank of General, or ''Legatus i''s a crucial operational rank in the Imperial Legion's hierarchy. They often command individual legions or specialized units within the divisions overseen by Major Generals. Their focus is much more on the tactical level, ensuring that the overarching strategy set by the higher-ups gets executed on the ground effectively and efficiently. Generals have the unique honor of being the lowest office which is permitted to formulate new strategic goals. Although it is the most junior rank within the "commander" category, it is also the most accessible field rank. Since they are often the nearest strategists to combat, they usually exercise more direct control than other commanding ranks. For that reason, the rank of General is seen as the apex of a military career. Given the vastness and diversity of the Imperium, Generals often find themselves in vastly different theaters of operations. As a result, many Generals have areas of expertise – from naval landings and sieges to rapid response and guerrilla warfare. Their experiences on the field shape their tactics and approach, making each General a unique asset to the Imperial Legion. In public perception, Generals are celebrated as heroes, and are often the subject of tales and songs, with their deeds in battle becoming the stuff of legend in Caphirian culture.

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.
