Iteration 1 of the HCB for the KR Div.
Headquarters Command
Company & Headquarters Command Troop:
Current
HHC/HHT and H&S consist of 80 to 110 or even 270 personnel.
It
might better to revamp the system as it is largely based on a old
Prussian/French system.
Appears
to seem sluggish and involves allot of paper work, fine tuning might
be in order.
Speeding
up decision making and flow of information up and down.
Dividing
the initial staff in to 2 major groups
Group
1 will be directly involves with decision making with group 2 has a
support role.
Group
1 tagged as E(Essential), Group 2 tagged as S(Support)
Then
number roles per group with a identical number that is unique per
group.
Essential(E):
Operations(1), Intelligence(2), Logistics(3) and Signals(4).
Support(S):
Administration(1), Planning(2), Training(3), PR(4) and Finance(5).
E
reports directly to the CO speeding up decision making process. S
reports Directly to the XO who then can either report to the CO or
accumulate information/data to report later at a more convenient
time.
When
operations are under way a CO has no need on information on payroll
or training.
He
does need to be aware of troop movement(friendly or hostile),
sufficient supply, casualties etc at a moments notice to ensure
proper strategy(s) and deployment of resources.
However
the amount of work(paperwork, logistics etc) incrementally increases
as you go higher up the unit ladder.
You
can adapt the system to accommodate this, use HCT, HCC and HCB.
HCB:
Headquarters Command Battalion for units Division sized and up.
HCC:
Headquarters Command Company for units at Battalion level and up.
HCT:
Headquarters Command Troop for units of Company size.
These
3 command units can then actively share and conduct command and
support operations.
All
supporting each others effort in conducting Command and Control.
For
instance every unit will need medical support, logistics, signals
etc.
However
there is no need for a Finance role in a Company sized unit, this
should be done Brigade and up, finance should be handled by a single
department and not various personnel scattered.
You
will end up with a less personnel intensive system what is far more
effective with less paper work making the whole system more cost
effective.
But
as these units are not the combat related units they do not have to
have the exact numbers there combat counter parts would have, or can
be augmented with other units.
Have
a basic model of units with the option to augment with auxiliary
units, modular system.
Simple
example, a dental unit will augment a HCT for a week giving the
combat company a standard dental and then move on, this can be seen
as move to the next unit, be detached back to the HCB or back to the
medical battalion.
HCB:
Operations, Intelligence, Logistics, Signals, Administration,
Planning, Training, PR and Finance.
HCC:
Operations, Intelligence, Logistics, Signals, Administration and
Training *
HCT:
Operations, Intelligence, Logistics and Signals. *
*
optional augmentation by support units.
Lettering
branches based on there founding in history.
A
= Army, B = Navy, C = Marines, D = Air force, J = Joint multiple
services and S = Staff Roles above major.
Forward
command post, various country's should not matter as it is a minor
detail.
And
does NOT reflect overall battle strategy, you need to know friendly,
hostile and neutral.
Then
use the normal icons to reflect unit id, armor, airborne, infantry,
mechanized etc.
Making
it possible to look at a map(digital or analogue)and get a overview
in a single glance.
