# Structural Reforms

## Regimental Enlistment
Many RTs are constantly failing because of the lack of Militias that have discord. In order to change this we will change the rank of Enlistment to be given out to everyone who is in the main discord.

Militias will be given a handbook and in there it will be explained that they need to join the discord and write a special command *(example, !rankup)*, and then they will be ranked Enlistment.

In this handbook there will also be a few basic commands but trainers should not presume Enlistment know these commands, Enlistments will still need to be trained properly. If trainers start assuming the Enlistment know these commands then these tips will be removed from the handbook. These tips will just make it so hopefully half of the Enlistments know some of the commands, thus saving the trainer's time.

To comply with ROBLOX TOS we will not put the discord link in directly but tell people to go to "Social Links", which might confuse a few people and also block out everyone under 13 to join the discord. This can sadly not be avoided or worked around, we have to work with ROBLOX' TOS.

**TL;DR, free promo to Enlistment for being in the discord, RTs are now for Enlistment+**

## Recruitment Trainings (RTs)
RTs should be focussed on drilling the men to know the basic commands *(these commands will be specified later in the new handbook)*. This means you won't have to drill the men to know parade commands like Support Arms for example.

Instead trainers should focus their attention on drilling the basic commands until they know them out of their head. This means going over the same commands multiple times in random order until everyone gets everything correct on 2 consecutive tries.

RTs will now also include some of the basic Military Law *(which laws that should be taught will be specified later in the handbook)*, these commands should be taught in a professional matter by explaining the laws, giving some examples of what would break the law and then at the end doing a quick quiz to make sure they paid attention.

In order to speed the RT up, trainees will be required to join the regimental discord and join the Training Comms channel, from which the NCO has permission to speak and the trainees do not.

**TL;DR, less drills but more thorough, Military law will also be taught and trainees are forced into a VC**

## Discharges
In the past regiments used to exile members in order to get rid of them. Exiles have now been renamed to discharges and will have a new system. There will be 2 types of discharges, honorable and dishonorable. A honorable discharge is when a member gets kicked out of the regiment while keeping his rank, a dishonorable discharge is when a member gets kicked out and gets demoted to Lance Corporal.

This means that if an officer gets a dishonorable discharge he's immediately decommissioned and gets demoted to Lance Corporal. If a NCO gets dishonorably discharged he gets demoted to Lance Corporal. If a enlisted member gets dishonorably discharged, he simply keeps his rank. Dishonorable discharges should be given to immature / insolent / insubordinate / indolent / incompetent / lazy / inactive / ... members. This system will make sure other regiments don't get terrible NCOs when they recruit a NCO. If an officer leaves his regiment without prior notice it's considered a dishonorable discharge. When an officer gets a dishonorable discharge then the HICOM should contact HQ about his decommission.

A honorable discharge is now given to officers requesting to leave their regiment or whenever you have to get rid of someone for lesser issues. For example if a NCO doesn't fit in with the rest of the NCO corps and people don't like him then it might be best to remove him from the regiment. If a NCO / enlisted member leaves his regiment himself it's considered a honorable discharge.

**TL;DR, exiles have been renamed to (dis)honorable discharge depending on the situation.**

## HICOM decommission powers
HICOM will have the ability to decommission officers and place them at any NCO / enlisted rank they want. They can do this by contacting HQ. This should only be done when a officer voluntarily wishes to retire and wants to serve as a NCO / enlisted because he doesn't think being an officer is fun / fits him and much rather would like to serve as a lower ranked member.

**TL;DR, HICOM can decommission people on request.**

## Officer Tests
Officer tests will now only be able to be done by Master Sergeants, once they have completed their OT they will be ranked Ensign and will be probationary officers and be given a test, as outlined in the [Ensign reform](#Ensign).

**TL;DR, MSGT+ to become Ensign.**

## Corporals
Corporals will now be able to host without supervision. However, in order to become a Corporal the Lance Corporal should host a training supervised by an officer. After this he will be allowed to host unsupervised for his regiment, however COs will be able to require supervision for their regiment at their own discretion.

Corporals also need to have a working microphone in order to give commands during raids / trainings. If you don't have one all you can do is listen and serve.

**TL;DR, no more required supervision and need a mic**

## Staff Sergeants
Staff Sergeants will no longer have a second NCO test, there will now only be a single NCO test at the rank of Corporal.

**TL;DR, no more second NCO test**

## Officer Ranks
Officer ranks are now tied directly to the amount of NCOs they control below them. While Lieutenants are waiting for a leadership position they will basically act like privileged NCOs with officer / NCO duties. This change is made to make a basis on how to rank officers and to be more historically accurate. This will also create a much stronger Chain of Command. When a NCO knows a specific Captain is responsible for him then he will contact that Captain first before going straight to the CO. New Captains should be chosen based on the most seniority and the most senior Lieutenant in that regiment should be picked to become the new Captain. However COs will be allowed to override this rule and pick their own Captains.

Captains should have 5 NCOs under his control and he will deal with their questions directly and make sure that any paperwork such as logging trainings is dealt with. A Captain can have 3 NCOs under his command when another Captain goes over the 6 NCO limit. The Major *(or a higher rank if there is no Major)* is responsible for managing the Captains' NCOs. This will also allow the Captain to take care of his NCOs and form more personal tighter bonds with them. It also allows for the Captain to take their current irl situation into account and to keep track of how long they have served in his regiment. If there are less than 3 NCOs in the regiment then there will be no Captain. The NCOs together with their Captain are a **Platoon**.

Majors are responsible for the Captains, he should assign them NCOs to directly control and when required can instruct the Captains to hand over their paperwork so he can compile a report for the CO. A Major should control 2 to 5 Captains. The Captains get assigned to the Major by the Lieutenant Colonel *(Or the Colonel if there is no Lieutenant Colonel)*. If there are less than 2 Captains then there will be no Majors in the regiment. The Major together with his Captains and all their subordinates are a **Company**. A Major should strive to have 4 Captains under his control.

Lieutenant Colonels are responsible for 2 to 7 Majors but should strive to be responsible for 4 Majors. The Lieutenant Colonel helps split huge regiments into bite sized chunks. A Lieutenant Colonel, his Majors and his subordinates are a **Battalion**. This will help larger regiments split up the work and allow them to expand more easily. A Lieutenant Colonel is considered part of HICOM and gets all the Colonel's powers to help manage his Battalion.

Colonels are responsible for an entire regiment, there should be one Colonel per regiment and he is directly responsible for managing his regiment and reports directly to HQ.

Brigadier Generals are responsible for a **Brigade** which have regiments grouped based on function. Every Brigadier General should have 2-5 regiments under his control.

The Major General is responsible for the whole Continental **Army** and gets to choose his Brigadier Generals to help him run the group.

**TL;DR:**
1. **Ensign** - Pass your OT.
2. **Lieutenant** - Be accepted by the CO to become a permanent officer.
3. **Captain** - Have 3-6 NCOs under your control.
4. **Major** - Have 2-5 Captains under your control.
5. **Lieutenant Colonel** - Have 2-7 Majors under your control.
6. **Colonel** - Get chosen by HQ to lead a regiment.
7. **Brigadier General** - Have 2-5 regiments under your control.
8. **Major General** - Control the entire Continental Army.

**NOTE: Regiments need to stick to the recommended amount of subordinates, only MP will be allowed to use the minimums for their officer ranking system.**

## New RT system
Captains have to log all the trainings and report those to their Major, who will compile the reports from his subordinates and pass them on to the Lieutenant Colonel, who will look at the Captains who have the most RTs and trainings done. This will give the Lieutenant Colonels and easy way to pick who should be the next Major. This means that Captains are incentivised to get their NCOs to host and this means that the NCOs can't just not host without anyone noticing.

Officers get promotions based on competence and getting their NCOs to do work, also hosting more RTs leads to more members which leads to more NCOs which then leads to more officer spots. And having more officer spots allows for promotions in the officer corps. So all officers are incentivised to do their job.

Combining this with the fact that trainings will be more easy to host without having to go through checking if everyone has discord and then going through all the mundane commands, instead only having to invite the trainees to the regimental discord, getting them in a VC and then drill them a select set of commands, which is a lot more fun and easy, I believe that we don't need RT requirements anymore but that RTs will naturally come from reforms and the new regimental structure.

**TL;DR, hosting requirements abolished**
