――――――
As soon as Chao Leizhen walked on the front foot, a tall figure walked into the base on the back foot, and after nodding to Chao Leizhen who passed by, he walked towards Cai Ruichen on the sofa.
"Report to the commander, Lieutenant General Zhao Long of the Red Guard Corps has come to return to his life."
Cai Ruichen raised his head, looked at the one-meter-eight man in front of him, smiled slightly, patted the sofa cushion beside him, and said, "Come and sit down and talk." ”
"Yes."
A standard standing salute, Zhao Long, who was dressed in lieutenant general's regular clothes, sat straight beside Cai Ruichen.
Zhao Long: PLA Army Hero, military rank Lieutenant General. (Book friend's real-name cameo)
"How's it going?" Cai Ruichen pushed the fruit on the coffee table towards Zhao Long a little and asked.
"Report to the commander that a total of 560 officers and men of the first battalion of the Red Police Army have been formally formed, all weapons and equipment have been distributed, and the whole battalion has been organized into three combat companies, plus a battalion headquarters company and a number of platoon-level support units. In order to adapt to the multi-arm coordination of the troops in the future, the battalion was formed in a flexible formation composite method with stacked blocks.
In addition, there are a total of 32 staff officers in the whole army, who independently form a temporary staff team to be responsible for the formation and training of the troops. ”
Hearing Cai Ruichen's inquiry, Zhao Long got up from the sofa as soon as possible and reported seriously.
"The scale of one battalion in three days is very fast, so the training must not be left behind."
From the beginning of the large-scale conscription of the regular Red Guard Army three days ago to the present, the first full-fledged battalion-level combat unit has been successfully formed in three days.
This is naturally due to the already very good military quality of the regular Red Police Army. There is also this Zhao Long in front of him. As a lieutenant general in the Red Guard Corps. Very capable indeed.
When Cai Ruichen proposed that the future Red Police Corps would be based on battalion-level troops, forming a unit like a stacked block, which could be flexibly combined with other arms to form a larger combat unit.
In the future, the main force of the Red Police Corps will not have a regiment-level organization, and only some special units will retain regiment-level combat units.
For example, logistics regiments or boat-bridge troops, as well as some units that carry out special operations.
Otherwise, all regular combat units on the ground will be based on the battalion level, and then flexibly organized and established according to the needs of the battlefield environment.
The current 1st battalion. Just a simple light infantry battalion, and only the beginning.
In the future, when armored vehicles and tanks appear one after another, they will be formed into larger infantry battalions, armored battalions, and tank battalions.
Division-level combat units are to be formed with nine or twelve battalions, and brigade-level headquarters may also be set up when necessary.
Then, according to the composition of the armed forces, logistics units and some other necessary arms should be flexibly deployed, such as boat-bridge, air defense, communications, electronic warfare, radar, intelligence analysis, and so on.
The purpose of this establishment is to enable the Red Police Corps to better meet the needs of future combat, because after all, in the face of future information-based operations, the fixed composition is not enough, and there are shortcomings that are inflexible.
Before. There are only mobilized soldiers, and Cai Ruichen did not take out this set. Now that there are regular army units, it is time to begin preparations for the future model of troops.
Of course, this does not mean that there will be no need for mobilization in the future, and mobilization is indeed not suitable for carrying out high-intensity war tasks compared with the regular army, but it is also very suitable for serving as a logistics unit or a second-line unit.
Therefore, in the future, Cai Ruichen will also begin to reorganize the mobilized soldiers who were recruited before, so that the structure of the entire army will begin to enter the regularization and specialization.
And in the future, the security personnel in the future security company will also be served by special forces, responsible for the security of the base and the surrounding area.
In addition, Cai Ruichen also plans to form a sniper unit with a scale of battalion or even brigade level.
Don't think he's messing around, but combine the future situation in Iraq and the situation in the wasteland.
It is absolutely necessary to form a sniper force that can be flexible and excited.
After all, when dealing with those second-level mutants in the wasteland world, when fighting in large forces, a group of professional snipers can exert much more lethality than those heavy weapons.
And here in the Middle East, snipers are the most prevalent place, and even the Iraqi government army has formed two sniper brigades, and the Islamic State and the Kurdish forces also have their own independent sniper units, all of which have reached the scale of brigades.
For this reason, whether it is to better deal with the mutants in the wasteland world, or to face the enemies on the battlefield in Iraq in the future.
It is indeed necessary to form a flexible and mobile sniper force, after all, the best way to counter snipers is to use snipers.
As for improving the staff system, it is an absolutely indispensable existence in an army, so all officers with staff skills will be gathered by Cai Ruichen.
These staff officers will be members of the staff of various units in the future.
However, such an establishment will make each battalion have different personnel, the minimum number is naturally the tank battalion, and the light infantry battalion is the battalion that has just been formed, which is about 560 people.
In the future, the number of people in the Jibu battalion will be the largest, almost close to 800 people, and these are just ordinary battalions.
If it had to be strengthened to the extent that the battalion had to be strengthened, it would have been at least two or four more companies, and the number would be more than 1,000, and even a reinforced infantry battalion might reach 1,500 men.
There are also future air assault battalions, the so-called air assault battalions are generally carried out by transport helicopters for rapid deployment mobile operations, and the number of people in a general assault battalion will be close to 700 people.
Even in the Marine Corps, sometimes a reinforced battalion would be close to 1,800 men.
Moreover, this kind of grouping does not bring about the shortcomings of a bloated structure, and the more personnel represent the combination of more arms and the combat mode and adaptation to the battlefield environment are more comprehensive.
Therefore, the future Red Police Corps will not all have the same establishment, and the most important thing is to look at the combat tasks to be carried out, and the fundamental needs to be flexibly formed.
Divisions, brigades, battalions, companies, platoons, squads, and beyond that, there is no larger regular establishment, only the establishment of group armies that have been temporarily organized, or the establishment of larger theaters.
This depends on the scale and intensity of the war, and once it is really necessary to organize the group army, it means that the scale of the battle has reached a national level.
With such a flexible establishment, Cai Ruichen naturally hopes that the troops can give full play to their flexible combat capabilities.
Therefore, in terms of the rationing of weapons, they are also very rich, and the combination of light and heavy firepower is effective. This also makes a battalion not only light in structure, but also quite powerful in firepower. (To be continued......)
