Community Action Detail and Revolutionary Efforts and Support


A clear and defined chain of command in any organization is paramount. In order to have hope in the organization that has been established, one must be able to adhere to established orders. There must be a clear and present head by and from which all orders must proceed. The head cannot dictate all that is approved or disapproved in any revolutionary organization. If the enemy gains knowledge that the head is the primary control of the organization, then the head will be cut and the revolution rendered inoperable. The head must answer to a board that both appoints and opposes any orders that may come from the head.

Rank is given based on your ability to demonstrate your knowledge of certain lessons... coupled with your time in... plus your work....

rank should not be given.. in fact, it should be the most difficult achievement otherwise, infiltrators, hypocrites, and those with ill-intent will infect the ranks.......

This is my suggestion only.. every movement should have their own by-laws... i will "declassify" a set of by-laws and make them available later today..

it may or may not be what you're asking, but it is another component of the CoC....

[manifestdestiny]

Thanks brotha, you just save me a days work

[BlackBodyGuard]

i am a servant of the people... we should all want to network like this.... i hope your squad can utilize this as well as the by-laws....

[TureBandele]

Good info bruh

Dear Brother:
What you actually have is a General Staff of sorts. General's are appropriate on the Strategic Level, but not on the Tactical Level. Moreover, Chain of Command is wholly dependent on the type of Military Organization that is put together.

In terms of guerrilla warfare, you want small teams that can move quickly, aviod detection, and strike decisively. Eight(8)-fourteen(14) men.

[Mordecai_7]

If you are going to be military, you need a rank structure. Since you appear to be Muslim I will try to put it in that context:

x3 FOI Divisions: x3 Major Generals, commanding. (These could be considered as "Tactical Generals.")
x1 FOI Division, (Reserve): Major General
x9 Regiments: Colonel, commanding
x3 Regiments, (Reserve): Colonel, commanding

Operational Generals are essentially corps level commanders. What you might call an Expeditionary Force Commander, or a Field Force Commander. You could actually take what you have and incorporate it into the above structure. The P/T training would fall under Recruitment & Training Command, (Basic Training). Other training is done at the unit level, e.g., company or within the command. An Administrative General would be an"Adjutant General." He is basically a "staff secretary" to the commandant and handles all administrative work for the commandant's office routed up from the G-1. A "tactical general' would also be any general officer commanding a tactical unit, e.g., major generals in the USMC command "expeditionary brigades." They are tactical commanders/generals. But colonels normally command regimental and brigade level commands. The Expeditionary Force should be organized as an Air Wing, Division & Force Service-Support Unit.

[BlackBodyGuard]

i like the structure that was just posted.. the one i wrote was customized for the program that was to be instituted. and i only offer it as a baseline for anyone wanting to build on it.

the detailed one you posted is nice and is a great beginning for the same reasons as mine.

[Mordecai_7]

Every nation has to have a defence establishment. Your structure would be appropriate to a nation with limited manpower, around 100,000. The one I posted is geared more toward 350,000. It all depends on need and resources, material & human.
