However, I suspect that the second objective is going to be immensely difficult. It will also be so stressful/dangerous that many (most?) MP personnel will not survive. They'll 'burn out' or die within a few years
While my game might have a larger project than most (50,000 men) I don't expect the small units (which are dispersed to guarantee a percentage survival) to work by themselves for very long. Units will meet up to form larger units quite early.

My game presumes 9 regions each with approximately 5 battalions (1000 men each) worth of units. Depending on the situation within a region, units can eventually fall back to 1-4 fixed locations within the region.

So my general plan is for many small units to become a few large units and then to be dispatched depending on the situation. While game play might suffer I think this has the greatest chance of success.
