So as I mentioned in the last thread, I am trying to build the Project, in anticipation of a campaign I am trying to get together in 2017. I dislike the canon Project because it appears to be the result of a bunch of different people working towards a bunch of different ideas, all with the idea of maximizing roleplaying fun - I am not at ALL opposed to the latter, but as the GM I consider that something I have to work using the structure of the Project and not the other way around.

As it currently stands (and this is still rough), the Project is broken into 7 Regions, each divided into 6 Areas, each with 5 Groups. There is one additional Area (Alaska) and one additional Group (Hawaii) directly under the National command. Without going into the details of facilities and administrative subcommands, here is the basic structure:

National Command (1):

• Total Personnel: 44,396
  
  Administrative Subcommands: MARS, Operations*, Recon, Recovery**, Science
  
  Facilities: Prime Base (1), Reserve Base (1), Hospitals (3, Science), Research Labs*** (7, Science), Air Base (3, Ops), Archives (3, Recovery), Comms Base (3, Ops), Factory (3, Ops), Logistics Base (3, Ops)
  
  Geographic Subcommands: Region (7), Area (1), Group (1)
  
  Direct-Report Teams: Phoenix (1)

Regional Commands (7):

• Total Personnel: 5,878
  
  Administrative Subcommands: MARS, Operations*, Recon, Recovery**, Science
  
  Facilities: Command Base (1), Hospital (1, Science), Air Base (1, Ops), Comms Base (1, Ops), Factory (1, Ops), Logistics Base (1, Ops), Sea Base (1, Ops)
  
  Geographic Subcommands: Area (6)
  
  Direct-Report Teams: None

Area Commands (43):

• Total Personnel: 876
  
  Administrative Subcommands: None, Area Commands are too small to warrant it.
  
  Facilities: Command Base (1), Comms Base (1, Ops), Logistics Base (1, Ops), Machine Shop (1, Ops), Maintenance Facility (1, Ops)
  
  Geographic Subcommands: Group (5)
  
  Direct-Report Teams:
  • Ops/Communications (1)
    Ops/Frozen Watch (1)
    Ops/Logistics (1)
    Recovery/Agriculture (1)
    Recovery/Civil Affairs (1)
    Recovery/Civil Engineering (1)
    Recovery/Combat Engineering (1)
    Recovery/Construction (1)
    Recovery/Decontamination (1)
    Recovery/Engineering (1)
    Recovery/Power Systems (1)
    Recovery/Water Systems (1)
    MARS (2)
    MARS/EOD (1)
    Recon (2)
    Recon/Intel (1)
    Science (1)
    Science/Medical (1)

Group Commands (216):

• Total Personnel: 131
  
  Administrative Subcommands: None, Group Commands are too small to warrant it.
  
  Facilities: None, Groups are supposed to be mobile.
  
  Geographic Subcommands: None, just Teams.
  
  Direct-Report Teams:
  • Ops/Communications (1)
    Ops/Logistics (1)
    Recovery/Agriculture (1)
    Recovery/Civil Engineering (1)
    Recovery/Construction (1)
    Recovery/Engineering (1)
    Recovery/Power Systems (1)
    Recovery/Water Systems (1)
    MARS (2)
    Recon (4)
    Science/Medical (1)

Any thoughts?
