Distribution of MP Teams
The default level of the MP is the medium level with 10,000 to 50,000 personnel. Given a few assumptions: 1), each team averages six members, 2), the contiguous states are about 3,000,000 square miles of land area, and 3), PB has about 600 personnel and PB2 has about 400 personnel we can determine an average area per team. Starting with the minimum of 10,000 MP personnel, we can make this determination.
10,000 – 1,000 (PB & PB2) = 9,000 team personnel
9,000 / 6 = 1,500 facilities, boltholes, bases
3,000,000 / 1,500 = 2,000 square miles per team
Square root of 2,000 = 44.721 miles
Each square is 44 miles by 44 miles. Each square has a six-person team assigned to it. The grid does not conform to the map due to the type of projection. The grid shown has 420 squares or teams (2,520 personnel) and represents 28% of the total number of MP teams.
Now, let us change the size from 10,000 members to 50,000 members where PB has 3,000 and PB2 has 2,000 personnel respectively. In this version each square has 30 MP personnel (15,120 total for the area presented).
Now, the question is "How big is your Morrow Project?"
