Battlefield Promotions

[Webstral]

While running errands, I gave some more thought to the reorganization of brigade-sized divisions and battlefield commissions. Company-sized battalions might be commanded by captains or majors, which leaves XO and staff slots open for newly commissioned lieutenants to learn the culture and trade of being an officer. Of course, a company-sized battalion is going to have a very small staff. The XO slot might be the only one requiring an officer in a 5th ID-type battalion in 2000.
