The Alpha Division

Overview

The Alpha Division (A) is a Division of the Leonidas Corps of the Bruskarian Army. As the first of the Corps' 24 Divisions, Alpha Division serves as a conventional offensive formation and specializes primarily in Rifle Infantry.

Its name is derived from Alpha (A), the first letter of the Greek alphabet, in accordance with the Leonidas Corps' Greek-based system of military designation.

Current Personnel Strength: 0 / 23,040 authorized positions filled. 

Role

Alpha Division is primarily composed of Rifle Infantry and is intended to provide the Leonidas Corps with a large conventional infantry force. Unlike Divisions built around more specialized forms of combat, Alpha Division emphasizes general-purpose infantry operations and serves as a broadly applicable offensive force.

Its personnel are trained and equipped primarily for conventional ground combat, allowing the Division to operate effectively across a variety of environments and circumstances.

Organization

At full strength, Alpha Division consists of 23,040 soldiers organized according to the standard Bruskarian military grouping hierarchy.

The Division contains 4 Regiments, each consisting of 6 Battalions. Each Battalion contains 6 Companies, each Company contains 10 Platoons, and each Platoon contains 4 Squads of 4 soldiers.

This gives Alpha Division a total of:

4 Regiments → 24 Battalions → 144 Companies → 1,440 Platoons → 5,760 Squads → 23,040 Soldiers

As throughout the Leonidas Corps, its subordinate formations follow the Corps' Ancient Greek naming conventions.
