2nd RSAB Command Structure

From Drew's Battletech Wiki

The 2nd RSAB command structure consists of a military structure and a governing structure.

Military Structure

The military command structure of the 2nd RSAB is straight forward.

The unit is commanded by a single individual with the rank of Field Marshal. In any military matter involving 2nd RSAB or Reserve units, the Field Marshal has the first and final authority.

The Field Marshal has 4 direct reports:

  • The commander of 2nd RSAB Army units
  • The commander of 2nd RSAB Naval units
  • The Director of the Intelligence Corps
  • The commander of the 2nd RSAB Reserves, who has a rank of Lt. Field Marshal

The Field Marshal also has the following adjutants:

  • The commander of the 2nd RSAB Support Corps
  • The commander of the 2nd RSAB Combat Engineering Corps
  • The commander of the 2nd RSAB Independent Aerospace units
  • The commander of the Experimental Combat Brigade
  • The commander of the Dark Horse units

In addition, the Field Marshal will have their own command and administrative staff.

This constitutes the full High Command.

The 2nd RSAB Reserves have a similar command structure.

The organization of the main 2nd RSAB command is broken down into the following commands:

  • Army Command
  • Naval Command
  • Intelligence Command
  • Support Command

The Support Command is broken down as follows:

  • Quartermaster Command
  • Judge Advocate General Command
  • Training and Deployment Command
  • Administrative Command
  • Communications Command
  • Engineering Command

Note that the Reserves Command is left out, while the Research and Development Command is a sub-command of the Quartermaster Command. Finally, the Civilian Liaison command is also omitted because it is not strictly considered a military command.
