Babel Armed Military Force - 'BAMF'

The Babel Armed Military Force or BAMF is the military arm of the bts. The BAMF military shares a single branch of navy and marines combined under a naval rank structure and answer to the Lord Admiral of the BAMF.

A higher rank usually entails an increased degree of training, efficiency, leadership capability, and lethality when it comes to Enlisted personnel.

About BAMF

Commanded overall by Lord Admiral (Placeholder), Marines fill the combat roles in the largest numbers while officers command not only them but also its young void-navy and fill most command roles. Both the navy and marines share the same dress uniforms but for obvious reasons marines often wear fatigues and combat oriented uniforms while on duty.

For obvious reasons a marine captain, sharing a similar rank with the captain of a ship does not have the expertise or knowledge to command a vessel. There is, despite the eventual split in duties when reaching command rank, the expectation that all enlisted men and women are combat trained and able to perform infantry duties should the need arise.

Organization

Bamf is broken down into a very traditional line organization that ranges from a Corps of 50,000 marines down to a fireteam of just 3-4 marines.

The size of a group and its leadership often looks like1):

Command Type Strength Commander Notes
Corps 50,000 +/- Major Contains 2-divisions
Division 25,000 +/- Captain Contains 4-5 brigades
Brigade 5,000 +/- 1st Lieutenant Contains 3-8 battalions
Battalion 300-1,000 2nd Lieutenant Contains 10-15 companys
Company 100-250 Sergeant Major/ Command Sergeant Contains 2-4 platoons
Platoon 50-90 Master Sergeant/ Staff Sergeant Contains +/- 5-9 squads
Squad 10-15 Master Corporal / Sergeant Contains 3-4 fireteams
Fireteam 3-5 Lance Corporal Average team size

For larger engagements involving multiple corps a Corps Command is established with the either the seinor commander or appointed Admiral in command of the multiple corps. Corps, however, are made to be mostly autonomous in most regards; Operating on individual objective and in sync with other corps.

There are X main types of Marine Corps types:

Type Purpose Notes
