Exactly, then I can expand it into a regular size force as such... Command Force:
Commander: Deals with planning and intellienge, may have single platoon specially trained for field intelligence directly under command.
Executive Officer: (Lt. Commander) Deals with logistics and support structure aided by a platoon reserved for support & logicistics, answers to Commander.
Field Commander (Senor Staff Sergeant) Incharge of commanding 4 ot 5 platoons in the field and/or the training of new recruits, answers to Commander... Combat Force:
Platoon Commander: (Staff Sergeant)Commands soldiers via squad leaders, Answers to Field Commander...
Platoon Officer: (Luetenant) Deals with platoon logistics, Answers to XO...
Squad Leader: (Senor Sergeant) Commands two 4-man or 5-man fire teams, via
Team Leader: (Sergeant) commands a 4 to 5 man fire team made up of 2-man buddy teams...
Buddy Teams: (as before with Jr. Sergeants and/or Corporals) in charge.
Technically given a significant rise in popular support each cell slowly expand into such a force. Consisting of a Commander, XO & Field Commander at the command level (3 people) & 4 platoon sized elements which would have over lapping combat & support roles; (36 to 46 per platoon; 144 to 184) which would remain well hidden until required. If a sudden increase in combat forces were possible and could be done in realitive secrecy such dispersed force could deal a great deal more damage. If the Command Group is lost each platoon would effectively become independant splinter cells and carry on the fight.
Ideally the Command Group would be self-sufficent, and the each platoon organized independantly of the rest. Each platoon leader would answer directly to the Field Commander alone and have no access to the Commander or XO. At which point the whole force can operate as both a guerrilla force independantly or as a regular military force when required and would at full strength each cell could be organized into a company of 279 personnel over time. With each unit having this ability to expand as such 10 cells couls easily become 2,790 over a matter of years and still form additional smaller guerrilla cells...
