[ALT]- Ranger Muster

[Matt]

This is what we have so far...

We'll be raising a group somewhere between 60-106 individuals. I need officers and NCOs first, preferably with military experence. NPCs can fill some of this billets. Then we can muster in the grunts, who well be younger guys who may or may not have prior experence.

It's on the job training!!

60-106 individuals
awful lot of people being drug from the fields, unless these platoons will be driving our morass of humanity north towards food and sea I'm again it.

If the one platoon is forward guard of the main host on the drive, and 2nd platoon is rearguard around the apartment sign me up.

See the discussion in the Sign up for job thread. 60 is the bare min. without working both men and horses to death.

[Flocculencio]

So are we going to rotate the line platoons in and out of the field alternately?

If we get a third platoon that'll be great because then we can have one in the field, one conducting local security and one on light duties/standby at all times.

[SionEwig]

I will still support the 106 number. What I think some are not understanding is that the 106 number will be the eventual total. There is simply no way to come up with that many qualified people in this short amount of time. We will be lucky to have that many by 1 year down the road.

Also, thought of something you left off the T/O Matt, medics.

How about tasking 1 person per squad for basic medic training and the 2 QM NCOs for more advanced training. This will add no more people to the Rangers total, will give them needed medical capacity in the field, and will add 11 more medical trained people to the overall group.

[GBW]

Well, I'm in. But I've said that already. :)

I have some limited military experience.

Yeah, I noticed it last night when I posted the T/O, but the plan is pretty much as you state. I also have alternative T/Os if we get less then 106..


Sion, I know you're a combat engineer, but do you fell yourself more valuable to the community as a Ranger or as a engineer?

We should leave Sion as an CE say as part of the milita staff but detached to the Rangers as needed after all we Rangers will have several different missions and the community is going to need engineers. Also the Main Base defense (When we get there) will be mainly the Militas job.

That's what I was thinking. Give him a commission in the militia, since their more defensive oriented, and well require earthworks.

To what extent GBW?

[Flocculencio]

Has anyone considered dragooning Luakel as Company Orderly? He can also double up as Drummer Boy :D

Frank is also a Farmer and is the son that has taken over the farm from me .
After he retired .

Doug spent 4 years in ROTC in collage and then 2 years active duty as a Medical Administration officer and then 4 years res .in that duty ,
He is now a lawer .

Alright, Frank might be better off in the militia then. Does Doug have any experence commanding troops?

And the Grandkids, any older the 16 and willing to serve?

As much fun as being in the Rangers would be (I must have been hit on the head I can't believe I said that :D ), I think I would be of more overall use working in my specality - mining and some civil engineering. Now if we had a D-9 Cat it would be a different story. I do think I will end up spending a bunch of time with the Rangers anyway.

[Flocculencio]

OK I'm back. Flew in to Singapore this morning and now my internet problems are sorted out.

Just to check up on developments regarding the Rangers that have been going on while I was gone- correct me if I've made any mistakes.

Days 4-5: Recruiting has been going on

Day 6: I and GBW will be leading a Ranger escort of Othniel's surveying expedition.

[Doctor What]

Thought we were leaving on Day 7 for that?

[Flocculencio]

Whoops- my bad :D Still catching up with stuff. And is it you, Psycho and Othniel whom we will be escorting?

[Doctor What]

Whoops- my bad :D Still catching up with stuff. And is it you, Psycho and Othniel whom we will be escorting?
Psycho will be coordinating the hunt--at the moment, it looks like me, Leo and Othniel will be in the escort group. We're still hashing out details but it looks like we might stay at Ahmick's village for a day or two, then we move on together to the survey site.

[Flocculencio]

Roger that, tango yankee :D

[Doctor What]

Roger that, tango yankee :D
Make that canuck....;)

[Flocculencio]

In the Singapore Army we used 'Tango yankee' as an alternative to 'thank you'. I assume we're bringing Ahmick along?

[Doctor What]

Yup. I really don't want him seeing the hunt nor the aftermath. Seeing that would push him completely over the edge and we can probably kiss our chances of ever making friends with the locals goodbye.

Besides--he's spent at least 4 days with us--I would imagine he's eager to report some info back to Helaku.

[Ghost 88]

:D :D :D hey Doc ifyou live north of the Potomic or Ohio rivers you a Yankee:D :D :D :D

I agree completely. While I served in Sinai in the middle 80's that was the arrangement the platoons where divided.

One platoon on field duty, one platoon in local security, one platoon in training/reaction force; all that for a week. Them they rotate on their assigments.

I guess I will be busy doing paperwork, duty rosters, PT formations, drill, etc.
What type of force was decided this Rangers will be? What will be the primary weapon? If blackpowder, we need to drill in volley drill for example and the use of close combat weapons IMO. If we have the bolt action ones, the training changes to marksmenship, followed by hit and run tactics. Just my opinion but the CO could have soem other ideas.

[Matt]

I wasn't but my civilian job being an accountant I guess I serve better as your Top. Ready for duty! Sir!


Okay then... we've mustered in the NCOs... The Plt Sgts, and Squad Leaders. These guys are all vets(albeit not all former combat arms, can't have everything.) Spent the day BZOing your rifles(I'm rethinking the Lee-Enfield in favor of the Garand) and getting your feet on the ground. Privates muster in tomorrow. Let your NCOs handle the training, but they need some rudementry guidance. So some sort of training schedule is needed. We have til Othniel and Co. get back. Do what you need Top, I got some officers to do likewise with. No questions asked.

We're also going to need to come up with some sort of UCMJ... to handle things like desertion and such.

The Rangers well be a hybrid police/military force, who's primary responsiblity is patrolling the frontier, protecting supply routes and settlements, providing training to the militia, working in law enforcement, and if the need arisings, used as a mounted infantry force in a pitched battle.

The Hawkin's are for when the .30-06 rounds run out. I'm thinking of reworking what firearms I'm taking, but marksmen training well be important. When we change over to black powder, the weapon are breech loading rifles, so they're really not important for volley fire. Besides which, the fire team well be our basic unit in the field, so a volley would be really ineffective anyways. Definatly hit and run tactics.


Although I think close combat well be important; I have bayonetts for all.

[SionEwig]

Stick with the rechambered SMLEs damnit. The rate of fire issue is not relavent.

Actually it isnt the rate of fire, it's the difficulty of working the bolt on horse back that I'm worried about.

I see. Very busy for a while. Still I think the three platoon arrangment works as Flocc and I say. Do you agree?

I also agree some kind of USMJ need to be created but the problem is the idleness and no sense of group yet. Too harsh and we could create discontent. Too light and discipline problems could be rampant.

Besides which, the fire team well be our basic unit in the field, so a volley would be really ineffective anyways. Definatly hit and run tactics.

Could Henrys perform the same function? They are better fit for a mounted unit and the seven round tube magazine give us some impressive firepower in blackpowder, but of course the virtues of keeping your weapon clean need to be drilled, a lot.

Also IMO the Henry makes a better fit for the small size of the units and give better covering fire in the hit and run tactics.

Although I think close combat well be important; I have bayonetts for all

IMO we need to drill in the use of swords also, especially the Roman one. Nice stabbing one and Roman combat tactics could be useful to know for future use.

[SionEwig]

The US Army had no roblem using both the Krag Jorgenson and the M1903 Springfields from horseback. Besides, it won't be all that easy reloading a Garand on horse and you can top off a bolt action, can't do that with a Garand. Also, you will also need to take lots and lots of clips for the Garands, cause don't forget, it ejects them when it's empty.

[Matt]

I see. Very busy for a while. Still I think the three platoon arrangment works as Flocc and I say. Do you agree?

Agreed, the T/O on the first page has 3 platoons now. Any less and we'll work both men and horses to death

I also agree some kind of USMJ need to be created but the problem is the idleness and no sense of group yet. Too harsh and we could create discontent. Too light and discipline problems could be rampant.

Desertion is what I'm worried about. And insubordination. I suppose that's what the mini-boot is for; giving a little sense of that. The Ranger's well be working as a whole company during the move, so I think that well be very important in establishing identity.

How complex is the level-action mechinism? That's why I choose the Hawkins, since these weapons have to last a long time.

Agreed. Those, thankfully, can be made within a couple years. Sabres well be at Berkeley inside on of my party's wagons. For mounted use of course.

Yes you can top off a Grand rifle I've done it more than once . Plus you can reload it from a striper clip .

By that time didn't US Cav fight dismounted?

Moot point, since we'll do our share dismounted anyways...

The clips would be a mega pain in the ass. You win.

[Ward]

If you want a good hv weapon that can be fired from horse back take the BAR . There is a BAR that was set up to be fired from horse back . There was only 1500 made but there out there . My Father brought one home from the war . He was a CAv officer and retired in 1956 with the last Cav Regs was disbanded .

Could I suggest pistols and swords for mounted work? The US Cavalry was never a true Cavalry force but a Mounted Inf. force they almost always dismounted to fight ( the ACW being the only time were they charged mounted)

[perdedor99]

Aye-Aye, Sir! Will produce rosters as soon as the boot camp is over.

Agree in both accounts. We need to create a sense of unit, the real reason soldiers perform their duties, for their buddies. Also how long the mini-boot will last? I guess we could start with a light PT session :rolleyes: on the first day followed with marksmenship to weed the crappy shooters from the passable ones. All units need clerks and cooks, you know.:rolleyes:

How complex is the level-action mechinism? That's why I choose the Hawkins, since these weapons have to last a long time.

You're are maybe right. The level-action mechanism will not last as long as the Hawkins but it will last a long time if properly maintained. In the Civil War the main cause of malfunction was the clog the black powder did to the weapon. They need to be clean. Extremely clean.

Agreed. Those, thankfully, can be made within a couple years. Sabres well be at Berkeley inside on of my party's wagons. For mounted use of course.

Well, something to keep the troops busy. And while the use of swords will not be as necessary for a while, eventually we will need them IMO.

They're well be extra recruits. I imagine alot of the youngins well see the Rangers as a way off the field. If they don't measure up, give em to the militia ;)

The mini-boot well be no where near long enough. We've got 22 days. The Air Force takes longer then that :rolleyes:

Maybe a few then, but until these troops prove disiplined enough, we won't issue them.

What type of rifle are you going to use to teach rifle safety and marksmen ship . I hope its with the .22 if so the Wards are willing to loan there .22 for you to train on and 2,000 rounds to use.

Also my son Frank will be willing to work the range for you . He did a tour as a Drill Sgt and taught markmenship .

Yes he should of joined the Rangers full time but as he said 20 years is enough . And he left his wife and kids home enough over the years .

If you set up a Ranger detacment that stays in camp he would join that .
Also he is willing to help out in training . He still runs 5 miles every day when the weather is good . Rember he retired at 38 as an E-7 with the Ranges .
He was up for E-8 but retired on a hardship retirment to run the farm for the Family .

Yes, .22s well be used for initial marksmen training. .30-06 ammo is too valuable to waste away.

Also my son Frank will be willing to work the range for you . He did a tour as a Drill Sgt and taught markmenship .

I'd appreicate his help with training.

The militia can use him on a more regular basis, but as a liason I think he would work great

I had imagened him as Xo or SGM of the militia

[Ward]

Matt We could use a full time Rangeer force just in the camp that is made up of some of the older men . They could work part time as Rangers being on 2 days a week so the full time Rangers get some time off .

[Psychomeltdown]

I had imagened him as Xo or SGM of the militia
Yeah, Frank sounds like the man to help lead the Militia.

If not that. Sheriff of the Camp.

I'm against any use of the Rangers as a law enforcement arm.

[perdedor99]

I had imagened him as Xo or SGM of the militia
I can see him as the man in charge for the militia and second in command overall after the Ranger commander.

[Matt]

Here's some mundane things I've thought of while complying the Ranger gear....

What uniforms should we go for? Cammies? O.D.s? What do you guys think?

[Norbert]

Two to four sets O.D, the rest Woodland BDU. Get the ones that are 'rip-stop', or even better the silk BDUs. The silk ones will not tear and will even prevent cuts in the fabric, very hard to get thorns and sharpened wood to penetrate it. Very durable, especially for the long term use.

Anyway, cost is no object!

[Matt]

They make silk BDUs?!

You might want to also think about some Desert pattern. A lot of the area around us fits that color scheme fairly well.

Actually I think Woodland MARPAT would work nicely in the region, it's got alot of browns in it vs the old school Woodlands.

[Norbert]

Sure they do. Ask War about the ones he had in 'Nam.

[SionEwig]

Actually I think Woodland MARPAT would work nicely in the region, it's got alot of browns in it vs the old school Woodlands.

Sounds fine to me. I haven't really kept up with all the new patterns, but then consider that OD fatigues were still the issue when I was in and we were still changing over to the first style Woodland BDUs when I got out.

[Flocculencio]

Pardon my ignorance but what's an OD uniform?

[SionEwig]

Pardon my ignorance but what's an OD uniform?

Short for Olive Drab, that basic green color that everything in the army was painted, LOL. The style of standard US Army field uniforms before the BDUs.

[Flocculencio]

Oh ok- like the ones I've seen in Vietnam war films

[Ward]

Right those uniforms by the way in a shop in Hong Kong I was able to have 4 sets made out of silk that cost me about $80 in 1967 .

[Matt]

Thank you sir, This list is the "minor end" items. I still need to compile a list for heavier things like GP tents, Heavy weapons, things that I need to build a base of operationes, etc etc.

Here is a very good site for that stuff, weights and all. Just don't get the poles, we can make them LOL. Also you might want to add a shelter half set for each Ranger (not a individual half, but a full set).
