174th Battle Group Handbook

+

+ This handbook is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the + 174th Battle Group, its structure, operations, and guidelines for + members. It serves as a reference for both new recruits and seasoned + members to ensure consistency and efficiency within the group. +

+
+ +
+

Using This Handbook

+

+ This handbook is organized into sections that cover various aspects of + the 174th Battle Group. Each section is designed to provide clear and + concise information on specific topics. +

+

+ Members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the contents of + this handbook and refer to it regularly to ensure they are adhering to + the standards and expectations of the 174th Battle Group. +

+
+ +
+

Departments

+

+ The 174th Battle Group is organized into several departments, each + responsible for specific functions and operations. These departments + include: +

+ +
+ +
+

Divisions

+

+ The 174th Battle Group is organised into three distinct divisions: + Naval, Marine, and Auxiliary. This structure reflects the fundamentally + different operational environments and skill sets required to execute + the full spectrum of the group's missions. +

+ + + +
+

Marine

+

+ The Marine division encompasses all personnel whose primary role + involves ground combat, boarding actions, facility assault or defence, + and close-quarters operations. Marines are the group's primary + fighting force on foot, responsible for securing objectives that + cannot be taken from orbit alone. +

+

+ A separate marine structure is necessary because ground and boarding + operations require a different tactical doctrine, equipment standard, + and leadership model to ship-based roles. Marines must train and + operate independently of the fleet while remaining able to integrate + seamlessly with Naval assets — a relationship that works best when + each division has its own coherent hierarchy and identity. +

+
+ +
+

Auxiliary

+

+ The Auxiliary division encompasses all personnel whose primary role + involves enabling the operational effectiveness of the Naval and + Marine divisions. This includes logistics coordinators, medical + personnel, miners, salvagers, engineers, and intelligence analysts. + Auxiliary personnel ensure the group can sustain itself independently, + maintain its assets, and generate the resources required for prolonged + operations. +

+

+ A dedicated auxiliary structure is necessary because enablement roles + require their own doctrine, career progression, and leadership chain. + Embedding auxiliary personnel into operational divisions risks + subordinating their work to short-term tactical priorities; a separate + division ensures that logistics, medical readiness, and resource + generation receive sustained command attention and are treated as + strategic priorities in their own right. +

+
+
+ +
+

Ranks

+

+ Red Right Hand uses a rank system to denote hierarchy and roles within + its divisions. Below is a breakdown of the ranks for each division: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Rank 3Tactical leadershipCaptainMajorSupervisor
Rank 4Leads leadershipCommodoreCommanderChief
Rank 5Strategic commandAdmiralGeneralMarshal
+

+ Each rank comes with its own set of responsibilities and expectations, + contributing to the overall effectiveness and discipline of the Red + Right Hand. +

+ + + +
+

Marine Ranks

+ +
+

Private

+

+ The entry-level rank for new recruits in the Marine division. + Privates undergo basic training to prepare for their roles and must + demonstrate commitment and discipline through their training period + before advancing to Corporal. They are usually assigned to + fundamental duties and learning tasks within the Marine Corps. +

+
+ +
+

Corporal

+

+ Corporals are Marines who have proven their abilities in the field + and demonstrated leadership potential. They often serve as team + leaders for small units and are responsible for the training and + welfare of Privates. Corporals are expected to lead by example and + maintain high standards of discipline and performance. +

+
+ +
+

Sergeant

+

+ Sergeants are non-commissioned officers with specialized skills in + areas such as infantry tactics, logistics, reconnaissance, or heavy + weapons. They serve as squad leaders or technical experts and are + responsible for mission planning at the unit level. Sergeants bridge + the gap between enlisted personnel and commissioned officers. +

+
+ +
+

Major

+

+ Majors hold tactical leadership positions and typically command + platoons or companies. They are responsible for coordinating + multiple squads in combat operations and ensuring that their units + are properly trained and equipped. Majors must demonstrate strong + tactical acumen and the ability to make critical decisions under + pressure. +

+
+ +
+

Commander

+

+ Commanders lead groups of Majors and coordinate battalion-level or + larger operations. They are responsible for operational planning, + resource allocation, and ensuring that tactical leaders can execute + their missions effectively. Commanders serve as the link between + tactical and strategic leadership. +

+
+ +
+

General

+

+ Generals hold the highest rank in the Marine division and are + responsible for strategic command and overall Marine Corps + operations. They establish doctrine, set long-term objectives, and + represent the Marine forces in organizational leadership. Generals + shape the identity and capabilities of the entire Marine division. +

+
+
+ +
+

Auxiliary Ranks

+ +
+

Trainee

+

+ The entry-level rank for new personnel in the Auxiliary division. + Trainees are assigned to foundational tasks such as cargo handling, + basic maintenance, or medical assistance under supervision. They + must demonstrate reliability and a willingness to learn before + advancing to Technician. +

+
+ +
+

Technician

+

+ Technicians have proven their competence in at least one support + discipline — such as ship repair, medical treatment, mining + operations, or logistics coordination. They work with greater + autonomy than Trainees and are expected to take ownership of their + assigned tasks and begin mentoring new Trainees. +

+
+ +
+

Specialist

+

+ Specialists have developed deep expertise in a particular support + field and serve as the primary point of competence for that + discipline within their team. They advise operational commanders on + support considerations, manage resources within their area, and + train Technicians to a higher standard. +

+
+ +
+

Supervisor

+

+ Supervisors lead Auxiliary teams and are responsible for + coordinating multiple disciplines to meet the operational needs of + Naval and Marine units. They manage scheduling, resource allocation, + and quality assurance within their assigned area, and serve as the + primary liaison between Auxiliary personnel and operational + commanders. +

+
+ +
+

Chief

+

+ Chiefs lead groups of Supervisors and are responsible for Auxiliary + operations across a broader area of the group's activities. They + coordinate with Naval and Marine leadership to anticipate + requirements, resolve resource conflicts, and ensure that the + division's enablement capacity keeps pace with operational demands. +

+
+ +
+

Marshal

+

+ Marshals hold the highest rank in the Auxiliary division and are + responsible for the strategic direction of all Auxiliary functions. + They set division-wide priorities, manage relationships with the + Command department, and ensure that logistics, medical, industrial, + and intelligence capabilities are developed and maintained to + sustain the group's long-term independence. +

+
+
+
+ +
+

Fleet Composition

+ +
+

Design Principles

+

+ The fleet composition must adhere to the following design principles: +

+
    +

  • + Versatility: Our fleet must be capable of handling + a wide range of missions, from combat to exploration to trade. +
    • +
  • + Quality over Quantity: We will prioritize + maintaining a smaller fleet of high-quality, well-maintained ships + over a larger fleet of lower-quality vessels. +
