Hello All,
Question for everyone.
I seem to recall hearing about an "average military/civilian" ratio in some of the post jihad reports.
I never purchased those so I'm wondering if a ratio was given for the FS (or LC while joined).
I know the US is something like 300 million population & 1 million military. And of that its like 10 support to 1 combat.
But while that is the US, I thought they had some BT figures somewhere for planetary militias.
Also, a lot of the PUG/Miliz is going to be reservist. Do you have any favored ratio? I was thinking 1 Active for 2 Reserves myself.
So for example. If we use the US Ratio & my Active/Reserve rate for a world that has 900 Million people on it, then, we get a breakdown something like this.
100K Active Duty Combat Troops.
900K Active Duty Support Troops.
200K Reserve Combat MOS.
1.8 Million Reserve Support MOS.
This seems pretty high for anything BT related.
If we drop 1/300 initial figure down to 1 in 2000 & drop the world pop to 1/2 a billion then, we get:
8K Active Combat MOS
75K Active Support MOS
17K Reserve Combat MOS
150K Reserve Support MOS
10 Infantry/Tank Regiments active with 20 more Reserve might seem a bit high but is at least a much more "BT-ish" figure and given that Tikonov in 4SW had 80+ IIRC its certainly not out of the question.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew of the report figures & if any for the FC were ever given.
Thank you
