Join the Fifty-Sixth Today!
The Fifty-Sixth, publicly known as the Gilded Lions is a wing of the Alliance Military, acting as a strike force, under orders of the Crown and Alliance High Command for a plethora of actions such as disruption, reinforcement, determent and support.
Establishment
The Fifty-Sixth was established as a strike force due to the ongoing war with the Horde, many Alliance soldiers have fallen to the ongoing conflict, so much so that civilian enlistments are being sent to the front lines. High Command issued the establishment of the Fifty-Sixth with the intention of applying severe pressure to the Horde and their military capability, be it directly, or through disruption of supplies, along with ensuring that the growing threat of the Scarlets does not reach a severe boiling point and bubble over into the ongoing war, in turn creating more problems for the Alliance.
Our Duty
Disruption - Perhaps the most prominent objective the Fifty-Sixth will be partaking in, this will be performed against the Horde, primarily against their supply lines and war front encampments. This objective will focus on destroying or cutting off Horde supply camps or routes, in turn preventing soldiers from licking their wounds after an Alliance victory.
Reinforcement - Another important objective of the Fifty-Sixth, Reinforcement is of course rather self-explanatory, the regiment will be sent around various war fronts and areas of conflict to act as short-term support in order to push attackers back and solidify solid ground for future assaults.
Determent - An objective that holds less importance at current than the previous two objectives, though still one in which Command has made abundantly clear is to be made a focus, the determent of hostile factions, primarily the Scarlet Crusade. With remnants of the Crusade amassing North of the Eastern Kingdoms, they’ve been causing trouble for Alliance soldiers in the area along with innocents that do not agree with their twisted views, the Fifty-Sixth has been ordered to put focus on preventing the Crusade and any other hostile factions using the war to benefit their own agenda.
Support - While this may seem to be the same as reinforcing, support does not focus on entering in to an already ongoing conflict, but rather accompanying other regiments on campaigns and into battle from the very beginning, aiding the accompanied regiments in destroying Horde supplies, establishing footholds, creating diversions and so on, while it is not expected to be a main part of the regiments duties, it is still a possibility that High Command will issue missions to accompany other regiments in these endeavors.
Hierarchy
Commander - The top of the pile within the Fifty-Sixth, the Commander oversees operations, acts as a direct link to the Crown and Command, handles meetings and promotions, is responsible for serious decisions and maintains order within the officer team.
Captain - The Second-In-Command of the Fifty-Sixth, the Captain is responsible for performing the duties of the Commander should they be absent at any time, in turn, the Captain handles the same duties as the Commander, and aids the Commander in their duties.
Lieutenant - Responsible for overseeing the troops, along with Sergeants, a Lieutenant’s duties revolve around the men and women of the Fifty-Sixth, they are the primary line of contact between the lower ranks and the Commander, along with handling any training incidents outwith the Sergeants authority.
Sergeant - The training officers of the Fifty-Sixth, Sergeants are primarily responsible for the discipline and training of all those below. Sergeants also act as the first line of contact for the lower ranked troops, before Lieutenants, if the Sergeant is unable to handle problems brought to them, they as such report in to a Lieutenant.
Corporal - The backbone of the regiment, Corporals are the line between officers and enlisted personnel, their duty is to support Sergeants in day to day activities, along with being the lowest rank which can handle enlistment of new recruits without superior permission.
Lance-Corporal - Duties are very similar to that of a Corporal, save for restrictions, a Lance-Corporal is simply a Corporal in training, a PFC which has proven themselves capable and as such has been given the chance to step forth into the boots of an Officer. Lance-Corporals must be approved by a Sergeant or higher before they can enlist new recruits themselves.
First-Class - A Private of the First-Class is rather simple, a private that has proven themselves above the call and duty of a simple Private, displaying great potential and discipline, the step just before gaining the potential to undergo officer training as a Lance-Corporal
Private - The first step towards becoming a fully fledged soldier, Privates are the meat and bones of the regiment, without them there would be no regiment, they serve as the primary combative force of the Fifty-Sixth.
Enlisted - Newly recruited military personnel, to be promoted from an Enlisted Recruit is rather simple should the soldier prove capability in combative skills and military knowledge.
Supporter - Non-Military personnel, the job of a supporter is very simple, to make use of the skills they have available to support the regiment, be they alchemists, cartographers, diplomats, tacticians, etc.
