RANK & COMMAND STRUCTURE
Rank is distributed roughly according to the size of the unit commanded, counting when a unit training session has the highest attendance. So for example; if a unit initiator has recruited 5 members (including themselves) who all train together for one day, he or she automatically becomes sergeant, and at 7, second lieutenant (see table of units).
NCO´s (corporal and sergeant) have the right to recommend lower ranks for promotion and awards based on commitment and ability in service.
Officers from 2nd lieutenant up have the right to promote and recommend lower ranks for awards.
Officers from Captain up can promote and award lower ranks.
The role of an officer or NCO is to structure and direct units under his/her command. Officers and NCO´s are responsible for the welfare and discipline of their subordinates.
Since all membership of the militia is entirely voluntary, the refusal of direct orders are considered de-facto resignations. A good leader will learn how much is realistic to expect from his or her subordinates, and not give orders likely to be disobeyed.
