Jimmy outlines plans for army reform

New Consul Jimmy has said the main aim of his term of office will be to reform the Dino Army to better cope with current and future threats. Jimmy said the existing 23 legions would be merged into 7 or 8 "armies". The SS' 3 legions would also be merged into a single armed SS. The armies would be separated into different divisions which would roughly correspond to the current legion structure but allow for much greater flexibility and variety of of force structure.

A separate "Space Army" would also be formed of dedicated space forces instead of ships being allocated to terrestrial legions even if they never leave space.

Jimmy said his plans would be properly fleshed out this Spring and presented to the Senate in the Summer. Ronald is said to be largely in approval with Jimmy's plans.
