Dino Army changes ratified

A raft of wide-ranging reforms and changes to the Dino Army (and military units of the SS) has been ratified by the Dino Senate. The reforms will aim to make the Dino Army much more flexible and responsive as well give a greater emphasis to space defence. The changes involve some rationalisation and streamlining with savings pumped into improved equipment.

In summary the changes are:

• The primary formation of the Dino Army will be the Division which will consist of a number (usually at least 2) brigades and support units.
• Legions will remain but will become a largely administrative formation responsible for geographical areas. Dino Army assets will be organised by division. Divisions and brigades will be much more fluid and switchable between legions depending on need. Only the ceremonial 6th Legion will remain constant. The number of legions will be reduced to 16.
• The SS' 3 legions will be concentrated into 1 consisting of a number of divisions and brigades.
• The Dino Space Fleet will be created with permanently space borne ships (like the Dinomark RS) allocated to squadrons in the DSF instead of being allocated to legions. The DSF will consist of the bulk of front-line Dinomarks and transports though most XTs will remain with the legions as they perform mostly an army co-operation role.
• The Dinos will develop an unmanned patrol and surveillance spacecraft, perhaps in conjunction with the DDS who are also interested in a drone of this type.

Changes will be rolled in from the Summer.
