Dinos announce large scale reorganisation of Dino Army

The Dino Minister of Defence Malanson has announced the largest reorganisation of the Dino Army for decades. The reorganisation, which will take a number of years to complete, will result in a more nimble and efficient army he said. Malanson said that the Dino Army has become unwieldily in recent years after expanding to seventeen legions. The reorganisation would reduce that to just five legions, which would be larger units.

The new legions would each consist of four divisions. Each division would be commanded by a Senior Tribune and consist of three brigades plus support units including artillery and aerial assets. One of the divisions would be the legion reserve and also contain support units for the legion staff. The legion would be commanded by a Praetor. Divisions would become the primary deployable units, the legion largely becoming an administrative formation.

The 6th Legion, which is Censor Ronald's honour guard and only consists of a few dozen individuals, will be unaffected by the changes. The SS Legion will also remain unchanged for now. The reorganisation will begin in earnest next year.
