Organization
Ranks: The ranking of the CK military is based off of merit in the service, however nobility and office do hold a position in advancement and promotion. The typical rank is based off of two sections. The first is the land-holding title such as Baron or Duke. The second is the rank within the military service such as Private or Sergeant. The second title is used within everyday practice while the first is used only for formal occasions. For example, Count-Captain would be used in formal address. Captain would be used in everyday situations. However, enlisted or vassals are always addressed as Knight-Private, Knight-Sergeant, Knight-Captain, etc.

General of the Order (Foremost military official, second only to the King)

While each corps is the largest group, aside from Joint-Corps, and each have variable numbers to them, there still is a typical chart for the grouping of military units. It typically runs
10 men = Squad
10 squads = Phalanx (100 Men)
5 Phalanxes = 1 Cohort (500 Men)
5 Cohorts = 1 Division (2500 Men)
2 Divisions = 1 Regiment (5000 Men)
3 Regiments = 1 Battalion (15000)
6 Battalions = 1 Army (90000)
4 Armies = 1 Theater Group (360000)
1+Theater Group = 1 Corps (Variable)
Army organization
The Corps are generally self-sustaining armies living off the lords and barons supporting them. They are each stationed to a sector of the Kingdom and actively participate in defenses of it. However, most action is conducted amid the Regimental level. Regiments are the units that are the most used in deployment to a conflict zone. They are generally paired with a fleet and carrier group to support and provide orbital assets.
Each regiment is a self-contained army. It carries and supports itself with its own baggage train, CAS squadron, armor support [both tank and walker], and medical teams. Each typically organized based off of their cohorts.

At the head of the regiment is a Colonel. He commands the regiment and deals with the strategic placement and coordination of the unit. He also serves as the regiment's adjutant to the General in charge of the theater group. He is followed by a staff of officers that fulfill the clerical and administrative duties of the regiment.
S-1: Administration
S-2: Intelligence
S-3: Operations
S-4: Logistics
S-5: Planning
S-6: Communications
S-7: Training
S-8: Finance
Each is an officer, generally of a rank of Lieutenant or Captain, that directs his specific department. They handle the dirty bits, taking care of the paper work and issues.
Administration handles all of the business dealing with personnel records and paperwork. They keep the fitness exams up to date, file requests and transfers. They also handle the postal service and typically serve as the CO's and XO's liaison to the main body.
Intelligence handles the business of acquring the earliest field reports and sheets handing the down from the theatre level to the regimental commander or do the business of conducting officer recon checks.
Operations assists the CO with the formation of the regiment's goal and strategy handling the overall flow and placement of the cohorts.
Logistics handles the acquisition and deployment of all materials to the soldiers ensuring they have the medical supplies, ammunition, consumables, support equipment and the equipment necessary to repair the previous gear. Not only this but they handle the acquirement and suiting up of the units ensuring each cohort has the gear to perform its mission.
Planning serves as the liaison of the regimental command to the nearby civilian populace and organizations.
Communications processes and handles the inter-regimental communications inside the unit and with outer forces as well. They also maintain and oversee the establishment of communication equipment such as radio towers, maser arrays, FTL buoys, etc.
Training organizes and conducts the training for the regiment and also supervises and supports friendly units.
Finance sets the finance policy for the operation. Operationally, the Administration and Finance may be interlinked, but have separate reporting chains.
From here each division is handled by a Major. There he works directly with the various Captains running the Cohorts and the Lieutenants directing the Phalanxes.
Typically each unit is kept on a Station 3 readiness level. That means that they are in effect constantly training and on guard for hostile excursion. Station 3, the most common, is where units are kept on watch and ready to engage a potentially hostile force. They typically conduct deep recon and arduous training schedules to be prepared. However, due to the limitations of an army in a space faring empire they conduct few deep recon as the navy fulfills that purpose.
Station 2 is the active deployment and engagement of units in a minor scale. This means small skirmishes and engagements generally keeping to hit-and-run tactics and movements. Generally kept on minor units such as cohorts.
Station 1 is the full-scale deployment of the army. All and every soldier is used for engagement and destruction of the enemy. It is a very portrayal of total-war with waves of regiments bearing down on the enemy. This is generally reserved for sector wide warfare or wars encompassing the entire Kingdom.
