   Being a military outpost, Tarsier has a larger than normal Militia, and the Town Guard works with the local military forces to provide security for the citizens of the city against Ss'ressen raids and criminals who would threaten them. Below are the statistics for the Militia and Town Guard of Tarsier: Town Guard: 47 Constables (Chainshirt, Chainmail or Breastplate; Longsword, or Crossbow) 6 Captains (Chainmail or Breastplate; Bastardsword) 2 Lieutenants (Breastplate or Leather Armor; Greatsword or Quarterstaff) 1 Adjutant General (Breastplate; Trillion Hammer) Militia: 5 Platoons (100 men each) This force has with the ability to grow in size to 800 conscripts in time of war. However, being a military town, the local military adds an estimated 1100 to the conscript total, bringing the overall total to an estimated 1900 conscripts in time of war. There is also a force of 5 platoons, each consisting of 100 men. They are used for guard duty and patroling the surrounding area of Tarsier. This multi-national force comprises the main defense for the city. The rotation order for these four platoons is based on a 90-30 rotation where at least three platoons are on active duty while the fourth platoon is engaged in a cool down period after being on the defensive for 90 days. Every ninety days a platoon is pulled off the defensive lines and placed on this cool down mode. At the end of the thirty days they return to active duty. Below is the garrison duty rotations while the platoons are stationed at Tarsier for the 90 day period. The two hour watches represents the "dog watch" which is used to keep rotating the men on garrison duty so that they will not constantly have the same watch. 0000 - 0400 0400 - 0800 0800 - 1200 1200 - 1600 1600 - 1800 1800 - 2000 2000 - 2400 There are groups of three men and four groups of four men constantly being rotated on garrison duty. This number come from the platoon size, which is estimated at 100 men and an estimated garrison personell of 25. These 25 men switch off with another group of 25 men so that everyone has a chance to enjoy the delights of Tarsier. |
