Dragon Order

A Dragon Order is a military division within the Dragon Corps that divides up The Dragons of Offworld into individual primary military units consisting of approximately 800 dragons each. These are further broken down into companies, platoons and squads, with commanders over each of them. Each Dragon Weyr consists of two Dragon Orders, and these, in turn, are directly overseen by a Weyr Master who is in charge of the entire weyr. The commanders of these two orders, in turn, report directly to him, and then delegate their orders down to their subordinates through the change of command. Each dragon commander has one vice commander and a group of eight regiment commanders under them, who are each in charge of a hundred dragons apiece, operating much the same capacity as a Roman Centurion. Those units are then, in turn, broken down into four platoons of twenty five dragons each, and those subdivided down into squads of five dragons each, which includes their squad commander.
