Greetings Oddysee!  The Oddysee Star Citizen division SOD has put together the draft of the first in-game marine company.  Special thanks to Marine Commander Varrus Vakarian for drafting this up.  After reviewing it over with High Commander Tom, I’m presenting it to you here.  Numbers and specifics are subject to change as details of the game become more apparent, but the general idea is solid.  If you’re looking to sign up for some hardcore in-your-face first person action when Star Citizen launches, then hit up Varrus and tell him you want to join the marines!

SOD Marines 1st Company, Organization and Charter Draft

Organization and Chain of Command:
1st Company of Space Marines will be organized alike the modern day United States design of companies, with a few changes:

1. Company Commander: In charge of the company, rank of Captain, oversees the company giving the different platoons orders and coordinating the company with the Executive Officer.
2. Executive Officer: The second in command, with the rank of first lieutenant is in charge of organizing and running the company along with the Company Commander.
3. Platoon Leader: With the responsibility of managing a platoon of 8 squads, with the rank of lieutenant, the Platoon Leader is in charge of managing a pool of sergeants that will carry out missions along the Navy.
4. Squad Leader: With the rank of Sergeant, this is the lowest position for a Marine, in charge of a squad of 7 AI controlled units, the sergeant will carry out missions assigned by their platoon leader.

Platoon and Squad pool organization
As mentioned before, there will be a pool of 8 Sergeants per Platoon.
The Platoon Leader will be able to choose among the available Sergeants online and assign them a mission according to the orders of the Company Commander. All Sergeants will have an AI Squad composed of 5 units, number may vary upon missions, and several Sergeants can be assigned to a mission of necessary.

All LOD members that wish to join the Marine Reserves can replace the AI units and help along with the mission.

If the instance occurs that there are no Sergeants or not enough available in a Platoon, two Platoon Leaders can coordinate together in order to achieve the mission. As a second in command each Platoon Commander will have a designated First Sergeant.
