His work holds up for the most part, although I think that he over-inflated the Rebel Alliance’s ranks slightly. He created marvelous explanations for the insignia that we see in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, using the on-screen characters, the given ranks, what real-world ranks are, and using math to give us what insignia must correspond to what officer grade based off all available information.
I believe that there is a simple solution for this that covers all of the bases, save for one inconsistent badge.īefore I describe this, I must mention the beautiful work that Curtis Saxton put in on the STAR WARS Technical Commentaries website. However, Captain Cassian Andor and Captain Kado Oquoné wear green rank plaques, which throws a wrench into both systems. I believe that the Resistance took its rank structure directly from the Rebel Alliance.Īccording to the canon reference book, Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, the Alliance’s rank structure is Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Commander, Colonel, General, which is taken from the Alderaanian standard - this is similar to the description in the Legends roleplaying book Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, except that the roleplaying book indicates that red is designated for the army designation while blue is designated for the navy. The Resistance is inspired by the Alliance to Restore the Republic (aka the Rebel Alliance), as the New Republic was unwilling to stand up to the threat of the First Order. Note that the CHG was directly responsable for carrying out the actions of the BHC.In my review of The Last Jedi, I mentioned that the officer rank structure for the Resistance is canonically Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Commander, Colonel, General/Admiral (although Amilyn Holdo is a Vice Admiral and Nien Nunb is a Lieutenant Commander, but that’s not germane to this post). While the fire support command may take direct control of the four medium mortar section of each company headquarters group. For example the automatic grenade launcher platoon may be attached to a light infantry company.
It was not uncommon for the BHC to provide each company in the battalion with a large amount of resources and only meeting them again at the end of the operation.Īlternatively, battalion level operation often required the various units to cross attach and detach. Specifically to conducted separate long term operation. The light infantry battalion relied heavily on this company do to the highly autonomes nature of the battalion. Including the heavy infantry battalion, the medium infantry battalion and light infantry battalion. The battalion headquarters company was a support and command company typically attached to each rebel alliance standard infantry battalion.
