New Command Structure
Since the running of the companies is already taken care of, our Commanders are freed up to focus on two things; Military Tactics & Weapons Distribution.

Commander-in-Chief
The CINC is the highest held position in the military, and effectively replaces the Minister of Defence. The CINC is responsible for determining our participation in foreign wars, which will involve presenting to the Prime Minister & Senate what battle scenarios we should support, and how much we support. For example, if we were to join EDEN, how much we support in terms of what EDEN is attacking/defending (in terms of if it's a conquest, or liberation of a native EDEN land.

The CINC will give the go orders on active battles on a daily basis, consulting with either EDEN (if applicable), our current Allies (those we hold MPPs with) or Sol. This will be in the form of an article on eRepublik, giving clear instructions on where each unit shall fight.

Unit Commanders
There will be a Commander/Deputy Commander of each of our three military units;

These Commanders/Deputy Commanders follow the orders given by the CINC and distribute weapons accordingly, in a two-phase process.

1. A standard, small amount of weapons distribution to all active soldiers with Dropbears & ACUK.
2. Hold an IRC meet for coordinated strikes, and attending soldiers will receive additional weapons.

Master-At-Arms
eAustralian Military will now feature a legal representative, acting as a conduit between soldiers & commanders. Post-battle, the Master-At-Arms will be responsible for looking through battle stats (using Neat Battle Stats to ensure weapons distributed were used in the intended battles (especially for those that did not attend the battle's IRC meet). They will determine who is inactive and in this case, the soldier will not recieve further weapons until they contact the Master-At-Arms, who takes into account the soldiers activity history and makes a call as whether or not the soldier is fit (ie active/committed enough) to continue in the armed forces.

On the flip side, the Master-at-Arms acts a buffer for all soldiers who can field any concerns against other soldiers or their commanding officers (ie not getting PMs).
