Sanaman Armed Forces reorganisation plan

The Sanaman Armed Forces initiated a plan to reorganise in 1690, encompassing all service, but primarily the Army and Air Force. The stated objective was to consolidate the services with combat force reductions to improve and expand support functions, and relocate bases to improve supply lines and defensive depth.

Changed combat command structure

    • Western Command (WESTCOM), covering Cisamarra, Lagunas, Xolano, Fatehpur Sikri and Indipendensa

    • Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), covering Lamika, Tikano and Niyi, as well as possibly So-Sara in the future
    • Eastern Command (EASTCOM), covering Enosa, Qalit and Semisa
    • Northern Command (NORTHCOM), covering Highpass and Western Shimmerspring, as well as possibly Eastern Shimmerspring in the future
    • Expeditionary Command (EXCOM), commanding such units as assigned to it from either a geographical command, a support command or the reserves
  • Three Support Commands:
    • Special Forces Command (SOFCOM)
    • Transportation Command (TRANSCOM)
    • Strategic Command (STRATCOM)
  • Each command controls the units subordinate to it regardless of service
