Mobile Infantry Company

A Mobile Infantry Company is the primary independent maneuver and combat formation of the Gondaran Army. The company is designed to rapidly deploy by motor transport, establish defensive positions, absorb enemy counterattack, and sustain combat operations until reinforced by battalion assets.

The company combines:

  • Motorized rifle platoons
  • Organic indirect fire support
  • Sustained-fire support weapons
  • Distributed sustainment
  • Internal mobility and maintenance capability

Unlike smaller formations, the company possesses sufficient firepower, command structure, sustainment, and mobility coordination to conduct independent maneuver and defensive operations.

Vehicle Doctrine

CT-32 Cargo Truck

The CT-32 Cargo Truck serves as:

  • Primary troop transport
  • Operational sustainment node
  • Ammunition reserve carrier
  • Water and ration transport
  • Emergency resupply platform

Each truck includes:

  • 8× 5-gallon fuel cans (40 gallons total)

  • Heavy weapon repositioning

The mule allows frontline resupply without exposing larger transport vehicles to enemy artillery or observation.


Combat Endurance

Formation Combat Endurance
Rifle Squad ~1 Hour
Platoon ~6 Hours
Company ~12 Hours
Battalion ~48 Hours
Brigade ~96 Hours

Combat endurance represents the estimated duration a formation can maintain meaningful combat operations using primarily internal sustainment resources before requiring higher-echelon resupply.


Mobile Infantry Doctrine

Mobile Infantry doctrine emphasizes:

  • Operational mobility
  • Rapid deployment
  • Immediate entrenchment
  • Distributed sustainment

  3. Immediate emplacement and entrenchment
  4. Truck relocation and camouflage
  5. Establishment of battle line
  6. Absorption of enemy counterattack

All Mobile Infantry systems remain capable of emergency 12-mile dismounted movement if convoy mobility collapses.
