Assisting Company

An Aderian Assisting Company is a fighting force dedicated to long-range support in the form of archers and ballistae. Additionally, they receive further training in siege warfare and construction of simple siege engines. Due to their specialty, soldiers in an assisting company are exempt from any and all duties; thus, they are garrisoned either in their battalion's headquarters or in another company's camp.
