Veteran Company
An Aderian Veteran Company is a fighting force comprised of veteran warriors that served in other fighting companies. They are usually not deployed in simple skirmishes as their experience is too valuable to be lost in a simple melee; instead, they are used for more subtle actions, such as flanking a force, laying in ambush, or small raids. Due to them already serving as regular soldiers, soldiers in the veteran company are exempt from patrol and sentinel duty.
Composition
Tactics
A veteran company is comprised of four platoons:
- The Grave Platoon, also known as the Fifth, is comprised of the battalion's most ruthless infantrymen; mostly serving as a reserve force, the fifth is deployed when the battle calls for aggression, either to end it swiftly or to turn its tide.
- The Deep Platoon, also known as the Sixth, is dedicated for reconnaissance.
- The Wide Platoon, also known as the Seventh, is tasked with strategic operations such as: ambushes; flanking; trapping; feints; and general manuevers.
- The Auxillary Platoon, also known as the Eighth, is manned by foreign veterans, primarily those who served in the Navaran Magisterial Corps or in the Saltisian military.
