Department of the Army

Imperial Army of the Dominion of the Cev Empire, officially the Department of the Army, was the planetary defense service maintained by the Imperial Dominion of the Cev Empire.

Organization
Direct commanding authority over the Imperial Army was a power of the Imperial Monarch. In addition, the Imperial Senate, the Empire's legislature, often directly influenced the service's operations and even issued orders on occasion, through Defense Command and the Secretary of Defense. The day-to-day operations of the service were managed by Army High Command, under the Marshal of the Imperial Army.

Marshal of the Imperial Army
The Marshal oversaw the operations of the entire service, and reported directly to the Monarch.

Army High Command
This was the service's operational authority. Senior positions included the Marshal of the Imperial Army, the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Planetary Operations.

Order of Battle
The army was split into separate Orders of Battle (ORBATs). These were the clone dominated regular forces, and the enlistee only special forces.

Command structure of regular forces
Imperial Army &mdash; 1 Regular Army & Special Operations-Omega Regiment commanded by the Imperial Marshal.
 * Regular Army &mdash; 120,000 regiments (4,494,000,000 troopers) Note: Exists for Organizational purposes only
 * Regiment &mdash; 8 battalions (37,448 troopers) led by a Clone Captain & Enlisted Officer
 * Battalion &mdash; 8 companies (4,680 troopers) led by a Clone Commander
 * Company &mdash; 8 platoons (584 troopers) led by a Clone Major
 * Platoon &mdash; 8 squads (72 troopers) led by a Clone Lieutenant
 * Squad &mdash; 8 troopers led by a Clone Sergeant.

''Note: The Regular Army being composed of 120,000 regiments is a official figure 'on paper' only and the forces actual size varies. Having been at its lowest comprised of about 60,000 serviceable soldiers and during wartime could easily swell to several times that official size.''

Command Structure of Omega Regiment

 * Special Operations Omega Regiment (SO-OR) &mdash; 20 squads (100 men), commanded by a Enlisted Marshal.
