Appointment of Lieutenant Colonel, 1855

[Imperium 3495]

FROM THE WAR OFFICE OF GENERAL RUTHERN

Appointment of Lieutenant Colonel, 1855

---

 

As General of the Imperial State Army the management and oversight of the ISA falls to me. However, it does not fall to me alone. A Lieutenant Colonel is most often named as the second in command of the 1st Regiment of the Imperial State Army. Since my tenure as General the position of Lieutenant Colonel has remained empty, as such I see fit to appoint an officer who has went beyond my expectations and the duties of their post.

 

From this moment onwards Captain Quinn Darkwood has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st regiment of the Imperial State Army. He shall be the second in command of the 1st Regiment and be given the Authority to command in my absence. However like all members of the ISA even the Lieutenant Colonel must follow our conduct and Mandates of the Lex Kaedreni. Captain Darkwood has proved himself the true heir to his grandfather General Darkwood, a day hasn't gone by without Captain Darkwood in my office or giving me a report of all they have done. I appoint him with my full trust and confidence in his ability.

 

As for the Captain of the 2nd, Lt Colonel Darkwood shall remain acting Captain of the 2nd Brigade until from among the officers of the 2nd one is interviewed and named Captain.

Erik var Ruthern, General of the ISA

"Surprised it wasn't one of the majors." Captain Ezekiel Moores remarked from the quiet confines of his office as he sorted the papers on his desk. "Well, I suppose congratulations are in order."

 

The officer rose from his seat and began the long and arduous 2 meter journey across the corridor to the newly appointed Lt. Colonel's office to offer his congratulations.
