*A letter is adressed to the high command of house Valois* Proposed Valois Guard Reforms *It is written in elegant letters* The guard corps is currently not as efficient as possible. For maximum efficiency I propose several major reforms. The first would be the standardization of rank. Most of the current ranks would be kept, yet changed in a drastic way. The second would be the creation of commands. Finally, the third would be the standardization of the weapons used. Ranks and standard weapons: The Fantassins will remain the standard starting rank. They would be equipped with a short sword, a pilum, a dagger and a small buckler shield. These are in a way the grunts of the army. They would receive standard train9ing and be proficient in fortification building. The Caporal will be the first NCO rank, one which should be attained after a certain time of service in the guard. They would retain the same equipment than a fantassin, apart having an extra pilum. A sergeant is the backbone of the military. He would be equipped with a halberd and a two handed sword. The sergeant would be in charge of a certain amount of men during hostile action. He would also be in charge of recruiting. The lieutenant is a very important person. He would be the one to carry the standard of House Valois. His job on the field would be to serve as a rallying point for the men. He would be armed with a simple dagger and short sword. There should only ever be on lieutenant. A captain is the highest rank an enlisted man can reach. There should be three captains at maximum ((Two normal captains and one for the chasseurs)). The captains are in charge of regulating pay, food, guard duty and such. They would be armed with a short sword, dagger, war mattock and a shield along with a weapon of choice. The commandant rank would only be attained by a trusted friend of House Valois or a noble. He would choose his own equipment and would be the second-in-command of the guard. There should only be one. Finally, the Master-At-Arms would be the highest rank. He is the leader of the guard and an important figure. He would choose his own equipment and relay his orders through the captains. The ranks should be accorded with regularity ((For example, there shouldn’t be 8 sergeants, 6 corporals and no fantassins)) among the number of troops at the moment. The Chasseurs: Men who have proven themselves may join the chasseurs. This would be an elite group of individuals who wield ranged weapons. There would be 3 regulars, a caporal and the “Chef-Chasseur”. Uniforms: A recruit would design his own uniform with the standard gold and maroon colors. The higher the rank, the more armor. A lieutenant would have a wolf skin cap and the sergeant a sort of beret. Commands: The basic parade commands would be given in French. For example: Forward “En avant” Back “Retraite” To arms “Aux armes” Hopefully after careful review you will find that these reforms would greatly enhance the performance of the Valois Guard.
