'''Rifle Squad''': A Lumenic rifle squad is a sub-subunit of a Lumenic infantry platoon, and consists of 8 infantrymen, led by a Caporale. The rifle squad can function as two fire teams of four men, with one group being led by the squad leader, and the second fireteam by a Specialista.

The rifle squad can function as two fire teams of four men, with one group being led by the squad leader, and the second fireteam by a Specialista. Infantry riflemen are usually armed with assault rifles, with the standard issue arm of the Lumenic Army being the [[ARO FC-18|FC-18]]. A member of a rifle squad will be equipped with a {{wpl|FN Minimi|ML-95}} {{wpl|squad automatic weapon}}, with one or more infantrymen carrying extra ammunition or with an [[ARO FC-18|FC-18ML]] light assault weapon utilizing 100 round magazines. In addition, one man will have an {{wpl|Grenade launcher|under-barrel grenade launcher}} for his rifle. Some experimentation has occurred with equipping the squad’s grenadier with a standalone grenade launcher, such as the [[Lanciatoregranate LG-21|LG-21]], but has not become standard practice. Finally, one infantrymen per squad will be equipped with a [[ARO FC-18|FC-18TS]] {{wpl|designated marksman rifle}}. | ||
Two infantrymen with the rifle squad will carry a single disposable {{wpl|C90-CR (M3)|PAS-95}} with both of these men also being trained to use the [[Misil Antitanque Individual Modello 2001|PAS-01]] rocket launcher. At times, these men may not carry the disposable launcher, and will instead form a team to carry and use the PAS-90, with one man acting as the gunner, and the second as the assistant gunner and ammo bearer. When the squad is equipped as such, another rifleman in the squad will be required to carry a disposable launcher. | |||
Infantry squads are generally transported by either the {{wpl|Dardo IFV|Falco}} or {{wpl|Freccia IFV|Passero}} {{wpl|Infantry fighting vehicle}}s, being assigned to armored and {{wpl|mechanized infantry}} formations respectively, or the {{wpl|Puma (AFV)|Aquila-VI}} {{wpl|armoured personnel carrier}} in the case of {{wpl|motorized infantry}} units. | Infantry squads are generally transported by either the {{wpl|Dardo IFV|Falco}} or {{wpl|Freccia IFV|Passero}} {{wpl|Infantry fighting vehicle}}s, being assigned to armored and {{wpl|mechanized infantry}} formations respectively, or the {{wpl|Puma (AFV)|Aquila-VI}} {{wpl|armoured personnel carrier}} in the case of {{wpl|motorized infantry}} units. | ||

===Commissioned=== | ===Commissioned=== | ||
Officer's in the Lumenic Army occupy positions of leadership and responsibility, assuming direct command responsibility for formations, and instillations of the service. Commissioned officers are considered commanding officers under royal authority and are directly commissioned by the King of Luminerra. A superior officer is an officer with a higher rank than another officer, who is a subordinate officer relative to the superior. | |||
Officers may receive commissions within the Lumenic Army through a number of methods, including attending the [[Lumenic War College]] or the [[Aigovo Military Academy]], attending a four year university which sponsors a Lumenic Army officer training program, or attending a officers candidate school sponsored by the Lumenic Army. This latter option is the preferred method for enlisted servicemen and women to advance into commissioned officer ranks, though being a current member of the Lumenic Air Force is not a requirement to attending OCS, however, all applicants, both existing service and new inductees, must possess a four year degree from an accredited university. In some rare cases, a two year degree in a specialized field may be accepted for OCS applicants. Graduates of either an officer training program from a four year university, or from either the Lumenic War College or Aigovo Military Academy, will receive their degrees prior to commission, and will then attend an abbreviated officer candidate school designed to provide them with training deemed necessary for military applications. | |||
In rare cases, are appointed by superior officers from enlisted or non-commissioned officer ranks through a process known as {{Wpl|Direct commission officer|direct commissioning}}, which can occur as a {{wpl|battlefield promotion}} or be granted to a certified civilian professionals such as scientists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses, clergy, and attorneys. These soldiers will be directly commissioned upon entry into the Lumenic Army. However, these officers generally do not exercise command authority outside of their specific branches, and are highly regulated along their career tracks. | |||
Officers of the Lumenic Army can be divided into three levels; company-grade officers, field-grade officers, and fGENERAL officers. Company-grade officers consist of officers in ranks C-1 through C-3. These officers preform a variety of functions, often overseeing enlisted members of the Lumenic Army in the execution of tasks. Field-grade officers are officers ranked C-4 and C-6. These officers generally hold staff positions for senior officers, but may command company or battalion sized commands, or are tasked with overseeing a group of junior officers and enlisted personal assigned to a specialized mission. General officers consist of officers ranking between C-7 and C-10 and command large elements of the Army, such as brigade or divisional sized commands, or entire Army instillation's, and command missions and programs of great responsibility. | |||

They are primarily utilized to handle the upper administrative tasks of the Lumenic Army, serving as senior non-commissioned officers at the brigade and division level. Warrant officers of the S-1, S-2 and S-3 grade do not receive a commission from the King of Luminerra, as commissioned officers do, but instead are appointed to their rank by the Legatos of the Lumenic Legion. Warrant officers holding the ranks of S-4 and S-5 are, however, do receive their commission from the King of Luminerra and are therefore considered to be commissioned officers. | ||
''Sottufficiales'' are often employed in highly skilled, single-track specialty roles. In general, the Lumenic Army utilizes ''Sottufficiales'' in two ways; as aviators and technical specialists. ''Sottufficiales'' aviators will command both fixed wing and rotar wing aircraft, as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. In some cases, a ''Sottufficiales'' may also command detachments, units, activities, vessels, aircraft, and armored vehicles. A ''Sottufficiale'' technical specialist would be primarily tasked to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field. | ''Sottufficiales'' are often employed in highly skilled, single-track specialty roles.

As the primary ground force of the Lumenic Legion, the mission of the Lumenic Army is "to fight and win conflicts in the national interest, by providing prompt, sustained land dominance, across the full range of military operations and the spectrum of conflict". Currently, the Lumenic Army has standing formations deployed outside of its borders to conflict zones around the world.

Rifle Squad: A Lumenic rifle squad is a sub-subunit of a Lumenic infantry platoon, and consists of 8 infantrymen, led by a Caporale. The rifle squad can function as two fire teams of four men, with one group being led by the squad leader, and the second fireteam by a Specialista. Infantry riflemen are usually armed with assault rifles, with the standard issue arm of the Lumenic Army being the FC-18. A member of a rifle squad will be equipped with a ML-95 squad automatic weapon, with one or more infantrymen carrying extra ammunition or with an FC-18ML light assault weapon utilizing 100 round magazines. In addition, one man will have an under-barrel grenade launcher for his rifle. Some experimentation has occurred with equipping the squad’s grenadier with a standalone grenade launcher, such as the LG-21, but has not become standard practice. Finally, one infantrymen per squad will be equipped with a FC-18TS designated marksman rifle.
Two infantrymen with the rifle squad will carry a single disposable PAS-95 with both of these men also being trained to use the PAS-01 rocket launcher. At times, these men may not carry the disposable launcher, and will instead form a team to carry and use the PAS-90, with one man acting as the gunner, and the second as the assistant gunner and ammo bearer. When the squad is equipped as such, another rifleman in the squad will be required to carry a disposable launcher.
Infantry squads are generally transported by either the Falco or Passero Infantry fighting vehicles, being assigned to armored and mechanized infantry formations respectively, or the Aquila-VI armoured personnel carrier in the case of motorized infantry units.
Weapons Squad: The weapons squad of a Lumenic infantry section are used in tandem with rifle squads, and provide additional firepower to the Lumenic infantry platoon. Weapons Squads consist of three different configurations. Weapons squads, like their rifle squad counterparts, are generally transported by either the Falco or Passero Infantry fighting vehicles, being assigned to armored and mechanized infantry formations respectively, or the Aquila-VI || Armoured personnel carrier in the case of motorized infantry units.
- Machinegun Squad: A machinegun squad is comprised of eight infantrymen led by a Caporale, overseeing three machine gun teams consisting of two men, and assisted by a Specialista acting as the assistant squad leader. Each machinegun team consists of two men, a gunner and assistant gunner, and are all equipped with the MM-95 general purpose machine gun.
- Heavy Weapons Squad: Heavy weapons squads consist of eight infantrymen and can be equipped for a variety of missions. The squad can be organized to function as a heavy machine gun team, with two teams of three men equipped with the MP-61 heavy machine gun, or a LA-40 grenade machine gun. The squad could be deployed as three independent antitank teams, each equipped with the PAS-90 rocket launcher or the PAS-130 anti-tank guided missile.
- Anti-tank squad: An anti-tank squad is charged with defeating armored threats to the infantry platoon that can not be defeated by the weapons available to the rifle squad. The anti-tank squad consists of eight men, led by a Caporale, and is often divided into two three man teams, with the Caporale and an assistant squad leader overseeing the squad. Anti-tank squads are commonly equipped with the FSR-90 recoilless rifle or, more modernly, the PAS-170 anti-tank guided missile.
Section: An infantry section, led by a Sergente, is a paring of a single rifle squad and one type of weapons squad.
Platoon: An infantry platoon, commanded by a Sottotenente or Tenente, and assisted by a Sergente Maggiore, is the basic maneuver element of the Lumenic Army. A proper platoon consists of three rifle squads parried with three weapons squads, generally one representing each configuration. In a Lumenic Airborne infantry platoon, the assistant platoon leader role is filled by an officer, as opposed to a Sergente Maggiore, therefore, all airborne infantry platoons are led by a Tenente, with his assistant platoon leader being a Sottotenente

Ranks
Commissioned
Officer's in the Lumenic Army occupy positions of leadership and responsibility, assuming direct command responsibility for formations, and instillations of the service. Commissioned officers are considered commanding officers under royal authority and are directly commissioned by the King of Luminerra. A superior officer is an officer with a higher rank than another officer, who is a subordinate officer relative to the superior.
Officers may receive commissions within the Lumenic Army through a number of methods, including attending the Lumenic War College or the Aigovo Military Academy, attending a four year university which sponsors a Lumenic Army officer training program, or attending a officers candidate school sponsored by the Lumenic Army. This latter option is the preferred method for enlisted servicemen and women to advance into commissioned officer ranks, though being a current member of the Lumenic Air Force is not a requirement to attending OCS, however, all applicants, both existing service and new inductees, must possess a four year degree from an accredited university. In some rare cases, a two year degree in a specialized field may be accepted for OCS applicants. Graduates of either an officer training program from a four year university, or from either the Lumenic War College or Aigovo Military Academy, will receive their degrees prior to commission, and will then attend an abbreviated officer candidate school designed to provide them with training deemed necessary for military applications.
In rare cases, are appointed by superior officers from enlisted or non-commissioned officer ranks through a process known as direct commissioning, which can occur as a battlefield promotion or be granted to a certified civilian professionals such as scientists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses, clergy, and attorneys. These soldiers will be directly commissioned upon entry into the Lumenic Army. However, these officers generally do not exercise command authority outside of their specific branches, and are highly regulated along their career tracks.
Officers of the Lumenic Army can be divided into three levels; company-grade officers, field-grade officers, and fGENERAL officers. Company-grade officers consist of officers in ranks C-1 through C-3. These officers preform a variety of functions, often overseeing enlisted members of the Lumenic Army in the execution of tasks. Field-grade officers are officers ranked C-4 and C-6. These officers generally hold staff positions for senior officers, but may command company or battalion sized commands, or are tasked with overseeing a group of junior officers and enlisted personal assigned to a specialized mission. General officers consist of officers ranking between C-7 and C-10 and command large elements of the Army, such as brigade or divisional sized commands, or entire Army instillation's, and command missions and programs of great responsibility.
Warrant Officer
In the Lumenic Army, warrant officers are known as sottufficiale and are considered to be non-commissioned officers, outranking the senior-most enlisted ranks but ranking below the officer grade of C‑1. They are primarily utilized to handle the upper administrative tasks of the Lumenic Army, serving as senior non-commissioned officers at the brigade and division level. Warrant officers of the S-1, S-2 and S-3 grade do not receive a commission from the King of Luminerra, as commissioned officers do, but instead are appointed to their rank by the Legatos of the Lumenic Legion. Warrant officers holding the ranks of S-4 and S-5 are, however, do receive their commission from the King of Luminerra and are therefore considered to be commissioned officers.
Sottufficiales are often employed in highly skilled, single-track specialty roles. In general, the Lumenic Army utilizes Sottufficiales in two ways; as aviators and technical specialists. Sottufficiales aviators will command both fixed wing and rotar wing aircraft, as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. In some cases, a Sottufficiales may also command detachments, units, activities, vessels, aircraft, and armored vehicles. A Sottufficiale technical specialist would be primarily tasked to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field.
One special exception to this general rule is the rank of Maresciallo dell'esercito or Marshal of the Army, who serves as the senior most non-commissioned officer in the Lumenic Army. The Maresciallo dell'esercito is appointed to serve as a spokesman to address the issues of enlisted soldiers to all officers, from other Sottufficiales and Sottotenente's to the Army's highest positions. in effect making the Maresciallo dell'esercito the senior most enlisted advisor to the Generale dell'esercito, or the General of the Army. The exact duties vary depending on the Army's current Generale dell'esercito, though much of the Maresciallo dell'esercito's time is spent traveling throughout the nation to various Army posts and facilities, observing training and talking with soldiers and their families.
