BattleOfValmy
Bonjour mes amis.
We are the 54th Infantry Regiment of glorious France! We have partaken in such landmark battles as the Battle of Valmy, Kaiserlautern and Mainz. We are looking for good soldiers to fight for the french homeland, and to destroy the Prussian and British pigs!
Ranks have been restructured! My rank is Général de brigade, and everyone else is starting as a Soldat 1e classe.
Don't worry if you feel bad that you've been "demoted" from Colonel or Chef de brigade, promotion won't be hard, and this new rank system will surely add some more dynamism to the régiment.
And yes, I know I'm using the modern ranks of the French Army, but they have not changed much since the 18th century, so we'll use it for now.

Duties of Senior officers: You are my right hand men (or women), and you take the reports of the Warrant and Junior officers. If something is very important, then report it to me. Also report to me anything you feel I should know. Command the Warrant and Junior officers well, so that they may command their inferiors just as well.
Duties of Junior officers: Command the Sous-officers, report to your superiors (Senior Officers) any troublemakers, and do not bicker with your superior officers or each other. If you have an issue with a fellow Junior Officer, report to a higher officer, but never to le général unless your problem is with a Senior Officer.
Duties of Sous-officiers: Listen to your commanding officers, and keep order over the rank and file. If you have any problems with a fellow sous-officiers, report to a commanding officer, or difficulties with a commanding officer, report to their superior officer, not to me, as that is breaking the chain of command.
Duties of the Militaires du rang: You are the body of the machine that is the 54e, the rank and file. You are the hands that work, the feet that walk, and the weapons that kill. Follow orders, be proud and be brave.
Ours is a glorious regiment, decorated and holy. Respect that, and fight for sacred France!

Merci, mes amis.
