I believe some direction is incoming on that to lessen the need for Op BB.
I continue in the belief that Light Soldiers, by virtue of their inability to haul a bunch of gear around the countryside with them, are the basic building block of an army.
They need to learn how to soldier with the bare minimum of kit.
If they need more kit to do their job then that kit, and the necessary experts, need to be attached for the duration of the operation.
Need comms, add signallers.
Need info, add intops
Need defences, add sappers
Need guns, add gunners
Need armour, add tankers
.....
Basic soldiering, is what every militia soldier should be taught and be required to execute well. The Rifle Company is the basic element.
Anything beyond that, including all of the trades mentioned above, should require additional personal commitment and could be a supplementary task for the Company.
Eg - All 150 militia units should raise one Light Infantry Company - Cavalry units add a mobile troop, Arty add a gun troop, Engineers add a sapper troop, etc.
