RE: More IC questions

Option 1 makes the best sense.	IIRC the issue that Imperial (Austria,
Russia, 
and Soviet Union) Armies have is making sure that the troops understand
the 
officers.  If the lingua franca is limited to only a few things, C3 can
break 
down quickly.

Subject:	More IC questions

What do you think the iC would be most likely to do for recruitment (by
Battalion or even company??) for regular forces?

Personal or 'governor's or regional defense forces are not being
considered here, but the IC 'regular army' per se.

1) Recruit ethnically homogeneous units and post them away from like
populations (like the cold war soviets did.)  Language would be theirs
internally but the lingua franca mil-speak for unit to unit purposes.

2) Recruit individuals and parcel them out to units to create line units
with diverse populations and one "language" for command/mil-speak (like
the cold war soviets did also on occasion)?

3) Recruit locally and place them in/among populations likely to be more
sympathetic towards 'our troops' (and possibly dangerously the other way
also)?

Would there be a core of the 'regulars' on each colony planet to
stiffen/control the local self defense forces (and watch the 'governor'
raised forces?	Or would raising military forces off planet be
restricted
to "Supra-National" troops only?

Comments requested, please.
