The TOG Strike Legions (read armored divisions) are composed of a number
(~10) of cohorts (read battalions), with the primary cohort being the
largest and most powerful, per Roman tradition.  These cohorts are put
together, along with support elements into tailor-made Manuses (Manii?)
for each specific mission.  This Manus organization is similar to the
kampfgruppe, or battle-group organization used in many modern (and WWII
German) mechanized forces.
