THE BROTHERHOOD'S FORCES
The Brotherhood's forces are commanded in a loose manner, on account of the Makuta's often personal attachment to battles. Technically, the Makuta (with the exception of Icarax) are political agents, and hold no military authority, but there are few (if any) beings willing to challenge their direction.
Groups in the Brotherhood are almost always comprised of the same species, due to their similar physical attributes such as strength and speed. The only major exception is the Aquamarines, a series of Legions made up of Ursare, Ekedax, and Gawalai. Different groups may also receive wildly different equipment - the Atureas-only Long Patrol receives a great deal of equipment, compared to a Matoran Regional Guard Legion, while the Honor Guards of a Skakdi Lance may recieve better equipment than the rest of the group.
Legion - 10,000 (5 Lances), commanded by a Marshal.
Lance - 2,000 (4 Chains + Honor Guards), commanded by two Undermarshals (one commanding 4 Chains, one commanding an Honor Guard).
Chain - 480 (8 Pikes), commanded by a Turcopolier.
Pike - 60 (6 teams), commanded by a Brother/Sister Greater.
Team - 10, commanded by a Brother/Sister Lesser.
The Brotherhood also applies Vahki to occupied territories on rare occasions, in order to maintain their iron grip. Vahki are striated with their own command structure.
District Force - 2,000 (20 Companies), commanded by a Commander.
Company - 100 (10 Squads), commanded by a Captain.
Squad - 10, commanded by a Sergeant.
