Taimanin Squads

A Squad

A part of Gosha Taimanin hierarchy and operational structure.

Unlike in the past when Taimanin would only act within their Clans, currently squads act out the missions of the Taimanin Organization.

## Structure

On the top of all Taimanin command lies the **Taimanin-Chief Commander** that has direct contact to the **minister of Section Three**, which approves larger missions or can request the formation of new units.

Below this are the **Squad Captains**, which are given missions by the **Taimanin-Chief Commander**. These **Squad Captains** order their **Squad's Members** into combat or are part of them, a Taimanin Squad can be a very small unit with 2–3 members or a larger group depending on the style of mission, but some require to be awoken to their Ninja Art. Additionally, **Gosha Academy students** can be assigned as support or for training.
