Army Structure

From Orson Scott Card Wiki

Each Battle School Army has 41 members, including the commander, usually divided into 4 platoons ("Toons") of 10 soldiers each. One member of each Toon is designated as the Toon Leader. Ender broke away from the normal structure and divided his army into 5 Toons of 8 soldiers, and further diversified his team by creating a special Toon under Bean, whose job it was to come up with "impossible" situations and possible solutions. Bean's Toon was comprised of members from each of the other 5 Toons.

Thus, a typical army structure looked like this:

[edit] 1 Commander

• 4 Toon Leaders

• 10 Soldiers
