Legion Command Group Structure

Each of the five Expeditionary Armies of the 1st Expeditionary Army are responsible for generating a Rikugun Legion Command Group to spearhead expeditionary activities. Each LCG is comprised of two brigades from the parent army and fleet elements generally provided by Fifth Fleet in a process facilitated by Fifth Fleet Force Structure YE 45.

Each LCG shares its number with its parent army. When a rapid Rikugun presence is required, an Expeditionary Army can task part of or an entire Legion Command Group to provide a wide array of capabilities. It is rare for more than one LCG to be sent to a particular hot spot. Instead, if an issue escalates beyond what a single LCG can handle, more forces from its parent Expeditionary Army are sent to support it. This can escalate until regular Rikugun forces from other Area Armies are being deployed. It should be noted that the LCG structure is meant to provide a flexible, rapid response capability, not to be the primary fighting force of the Rikugun.

LCG personnel should be level headed, adaptable, and act with the utmost professionalism because they are often going to be among the first SAoY personnel to arrive at a crisis. Leaders from the fire team level up to the LCG Commander must be able to act judiciously with limited oversight and be ready to advise relevant decision makers with timely, up to date, and unbiased information.
