1st East Prussian Infantry Regiment
1st Musketier Battalion, Kompanie A
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Regiment fights for the Prussian Army
The new Prussian infantry of 1813-15 however used modern tactics
and was well organized. The men were enthusiastic and patriotic.
"Splendid old General Horn was at the head of the famous Leib Regiment;
he raised his sword on high, gave a loud Hurrah ! ... Forward !
Long live to the king of Prussia ! ...
These were scenes that inspired each good, Prussian heart ... there was a
splendid spirit in our Prussian troops, be they line or Landwehr. May this
always be the case for then the state of the Hohenzollerns will stand firm
and respected." - Mjr Ernst Moritz Arndt, Leipzig 1813

Guten Tag!
We are the 1st East Prussian Infantry Regiment 1st Battaillon, Kompanie A, numbered 1st Regiment in the Prussian Army. We are determined to restore Prussia's honor after the disastrous defeats at Jena and Aürstadt. With the Prussian Army's humiliating defeat at the hands of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte occupied our capital and stained the honor of the Prussian people. We invoke the name of Frederick the Great and his glorious armies that swept across Europe laying waste to the enemies of Prussia, to give us the strength and the courage to overcome the Corsican's oppression of our people. Frederick the Great and his armies stood alone against a united Europe and prevailed. Now we must do the same. Onward, to victory! Für das Vaterland!
About Us
The 1st East Prussian Infantry Was formed in December 2010 for the purpose of accurately representing historic military structure and tactics of the Napoleonic Era, to the best of our ability, and in so doing, form a tight-knit, elite Regiment of well trained, disciplined, and virtuous soldiers. Among other Regiments, we are quite unique in a number of ways. We place great emphasis on practicing accurate military structure and tactics of the Napoleonic Era. Among our ranks will be found no self-proclaimed generals leading handfuls of privates, but rather meaningful structure based on the size of our unit. Furthermore, we are committed to developing and practicing tactics of the period (with regard to practicality and feasibility in the setting of MM), to a level unrivaled by any existing Regiment. For these purposes, we are looking for intelligent, humble, and mature recruits willing and able to listen, learn, and contribute.
Expectations
Whether as a recruit, or a full-fledged soldier, our members are expected to do the following:
1) Learn and follow the Code of Conduct
2) Learn, and become proficient in basic Tactics and Skills
3) Be relatively active, attend trainings when possible, and alert your Platoon Leader if you are unable to participate or are taking an extended leave.
4) Display humility, respect, and motivation.
Those who can do these four things will find themselves a good match for the 1st, and will be prime candidates for promotion should they be proficient and willing to take on leadership roles.
Code of Conduct
As general guidelines, members are to practice the following points:
1. Be respectful to everyone. This includes your comrades in the 1st, members of other regiments, public players, admins, officers, non-commissioned officers, and people on the forums.
2. Conduct yourself in a professional and mature manner. This means that cursing, glitching, trolling, flaming, and name calling or other forms of fighting are not allowed. This is especially important when we are in events or on a public server.
3. Follow Orders. It is paramount for the survival of the regiment that all orders given by our Offiziere and Unteroffizieren are followed to the letter and without question or argument. There is a time and place to discuss tactics and whether or not certain orders should be given or not. Directly after the order is given is not one of those times. This also applies to the Rules laid out by admins on their servers. We respect the right of admins to run their channels.
4. Do not retaliate. Regardless of the situation, if something is done to you (IE Teamkill, insult, etc) you are not to retaliate, but are instead to inform an officer or admin and report the problem. Anyone found retaliating will be dealt with in the same manner as the original offender.
Teamspeak
Teamspeak is a vital means of communication in this regiment and contributes greatly to our overall cohesion and functioning. However, certain requirements are to be upheld if it is to continue to remain open for your use.
1. Our Code of Conduct applies to teamspeak as well. The form of game play being used will carry over to teamspeak. If we are in "training" mode, excess chatter and off-topic discussion will not be allowed.
2. In adherence to common courtesy and the professional, mature community which we intend to uphold, members will uphold a respectful attitude at all times, limit the use of profanity, and refrain from obscene topics.
If you have any problems on teamspeak with other members of the 1st, or non-members in our channel, inform an officer and they will deal with it.
We use our own Teamspeak Server 74.91.116.171. You do not need a mic, but everyone will need to have TeamSpeak for trainings and events in order to hear orders.

Organization of the Regiment
Historically, a full strength regiment is composed two battalions; each in turn being comprised of multiple companies. In the historical Prussian Army, a battalion consisted of 4 companies, and was nearly 800 men strong. However, for the purposes of the 1stEPI and the scale of Mount&Musket, a battalion shall consist of two or more companies, and maintain a minimum field strength of 40-80 men rank and file. The strength of a battalion on paper will be roughly double this amount.
The 1st East Prussian Regiment is currently Battalion size, and maintains a field strength of 50+ men.
*Rank Structure
Our rank structure is based on the size of our unit. Given that we are currently Battalion size, the highest rank is currently that of Major and Company commander is that of Kapitan (Captain). The current rank structure is as follows:

*Organization of the Company
The Kompanie is the smallest unit to complete itself, and should be able to field at least 20 men rank-and-file. For this purpose, given an average attendance rate of 50-66% for any given event, at least 40 active members should be maintained on paper. The unit is ran at the company-level by the Kapitan (Captain) and Feldwebel (Company Sergeant Major).
