Excellent points about the Soviet army. I wonder if the Germans were similar back in WW2.

If the rank and file are merely disposable (and it seems Vader regards everyone as disposable), then it really wouldnt matter if there was competent leadership on the ground. Just throw more troops at it until its dead/destroyed.

If such is the case, then perhaps it makes sense to operate no lower than the platoon level, and it could also explain why the rebels are able to out maneuver the Imps. With one LT trying to command 40 guys, things arent as fluid as a 10-man squad with 2 or 3 NCOs in it to command smaller elements in real time.
