Commander Dzeferson,

consider yourself reinstated, you will retain your former rank as Commander of the Bretonian Armed Forces spacebourne arm. Report for briefing at the HMS Elephant tomorrow at 0800 New London main time.
I value an officer who does not think he knows it all and is willing to improve and adapt to the changing challenges our great house faces. And while I am sure your tactical mind will be put to good use in the fleets I think your potential would be wasted deployed only in a theater you are evidently not feeling quite at home in. You will get your infantry division, but it will not be an active duty one for now.
I want you to develop it into a testbed for our ground fores modernisation. We used to yield a massive force of conscripted citizens in the gallic war, a necessity of defensive war of this scale and time. Now Bretonia needs these men and women to rebuild our nation.
While the process of downsizing and professionalising our ground forces is making good progress, we certainly have to take the opportunity to incorporate new tactics and doctrines that will give us a head start in the next conflict.
We will discuss the details of your assignment in the coming days, I eagerly await your arrival.

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacob McIntire
