How did Genghis Khan organize his military?
My military was organized for maximum efficiency and discipline. We moved in decimal units – units of 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000. Each unit had a commander, and loyalty was paramount. Information flowed swiftly, and orders were carried out without hesitation. Our cavalry was our strength, swift and adaptable, capable of overwhelming the enemy. We learned from those we conquered, adopting their siege techniques and technologies when they proved useful. The entire empire was geared towards the needs of war and expansion. Decisive action wins the day.
