personnel replenishment questions

[Burger]

does anyone understand in detail how squad disbandment and personnel replenishment works? there is no information anywhere with details on how it works

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2113753722

here squad #3 has IV CAT condition hence the equipment is decommissioned. does that mean this squad has lost effectiveness and will be disbanded? if so when does that happen?

- replenishes with personnel

does this mean this squad will receive available personnel from disbanded squads or that this squad will be disbanded to provide personnel?
does the recruits icon on the rightmost side with 3/1 mean this platoon will have 3 replacement personnel? if so how and when does this happen?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2113761760

I first thought that the recruits (3/1) was related to the squad with decommissioned equipment but in the second example that has 2 squads with IV CAT condition amounting to 4 men in total yet there is none available in the recruit icon

by disbanding an entire platoon I received 3 personnel to the right side of the reserve squads
is it correct that these personnel will be distributed throughout the regiment? if so when and how does that happen? I've had those 3 personnel replacements for a good 3 full turns (the campaign ended already) and it has not changed so I am at a complete lost on how it works

I also played a campaign with draft platoons, and like GTOS I placed them near a platoon with casualties on the operations phase yet it didn't replenish any personnel. what could be the reason?

I've been spending a good 2 days now trying to figure it out now any help would be appreciated. I also understand the complexity of diverse languages here creates a lot of confusing and misunderstanding when people explain things so some pictures to guide explanations would help.

Used as a "donor of personnel" for other units.

Has 3 people in 1 squad, which will be used for replenishment.

At the beginning of the player’s turn if needed.

It is not clear what is meant. If you disband a platoon, its units fall into the reserve of a regiment or division.

They will fall into the reserve of that unit (this may be different - regiment, division, battalion, etc) to which the platoon belongs.
And accordingly, they can be used inside this unit, like any other reserve units, by choosing a replenishment strategy for other platoons.

I do not quite understand what is meant. If you mean those 3 people from the HMG crew. This is not a reserve, and they won’t get anywhere, but will be used as necessary inside the battalion (there is a special mark with a “-” minus sign there). But for this, obviously someone needs this staff reserve.

For example, they belong to different units. It does not need to be placed near, it needs to be placed so that the supply lines reach.

I understand the reserve squads in the "unit reserves" but referring to the "personnel reserve (for the unit)" as in your included photo. how is this used if available? is this distributed automatically?

Yes, automatically, replenishes squads in platoons belonging to the unit.

Over time, we will simplify some replenishment schemes, and transfer them into 2 categories - squads and this one pool of personnel common for the unit.

Alright thanks a lot I think I have a good grasp of it. I read the manual over and over again but it's hard to understand what is pointed out but that picture really helped. Now I can actually understand what is being referred to in the manual. Thanks again!

the "personnel reserve for the unit" (I have 10 as shown) It's been 3 full turns and the number 10 still shows. how does this work?

See if the manpower reinforcement strategy is available

[Burger]

It's greyed out. I think the manpower reinforcement strategy is only to add available infantry squad reserves into the reserve slot of the platoon. If I understood andrey correctly, distribution of reserve personnel would be done automatically. Perhaps the squad needing reinforcement needs to be in the reserve squads for that to happen?

[Burger]

Okay figured it out for anyone interested in knowing. The personnel reserve for the unit will be automatically distributed to under-strength platoons of the unit in reserve status. Basically the platoons with casualties that you want to replenish must be taken out of a battle group and into reserve status for a turn.
