SYNTAX
[##:##] Command : demobilize
The demob command returns soldiers from the military back to civilian life.
In addition, you have the option of placing the returning GI's into the
nation's active reserve. The active reserve provides a pool of available mil-
itary for a small salary (usually the same amount generated by a civilian) and
provides for quick mobilization of military during a threat to national secu-
rity.
If is a positive number, that many military will be demobilized in
each sector, regardless of any military already there.
If is a negative number, military beyond - will be demobi-
lized in each sector.
As a result of demobilization, and as a "thank you" for serving their country
in its time of need, a "GI Bill" is given to each soldier to the tune of $5
each.
Troops can only be demobilized in sectors which have greater than 60% effi-
ciency, and only in "home sectors" (that is, not in occupied territory).
When troops are successfully demobilized in a given sector, the number of new
civilians is printed, and the number in parentheses shows the total number of
military left in that sector.
You have the option of placing civilians on active reserve. Civilians on
active reserve can later be enlisted but you must pay them to stay on. Gener-
ally civilian on active reserve costs one tenth of what a military costs.
