I would go for a basic company code - easy to work out who is who
IE - Company number - Strike force letter (if relevant) - Squad Number (if relevant) - Position Number
For Example the Sgt of the Forth Companies 2nd Devestator Squad i.e 10th Squad (Which in my example is part of Strike Force Charlie) would be:-
Brother Sgt Antonius Dionysius - 4 Charlie 10 - 1
So for our current players and NPCs
Company Command:
Captain: Eulaus Antonius (NPC) - 4-1
Company Chaplain: Claudius Perphius (NPC) - 4-2
Apothecary: Numerius Silvanus - 4-3
Techmarine:
?? - 4-4
Strike Force Alpha
Force Commander: Rallus Zenodius - 4 Alpha
Tactical Squad:
Fireteam Charlie
Brother Sergeant: Manius Agrippa - 4 Alpha 1-1
Weapons Specialist: Demoades Achilles - 4 Alpha 1-2
Designated Marksman: Marcus Camillus - 4 Alpha 1-3
Battle Brother: Roland Muleto - 4 Alpha 1-4
Battle Brother: Jacen Cartern - 4 Alpha 1-5
Fireteam Delta
Support Gunner: Kraytirous Shalluat - 4 Alpha 1-6
Vehicle Specialist: Diaclois Amores - 4 Alpha 1-7
Battle Brother: Guillford Flavius - 4 Alpha 1-8
Battle Brother: Tiberius Valerius - 4 Alpha 1-9
Battle Brother:
- 4 Alpha 1-10
Scout Squad:
Brother Sergeant: Julius Quintus - 10 Alpha - 1-1
Scout Section Alpha
Scout Novice: Andrus Taranius - 10 Alpha - 1-2
Scout Novice: Lucas Raziel - 10 Alpha - 1-3
Scout Novice: Petronius Commodus - 10 Alpha - 1-4
Scout Section Bravo
Scout Novice: Magnus Calpurnius - 10 Alpha - 1-5
Scout Novice:Cassius Tabrias - 10 Alpha - 1-6
Scout Novice: Narek Goloar - 10 Alpha - 1-7
So an Assault Squad added to Strike Force Alpha might look like this : -
Assault Squad 7:
Brother Sergeant: Gnaeus Pulo - 4 Alpha 7-1
Weapons Specialist: Kaeso Hostilius - 4 Alpha 7-2
Battle Brother: Lucius Scopias - 4 Alpha 7-3
Battle Brother: Oppius Maro - 4 Alpha 7-4
Battle Brother: Quintus Tiburtius - 4 Alpha 7-5
The Dreadnaught "Brother Cato Valerian" added to Strike Force Alpha might simply be reffered to by name due to the honor attached to such a venerable Brother.
