Organization
The EZC's unique duty is to represent the Federalist Party as the only military body that is governed and funded by a political party. However, the command structure is such that EZC retains some form of autonomy by only reporting to one governing body.
Federalist Party President: Gnilraps
The Commander-in-Chief of EZC is the elected Federalist Party President. He/she oversees all military operations and ranks. The only position that directly reports to the Party President is the Military Director.
Easy Company Commander: Gnilraps
It is the duty of the Commander to promote the increase of damage done in battles by EZC through advancements in strength and rank. The Commander keeps the militia running smoothly by managing personnel and having the final say in all logistical decisions. The Commander will set the direction of the militia including determining: Policy, deployment and battle priorities, establishing goals for the organization and to establish and maintain relations with the OMS and other government and political party contacts as required. The Position of EZC Commander will ALWAYS be held by a Federalist.
Executive Officer: MollyEmma & Sozo
The Executive Officer shadows the Commander, learns the ropes of all the goings on in the Militia, and helps with the coordination of activities. It is the XO's duty to fill in for the Commander when he/she is away.

Divisions
All enlisted soldiers are assigned to a specific Squad, lead by a Squad Leader. The Squad Leader in turn answers reports to the Executive Officer and then the Commanding Officer. This chain, from squad to XO, and from XO to CO, comprises the Chain of Command.
At its lowest level, the Chain of Command is put in place to assist with the delegation of duties. The Squad Leader, for example, gives orders to the enlisted soldiers under their command; the same Squad Leader, however, answers to the Company Commander. This chain runs, unbroken, from the newest enlisted soldier to the Party President.

History
One dark day in the midst of a losing campaign against eHungary and the tragically-named PEACE, ePoland and EDEN knew despair. But despair did not intimidate the likes of citizenslave, MitchRapp, MourningStar, Qubert18, Eotrick a dozen others. A plan was hatched; a plan known as Operation Polish Sausage.
The original Polish Sausage
Polish Sausage was built on the idea that some dedicated eUS citizens would be willing to temporarily relocate; to fight abroad in defense of eUSA allies. In it’s first ever action, EZCompany quite literally proved to be the decisive blow as the battle clock expired.
A sizzling success, Polish Sausage remained linked together. But the vision was larger than merely one battle in Central Slovakia. Polish Sausage would one day become EZCompany, the Federalist Party militia that continues to operate all over the eGlobe, oftentimes in clandestine affairs, always tightly bound to the interests of eUSA.
Polish Sausage was not exclusively Federalist. It was inspired by Federalists, Federalist ideals, and Federalist Party action. But Polish Sausage was (like EZCo has been) populated by eUSA citizens from many political parties. The concept of the party militia, as it was conceived in Polish Sausage and EZCo, is a true extension of the Federalist ideology that what is good for the country is good for the party and vice-versa.
While Polish Sausage was the operational code name during eRep days 722 and following, by day 740 the vision had expanded and there was talk of “Easy Company”. These were the hard core soldiers forging a militia that still, on day 834, continues to go airborne in defense (or offense!) of the interests of eUSA.
There has been the Polish Deployment, the original Spanish Campaign, the fight against France, a second Spanish Campaign, the Croatian Campaign, the battle for London, a stint in Brazil, and numerous home-based fights. Each time, EZCompany has supplied its soldiers with weapons and food to maximize damage and effectiveness.
To even further maximize effectiveness, EZCompany developed a commune system of membership and employment. Members work for approved, contracted companies for minimum wage (regardless of experience) in exchange for their food and munitions (and moving tickets). This results in companies who stand at the ready to supply EZC with whatever it needs. Given the mechanics of eRepublik, it is a system that works quite well. For EZC members, the sacrifice in income is minimal, and far outweighed by the mission, the camaraderie, and the experience. No few USD can ever purchase what a tour with EZC offers.
There is no strength requirement for membership in EZC, just an understood commitment to be at the ready for deployment anywhere. Hard worker medals, political aspirations, even personal wealth are often sacrificed to some extent by this brave band.
