Make sure the squad you want is highlighted under Squads/Leaders and then move the selector to the Position Uniform header. To apply one of your uniform templates, press U to open the Assign Uniforms sub-tab. The default sub-tab, View/Customize, will be open. While still in the military screen, press e to open the equipment tab. Uniforms are only created or modified in this tab, not applied. You can create new uniforms if you want, and add or remove items from any uniform (even the standard ones). Each listing under the 'Uniforms' header is essentially a pre-designed set of equipment that you can quickly apply to any individual soldier or entire squad, much like a template.

In the military screen, press n to open the uniforms tab.

Dwarves that are already in a military squad will have the name of that squad in the uppermost box, allowing you to skip them over if necessary. When you add a dwarf to one squad they will be removed from another for this reason you will always see the majority of your dwarves in the rightmost pane. No more than ten dwarves can be assigned to any one squad. Once the first squad has been created, you can then fill out the squad with any military-capable dwarves in your fort. (See Equipping Soldiers, below, for details.) The game creates three uniforms by default if you aren't sure what to use, or if you want to customize their uniform, choose No uniform. When you create a squad, you will be asked what uniform to give them. You can also create a new squad before you designate your militia commander the first dwarf you choose will automatically be assigned that position. When you have designated a commander or captain, going to the military screen will show that dwarf under the 'Squads/Leaders' heading and you'll notice an option to create a new squad. Squad captains can be designated through the nobles screen, or by creating a new squad on the military screen and then assigning a dwarf to the first position of that squad. The militia commander also serves as the leader of your first squad.Įach squad after the first will have its own captain, who reports to the militia commander. Your fortress can only have one militia commander, who acts as the commander-in-chief of all squads. Before you can do anything with your military you may want to go into the nobles screen ( n) and designate a militia commander.
