== Under Highprince Kholin ==
After [[Kaladin]] saves Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s life, Highprince Kholin repays him by securing the release of the entire bridge crew unit from Highprince Sadeas. He does this by giving his [[Shardblade]] [[Oathbringer_(Shardblade)|Oathbringer]] to Highprince Sadeas in exchange for the bridge crews' freedom.{{book ref|sa1|69}}
Following this, Highprince Kholin offers money and freedom to every member of the bridge crews, along with the opportunity to join Kholin's army as soldiers.{{book ref|sa1|73}} Very few bridgemen take Kholin's offer to leave, and Kholin is left with a full thousand-man battalion.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
Due to Kaladin's background in medicine, he has trained some members of the bridge crews in battlefield medicine, leading to the first deployment of combat medics on the battlefield.
Kaladin also creates a modernized command structure for the bridge crews. A typical Alethi army is organized around a very small number of lighteyed officers with a moderate amount of "citizen officers," the Alethi term for a non-commissioned officer.{{book ref|sa1|46}} Since the bridge crews have no lighteyes, and also because Kaladin believes this command structure to be lacking, he creates the position of lieutenant between himself and the sergeants who lead platoons. Additionally, he is considering expanding the size of his non-commissioned officer corps by adding the additional rank of "master sergeant."{{book ref|sa2|2}}
