I know that one of the books gives some info on
units organization.
Most likely Tactics of
Mistake.

Can't be more
specific because I made those notes back in the 70s.

I don't recall that 'Tactics of Mistake' actually mentioned the dorsai.

As I recall, it was an Army veteran (w/ a MOH!) from earth that used various trickery & misdirection accomplish his goals..

Also, the earth was still 'balkanized' politically..

===============================================================================================

Tactics of Mistake was where that veteran founded the organized mercenary culture of the Dorsai. They'd been a planet of mercenaries before that, known as being better than average but still fairly disorganized beyond the company or even battalion level.
