==== Rebuilding the army =====
Kaladin promoted [[Moash]], [[Skar]], [[Teft]], [[Sigzil]], and [[Rock]] to lieutenants, a rank equivalent to that of a sergeant in companies made solely of lighteyes, because he needed a rank between squadleader and captain to form a command structure for a thousand men.{{book ref|sa2|2}} Kaladin set up a rotation to protect [[Dalinar]] and his sons, always assigning himself, Moash or Skar for the Blackthorn. During this time, he was encouraged to send some of his men to the king’s guard to learn from them.
 
After the massive casualties at the [[Battle of the Tower]], Kaladin was tasked with turning the remaining bridgemen into a standing army. He promoted [[Teft]], [[Moash]], [[Skar]], [[Rock]] and [[Sigzil]] to lieutenants, a rank between a captain and sergeant, to form a command structure for a thousand men. He named Rock to quartermaster, with [[Lopen]] as his second, to be in charge of the food. He appointed [[Sigzil]] to be their clerk as he was the only one who could read glyphs.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
After a small council, Dalinar wished for Kaladin and his men to take on more duties extending to protecting [[Navani]] and eventually including the King himself. Kaladin complained that his men were stretched thin, but Dalinar said he was not alone in that problem.{{book ref|sa2|5}}
 
Kaladin then put Teft in charge of the training, suggesting that he combine the remaining bridgemen into twenty crews and train two members in each to go back and train the others. Kaladin promised a few men to assist Teft with his training, explaining that would have to do as most of [[Bridge Four]], including Moash and Skar, would be needed to keep [[Dalinar]] alive. Without Dalinar, Kaladin explained that they would just be sold back to [[Sadeas]]. There was also the threat of the Assassin in White, with word spreading that the emperor of [[Azir]] was dead. He reminded Teft along with Moash and Skar that the Assassin in White had already killed [[Gavilar]] and that he just had to hope he was done. Regardless, they had to protect Dalinar at all costs.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
