Many thanks to Nathan Ross for his detailed - and excellent - reply. A pity that our more modern practice of keeping diaries and producing memoirs was not common in these times; nor their results preserved! Certainly the reflections of a camp prefect upon his time in the service would be invaluable. I suppose that I should not be surprised that the person-centric approach applied to the Roman military rather than the process-centric approach common to modern organizations. This also suggests that - at a point in time - some legions were well-equipped, and forward-looking to their needs; while others with poorer leadership were not.
