The group of people historically credited with first modernizing and organizing an army using the “deca system” (units of 10) are the ancient Turks, particularly during the time of the Göktürks and earlier Xiongnu (Hunnic) confederations.
Key Points:
Deca System (Tithing System): This military organization divided the army into hierarchical units:
•Arban (10 soldiers)
•Zuun (100 soldiers)
•Mingghan (1,000 soldiers)
•Tumen (10,000 soldiers)
This structure is often associated with the later Mongol military system under Genghis Khan, but the Turkic peoples predated this usage and likely served as the model. The Mongols inherited and perfected it from earlier Turkic traditions.
Chinese historical sources also describe how the Xiongnu (widely regarded as early Turkic or proto-Turkic) used decimal organization in both governance and military.
Significance:
•The Turkic “deca system” revolutionized military logistics, command, and mobility.
•It allowed for swift deployment, efficient communication, and strong centralized command—features that later inspired numerous empires.
In summary, the ancient Turks, especially through the Göktürks and earlier Xiongnu, were pioneers of the organized military “deca system” that greatly influenced Eurasian warfare traditions.

Nice song, bad memories, move on. If you try to open up old wounds you too shall face your own demons with those fingers you’d like to point at us. Morea massacre, Tripolitsa massacre, Navarino massacre, where innocent Turkish civilians were brutally butchered by Greeks and the list goes on and on. These borders of our sovereign nation are ours, if you want to change them then it means you wish for war, which makes you and anyone like you warmongers and warmongers get what they deserve. Seek for peace instead of cherry-picking old grudge filled chapters from history, because we have many as well, we just choose not to bitch about it. Better we sit and drink together enjoying mezzes and good music rather than poking at old wounds.
@Book_of_Rules@Eagle_force_555@Dragonsoul9Fire I addressed your claim and asked you a question first. Know the decorum of engagement madam. Instead you’re asking questions against the question posed at you. This is getting quite unbecoming.
