Proposed article on caretaker detachment

I'm thinking of creating a short article on military caretaker detachments in general, planning on the title "Caretaker (military)". One issue is that this article is linked to "caretaker" in a number of articles. However, this article is specific to the US and Confederate armies, and the US Army discontinued the rank of Ordnance Sergeant in 1920, though use of caretaker detachments was common through 1940 or so. An article on the general subject of military caretakers would be more open to including other countries' situations and post-1920 caretaking efforts. Comments are welcome.

• The linking of this article via caretaker or caretaker detachment, as apparently has been done, is definitely suboptimal and essentially wrong; as it is about the rank and not ordnance personnel or ordnance duties in general and also doesn´t include other caretaker duties or positions. So a new article and a correction of said links wouldn´t be wrong. However I suppose if you want more input the best way is to directly bring it to the talk page of WPMILHIST. ...GELongstreet (talk) 21:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
