Do soldiers have a crew of their own that they are put in charge of when they are made? Im wondering if the promotion of being made comes with being a gang-leader with your own underlings.
Its a newbie question I know, but trying to learn more about how the structure of the mob works. I was slightly confused when I read that the Philly mob has more soldiers that it does associates so it seems like the soldiers in that family are basically on their own. Absolutely, so do associates in many cases. Here's a good example of the Bonannos with a crew in Florida led by associates Thomas Fiore and the Rubbo brothers. Alessi also has ties to New England. https://www.fbi.gov/miami/press-releases/2009/mm052109.htmhttp://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2009-05-22/news/0905210517_1_medicare-fraud-crimes-indictment

Once you're made, you earn the right to start your own crew, officially called ''Cliques'' I think.

Isn't that the purpose of a captain? A boss needs to ok a hit. I know that... I meant as far as the thread title Captains run the crews...so anything under a soldier ultimately falls under that captain I would assume

Some soldiers have more and some have fewer associates in their crew. Some associates worked for more than one crew if they were not on record. Guys like DeMeo and Spilotro had big crews. DB was a capo without a crew. How big was Spilotro's crew in Vegas? In general how big is typically a soldier's "clique"?

DB was a capo without a crew. How big was Spilotro's crew in Vegas? In general how big is typically a soldier's "clique"? bronx is right as in there are really no set amounts and can vary widely from family to family...even from crew to crew... But if I had to put a number on NY families average members of soldiers to a crew...I would say roughly 8-10 if I had to guess.. Then you figure on what...2 to 3 associates per soldier? So I guess it depends on if you mean how many made guys are in a crew under the capo ...or counting the made guys as well as any associates that are officially on record. If you count them, you are looking at 30 total guys in a crew. If you only want to count made guys you are looking at closer to 10. IMO
