How to set the squads to part time

How do I set my squads to part time?

I wish to have a squad of, say 9 dorfs, and then set it so that only 3 are active at any one time.

How would one go about this?

Thanks, Urists!

This is possible.

Go to the screen that allows you to edit the squad schedule. [military then schedule] enter image description here

Select the squad you want. [Using left and right arrows]

Select the month. [Up and down arrows]

Press the "tab" key to select a month.

Use e to edit orders. o to set them.

When editing/setting orders you can use [+ and -] to change how many Dwarves will follow that order at once. Change it to 3. (You can also set preferred Dwarves here who will be selected first to do the order.)

Press [shift + enter] to save the order for that month.

Use [c then p] to copy then paste the orders to other months. (Remember to give them months off.)
