I've been playing this game WAY too long not to figure this out on my own, but I'm finally going to give up and ask for some help please  .

I know how to activate/deactivate dwarves, and how to promote them, but I can't figure out how to control what squad dwarves go into when they are promoted, or how to move them from squad to squad afterwards, or any other method to keep them all from going into the same squad.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This one is easy.
Military acts as sort of a tree based thing.
Lets say you have a few military dwarves. Lets call them Phil, Bill, and Jill.
Okay, hit enter on Phil to activate promotion.
Now, until you hit 'space' to stop promoting, any other dwarf tree will be taken directly under Phil.
So if, say, Jill was already subordinate to Bill, and you promoted Bill to beneath Phil, you would have:
Phil
+Bill
++Jill

If you were then to promote Jill, this would rearrange to be:
Phil
+Bill
+Jill

If at any time you were to begin promotion of a dwarf beneath Phil, and hit enter a second time on that dwarf, that dwarf and all dwarves under him or her will be promoted into their own squad.

Have I confused you yet?

Ah ok.  Thanks, I thought the 'stop promoting' meant that can't promote this dwarf any farther or something.
