I got most of the things about the military down, but I"m confused about barracks. Do I need to have as many weapon racks/armor stands/coffers/cabinets as dwarfs in a squad assigned to barracks, or just a 1 of each?

I understood that Squad EQ is for storing crossbow bolts and the IndivEQ is for armor storage.

I think it depends on the size of the things that need to be stored, as containers have a size-based limit.

I want to think just one of each.  I've never seen dwarfs use the armor stands or weapon racks for anything.  They will drop their armor/weapons all over the barracks and not use the stands/racks or usually even put them back in the bin.

A looong time ago, IIRC, armor stands and weapon racks were actually used as storage, but for now they are just to designate the barracks from. Cabinets and Containers (in barracks) however seem to be intended for use, but it seems pretty buggy. I mainly achieved big piles of single prepared meals on top of containers so far that luckily don't seem to rot.
