Load Rate for troops ?

[scout1]

Manual has a load rate for troops defined as 250+ (75*Port Size). That would mean a rate of 1000 for a port size of 10. Ignoring modifiers for the time being, just what are the units for the rate of 1000 in this example per 12 hour phase ? 1000 men/12 hour phase ? A unit with 10,000 men would require 10 12 hour phases (or 5 full days to load) ? I'm ignoring equipment here as well for simplicity.....

Any insights would be appreciated ....

I am not sure exactly but what I do know is that if I stay within the port load limits and that means not allowing the port to go into red. Red means you are overloading your port then I find I can load all the troops I want plus most of the suppy in my first day. Supply always seems to take longer to load for some reason.
There is a thread discussing this in detail. I just need to remember which thread it was discussed on here amonst the hundred's of threads already existing on this site regarding WIPAE. LOL

Let me try this question another way ....

In the original WitP (obviously didn't have port and load limitations per se), if a player wanted to load a unit on a single turn (ie during the orders phase), one merely had to show up with lift capacity which was 2x to 3x required. That worked for an entire division .....

Now in AE, assuming the port is large enough, does this still hold true ? Does over capacity of lift resources speed net load times ...... Just want to get an idea as to what to expect .... Also, where to move (which ports) the IJA divisions on the Home Islands to economize load times. I'd rather not learn on the first few turns (the hard way) as the early game for Japan is key ....

Thanks for any insights/experience in advance .....

I had only just finished painting all of my Manila subs a lovely pink colour when you came along and sank them all...
