That minimum is also an absolute minimum for crewing the guns. Ideally we'd have more.

So, I asked for a list on the discord and got this
"there are
1x Red unit
8x Orange units
28x Yellow units
currently you own
4x cranes
12x flatbeds
8x fuel trucks
36x standard trucks
4x scroop trucks
long standard containers and short standard containers of forty units combines
scroop containers of twenty units
3x Jeeps
2x Balfour Wolfhound 40mm field guns
2x bicycles
2x busses
and small arms and sundry explosives as needed"
As far as bunks are concerned, we have 26 bunks, with 37 active personnel.

During Allsight the 15th had 18 drivers moving shells for four guns and it just about kept up with demand. Past performance is no guarantee of future success and all that, but our regiment should expect to have just as many people driving supply trucks as are manning any guns (assuming a logistics regiment is also providing deliveries). We also need a bit of organic security and some combat builders.
...That's already starting to look like a lot of peoples.

"comfortable" staffing levels are easily into the triple digits by my guess

Green recruitment gives a lot of people already, we don't really need the fame boost to it. If we were doing Yellow or Orange recruitment that'd be different. Also, space issues.
Finally, does anyone know how long a turn actually is? I feel like this should be obvious, but if it was mentioned somewhere I forgot it. We have a month before Hooker's Wild Ride begins, but I don't actually know how long that is in terms of actions and it's throwing off my planning.
EDIT: OK, found it. Each turn is a month.

Technically its like two weeks plus or minus a bit, yeah. I went down from month turns because they messed with some timing re: tech, concrete, and r-mat/comps faming.

I mathed it out once in the discord, I think a Fully Operational Battery of 150mm guns required something like 112~ people? Either way, you need a lot of warm bodies to make an artillery regiment work. They're actually the second-most manpower intensive regimental type in the game, next to Cataphract regiments (assault armored cavalry) and Naval Infantry regiments who share the top slot.
Listen its not actively a blizzard out you'll be fine.
there is exactly one circumstance when you want less dudes, and that's tax season

Pretty much. Artillery is a massive drain on manpower. Though, we might be able to get away with offloading certain things to other units who detach personnel to us. Like the unit security to a Frontline infantry unit and the logi to a Sustainment regiment. Though, personally, if we can swing it, I'd definitely be happy to grow that large so we can effectively do our job with aplomb. At any rate, doing so would constitute using over 1% of all Warden Manpower in the game. And since manpower will go down over time, that proportion will only increase. Artillery is powerful, but it's also a big investment.During Allsight the 15th had 18 drivers moving shells for four guns and it just about kept up with demand. Past performance is no guarantee of future success and all that, but our regiment should expect to have just as many people driving supply trucks as are manning any guns (assuming a logistics regiment is also providing deliveries).

Anyways, as time goes on, I'm increasingly upset about Hooker's proposed op. There's too much to do, and I'm convinced that a month, the estimate that Hooker put as the timer, isn't going to be enough to do it.
Things on our plate:
-Better Logi (whether trains or flatbeds)
-Mass recruitment (minimum doubling of size just to man the guns)
-Mass training (particularly of Arty, but others as well wouldn't go amiss, like officer training)
-Mass building of bunks to allow recruitment
-Finishing off Allsight/Fort November
-Operational planning for Hooker's op
This is just too much for the 15th, even if some things, like logi get taken off our hands thanks to the 9th, but others can't be reassigned. Particularly everything else on that list, unless you want to let Hooker do all the planning for us, knowing what he's like. At a projected two more turns, we have enough time to fix one of the above issues, maybe two if we can con someone into helping out.
The better play from the 15th's perspective is to finish the op in Allsight and reduce Fort November, then readjust, reconsolidate, and fix the issues that led into Allsight before doing another operation. We are not in a good position to actually attack, which is why the assault on Allsight had big issues, but Hooker is pushing it, so we're kinda fucked on the timing since it's now out of our control.

"Don't you mean nudes?"
"No! We're attacking the Colonials and we need more men! Or girls, I'm not that picky." -Col. Orr
No one disagrees to getting those railroads built. I am just trying to get more officers (especially a builder) and not sacrfice you know actually being able to fire our guns in the first place.
Weather isnt to bad and they can camp outside in trucks for some time and we really really need the dammn numbers. And of some leave eh its greens we have loads of them.

Emphasis added by me. We're also getting double the materials right now and the way I see it is that we can get enough people enlisted by the time the op rolls around without getting a second mass recruitment wave. There's every possibility of people just leaving right now if we try to go beyond our already bursting capacity and people leaving for QoL reasons don't start from lowest rating first.
