No.

 

[Sigtrygg]

The numbers don't add up:
0.60 rest area
0.28 belongings
0.14 cleanliness
0.05 luxuries
1.07 total - what is the other 0.28 tons used for?

Ok that makes sense.

Have you mapped out the floor area of these volumes to get an idea of how much actual 'room' each soldier has?

In Traveller, a large scale troop movement would have troops frozen in low berths, possibly in modular units in the cargo holds of merchant marine ships.

Strategic, since you'll have to thaw them out and get them up to speed.

But considering the billions of souls available in each subsector, a general levy seems to make more sense.
