First find how many orcs there are total by multiplying the number of orcs per squad by the number of squads: 8 orcs/squad * 10 squads = <<8*10=80>>80 orcs

Then divide the total amount of swords by the number of orcs to find the amount of swords per orc: 1200 pounds / 80 orcs = <<1200/80=15>>15 pounds/orc
