Office of the National Army (Faneria)

The office of the Federal Army is one of the six major Offices of Government in the Federal State of Kistan, and operates as the armed forces of the nation. It should be noted that, while called an 'army', it also includes the nation's naval, air, and strategic military assets due to the organizational structure of the Office. Due to its nature as a military force, its hierarchy is radically different to the civilian branches of the government. The Federal Army is the only one of the Six-Office System which responds primarily to the Office of the Despotate.

Pre-national Forces
- kern skirmishers primarily, armed with darts and later javelins and shortswords with cloth, later padded or other light armor; armored mercenaries and a few professional house cavalry guards or knight-equivalents

Rethysian Levy System
- cavalry divided into lancers and maneuver/skirmish/chaser wings (focus on charge vs light cavalry, favoring the light for rapid maneuver with a small core of heavy chargers) - infantry organized into proper men at arms pulled directly from noble houses to serve for a term of 4 years - engineer and supply organizations formalized

Combined Royal Army
- army reorganized into conscription system with nobles as officers - later, nobles lose rights due to a coup by the monarch solidifying central power

Organization
Standard Unit Types:

Infantry: Light, Motorized/Mechanized, Garrison

Armor: Light, Normal

Artillery: Light, Field, Self-Propelled, Anti-Air Field, Anti-Air Self Propelled, Field Rocket, Self-Propelled Rocket, Self Propelled Missile, Anti-Tank Field, Anti-Tank Self-Propelled

Support: Hospital, Logistics/Quartermaster, Signal, Headquarters, Engineering, Ordinance, Recon (Cavalry, Motorized Cavalry, Air Cavalry)

Generally speaking, a Rhon will be marked as Infantry, Armor, or Support, with Infantry and Armor Rhonn containing their own support Bragadts, Catalionn, and Cuartoris; a Support Rhon is composed of several identical noncombat Bragadts with additional support units under a more robust command staff to support local Chorp operations as required. In some cases, additional combat support formations (i.e. Recon or Ordinance) may be attached temporarily to a Rhon or even to a Bragadt within a Rhon - for example, an ad-hoc formation created to counter an armored advance may be assigned an entire anti-tank Catalion per frontline Bragadt in addition to or instead of the one assigned under direct Rhon command, tripling or quadrupling the usual anti-tank armament of the formation as a whole (assuming full staff and supply).

Medical, Signals, and other support formations typically are grouped into Cuartori or at most Bragadt, but normally these personnel are distributed throughout the larger formations they serve with to fulfil their roles directly. Proper formations of these may be grouped into information centers, field or proper hospital units, etc.

Standard Chorp: Composed of one Headquarters Cuartori, three combat Rhon, and one support Rhon. Other units are usually attached at this organizational level for specialized tasks.

Standard Combat Rhon:

Standard Support Rhon:

Air Service Catalionn: Composed of a Pilot/Technical Cuartori and a logistical Cuartori; 400 men in total typically operating anywhere from 4-40 aircraft depending on type.

Air Supply Bragadt: Composed of one Headquarters Cuartori, one medical Cuartori and a logistics Catalion; 1000 men in total commanding and supporting 2-6 Air Service units.

Army Sea Bureau
Going into the second quarter of the century, the composition of the Army naval service is changing as older, larger warships become slightly less prominent compared to a larger force of smaller surface combatants. While the light support carrier doctrine employed by the Army remains a key point in Fhainnin strategy within the ______ Sea and in its littoral waters along the open ocean, budget cuts and the lack of a serious neighboring rival make lobbying for a larger navy a weak political position. Currently, the Army plans to phase out much of its older surface fleet in favor of modern designs. While the total number of heavy surface combatants will drop, a larger array of small vessels is planned. Forays into missile boats in particular are in vogue for white-water operations, though the overall trend in modern naval design is a greater integration of air assets with naval ones, as evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of new designs take landing pads into account compared to older Fhainic designs, many of which lagged behind in this area.
