The Army began to dramatically increase the size of its regular forces in [[1927]]. A significant debate had occurred throughout most of the 1920s regarding the adequacy of quickly mobilizing the [[Royal Army Volunteers (Urcea)|Royal Army Volunteers]] in the event of another Great War. | |||
Controversially, the Royal Army Cavalry was functionally disbanded as a combat unit during the 1920s and any further development of mobile warfare was done in tandem with the traditional leadership of the infantry: an {{wp|armored brigade}} was organized for the first time in [[1925]], and the first Urcean {{wp|armored division}} was created in [[1929]] following the various exercises that occurred between 1926 and 1928. The Royal Army Cavalry had never been an especially large or prestigious branch of the Royal Army and, accordingly, had very little influence to stop its own sidelining. Champions of the Cavalry in the [[Concilium Daoni]] ensured that the horse-based combat unit would remain in existance until [[1935]], but by that time the Cavalry had been largely destroyed during the early battles of the [[Second Great War]] and no horsemen were trained and available to replace the losses. | Controversially, the Royal Army Cavalry was functionally disbanded as a combat unit during the 1920s and any further development of mobile warfare was done in tandem with the traditional leadership of the infantry: an {{wp|armored brigade}} was organized for the first time in [[1925]], and the first Urcean {{wp|armored division}} was created in [[1929]] following the various exercises that occurred between 1926 and 1928.
