Structure of the Burgoignesc Army

Main article: Army of Burgundie

The current structure of the Army of Burgundie was codified in the Army of Burgundie Force Restructuring Act of 2003. It is divided into the Regular Army (Metropole Forces and the Foreign Legion) and the Legion of Volunteers and Levies. Some constituent countries further maintain a state defense forces (Faramount and Nostrestran), as a type of reserve that can be federalized through the Title 10 process. The Faramount Royal Defense Force is "organized", meaning that it is an armed force, the Nostrestran Militia System is "unorganized", meaning that all able-bodied citizens (of all genders) may be eligible to be called into military service.

The Army of Burgundie is also divided into several functional Corps. These Corps are headed by a school to maintain consistency of training and standards across the Regular Army, the Legion of Volunteers and Levies, and the state defense forces. While the total list of branches is exhaustive the most famous Corps are:

• Army Corps of Aviation (Burg: Corps Strates d'Aviacion)
• Army Corps of Engineering (Burg: Corps Strates d'Hyposthenie)
• Army Corps of Medicine (Burg: Corps Strates de Medicament)
• Army Corps of Military Police (Burg: Corps Strates des le Marechaussie)
• Army Corps of Special Operations (Burg: Corps Strates d'Operacions Especial)
• Army Corps of Cavalry (Burg: Corps Strates de Cavalerie)
• Army Corps of Artillery (Burg: Corps Strates d'Artillerie)
• Army Corps of Infantry (Burg: Corps Strates d'Infaterie)
• Army Corps of Logistics (Burg: Corps Strates de Tren)
• Army Corps of Military Intelligence (Burg: Corps Strates d'Intelligence Militaire)

Armored

The armored brigade is the principal maneuvering brigade, and primarily bases its strength on its tanks. It has two primary objectives:

• lead the way for the infantry in the front line, and help clear the area of enemy troops;
• breakthrough in areas where enemy troops are heavily entrenched or fortified;
• rapidly exploit holes in the enemy's lines to disrupt their rear echelon; and
• block the enemy's armored forces and destroy it.

Organization of a Burgoignesc cavalry string

A cavalry string (Burg: fils), so named because in horse breading a string refers to a collection of horses belonging to one man, in this case the Colonel (Burg:Propieteuer), commander of the unit. A string is typically made up of around 550 soldiers, and includes a headquarters company, 4 squadrons (3 active and one in reserve), a self-propelled artillery battery, a supply company, and a combat engineer company.

The armor support mobile artillery battery consists of a command element, 3 artillery platoons, and a reconnaissance and forward observation platoon.

• The command element consists of:
  • the CO in a Cross Trucking Company Serval ATLAS PCS with their driver and gunner;
  • the XO and the Chief Maréchal des logis in a Cross Trucking Company Titus; and
  • the communications sergeant and an assistant radioman in a Cross Trucking Company VAB ATLAS DLO.

Post-2026 reorged Cavalry Squadron.

The typical cavalry squadron (Burg: escadron) of in the Army of Burgundie is a unit of 46 soldiers commanded by a captain (Burg: Captaine). It is a grouping of 4 cavalry troops (Burg: troupes), each with two armored vehicles, primarily the Cross Trucking Company AMX-10 RCR and the Cross Trucking Company Jaguar. The senior most Troop leader, typically a 2LT (Burg: Elfereseuer) or a LT (Burg: Teniente). The most junior officer is often paired with the most senior NCO and they typically make up Troupe I. The officers, as an act of humility, ride in the older AMX-10 RCR and the NCOs ride in the newer Jaguars, with the exception of Troupe IV in which case both armored vehicles are Jaguars. This troupe is typically led by the most senior teniente, excluding the XO.

The command element consists of two Cross Trucking Company Jaguars, one each for the commanding officer (CO) (a captain (Burg: Captaine)) and the executive officer (XO) (typically the most senior lieutenant (Burg: Teniente)) who ride in addition to the 3 man crews in each armored vehicle. Both of these vehicles carry fewer rounds to accommodate these commanders. The element also includes a Cross Trucking Company Griffon its driver and gunner, 6 mechanics, and a medic. Additionally the CO's driver accompanies the CO's armored vehicle in a TerreRaubeuer Defender 90 and also serves the long range radio equipment in their truck. Lastly, the Maréchal des logis serves as the liaison to the String Train to coordinate forward sustainment, who drives a TerreRaubeuer Defender 110.

A section from the String Support Company is seconded to each Squadron and works directly with the Maréchal des logis to ensure supply and sustainment is maintained.
