The Army of Burgundie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''le Strates della Burgundie''), commonly called ''le Strates'', serves as the land-based branch of the [[Burgoignesc_Security_Forces#Civil_Defense_and_Security_Ministry|Civil Defense and Security Ministry in the Burgoignesc Security Forces]] in defense of the nation of [[Burgundie]] in particular, and [[The Burgundies]] in general. It is formed of two sections, the [[Army of Burgundie#Metropole Forces|Metropole Forces]] and the [[Army of Burgundie#Foreign Legion|Foreign Legion]]. The [[Army of Burgundie#Metropole Forces|Metropole Forces]] are not a standing army and as such, is best suited to {{wpl|fourth generation warfare}}, which is the basic doctrine of force. It relies entirely on small unit tactics and small, fast armored vehicles. This doctrine is born from the bloody origins of the nation, that presupposes that all citizens are soldiers and that massive standing home armies are too expensive for the threat levels that [[Burgundie]] has historically encountered. In the modern era this point is render largely moot by the heavy commitments the Army of Burgundie makes to the [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] (LUDC) meaning that full time soldiers and officers of the Army are stationed in [[Burgundie]] and across the [[Levantine Union]] through {{wpl|secondment}} to cooperative units of the [[Levantine Union Defense Council]]. Furthermore, while not a standing army, a 81,538-person reserve force is maintained in the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]], as well as the over 100,000 members of the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] stationed in the same jurisdiction.
On the other hand, the [[Army of Burgundie#Foreign Legion|Foreign Legion]] is a remnant of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]] and it serves as ''THE'' standing army of [[Burgundie]] and [[The Burgundies]]. While not on combat missions it serves as the garrison force, along with the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]] across the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. It is also the primary warfighting force of the Army of Burgundie and focuses its capabilities on {{wpl|expeditionary warfare}} and long term combat operations sustainment. The Foreign Legion primarily conducts {{wpl|Generations_of_warfare#Third_generation|third generation warfare}} as is typical for armies of the [[Occidental world]]. However, due to the {{wpl|asymmetric warfare}} that the Foreign Legion has engaged in for the last 70 years, it has created entire doctrines and units to embrace {{wpl|fourth generation warfare|fourth}} and {{wpl|Generations_of_warfare#Fifth_generation|fifth generations}} of warfare.
=Iconography=
The coat of arms (COA) and insignia of the Army is an escutcheon with an upper party per fess Gules and a lower Argent with a river in nombril point, with a badge of crossed lance and bill hook or. The Red signifies the high opinion of the blood spilled, the logistical ability of the army to get over any obstacle, and the lance represents the officers and the bill hook the soldiers. The lance recalls the Eques of the lans proviso, the bill hook the various other foot soldiers each man-at-arms would bring to accompany them.
=Heritage=
The Army of Burgundie's [[Army of Burgundie#Metropole Forces|Metropole Forces]] are rooted in the ideals and concepts of the [[Adonerii civilization]]. As such, much of its nomenclature and some of its structure is based in {{wp|Old Latin|Ancient Latinic}} terms and organization.
The Army of Burgundie's [[Army of Burgundie#Foreign Legion|Foreign Legion]] is rooted in the history and trappings of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]]. As such much of its nomeclature and much of its structure is based on the various cultures from which its units were recruited. While all ranks and structures have an official [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] name, it is more likely that the culturally appropriate term is used amongst Legionnaires and their officers. It is said of the ~50 brigade/regimental level units of the Foreign Legion that there are over 50 different ways to refer to privates, sergeants, and junior officers.
Uniformity is observed in combat uniforms, but dress uniforms vary widely and are left to the unit's commanding officer's Adjunct Historical Officer to maintain based on historical records. It is not required that units wear dress uniforms that are exact to a particular moment in time, it is rather observed that at the brigade/regimental level, uniforms will recall critical elements or items of dress from the units past.
There is a general predilection towards the image of dashing cavalry officers which came to signify the superiority and success of the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] in the [[First Fratricide]]. Almost all armored units in the Army of Burgundie carry the mid 19th century designation of their role in their unit name (e.g. heavy armor units are called {{wpl|cuirassier}}s, light armor units are called {{wpl|hussar}}s, scouting units are called {{wpl|dragoon}}s, and to a certain extent mechanized infantry are called {{wpl|voltieguer}}s).


Because of its non-permanent status, the majority of Burgundie's Army is best suited to fourth generation warfare, which is the basic doctrine of force. It relies entirely on small unit tactics and small, fast armored vehicles. This doctrine is born from the bloody origins of the nation, that presupposes that all citizens are soldiers and that massive standing armies are too expensive for the threat levels that Burgundie has historically encountered.


The arms and insignia of the Army is an escutcheon with an upper party per fess Gules and a lower Argent with a river in nombril point, with a badge of crossed lance and bill hook or. The Red signifies the high opinion of the blood spilled, the logistical ability of the army to get over any obstacle, and the lance represents the officers and the bill hook the soldiers. The lance recalls the Eques of the lans proviso, the bill hook the various other foot soldiers each man-at-arms would bring to accompany them.


= Mission =
= Mission =
The mission of the Army of Burgundie is:
* Preserve the peace and security, and providing for the defense of [[The Burgundies]], and any areas occupied by [[Burgundie]];
* Maintain and prepare against future threats to the sovereignty of [[Burgundie]];
* Implement the national objectives for land forces as determined by the national government of [[Burgundie]]; and
* Overcome any nations or parties responsible for aggressive acts that imperil the peace, security, or commerce of [[The Burgundies]].
==Strategic doctrine==
The Army works to achieve its mission through its strategic approach. The strategic approach is that the army is always prepared to:
*rapidly and with oppressive force, engage all enemies in a prompt, but fully logistically-support fashion;
*wage sustained land and cyber combat against any opponent, anywhere in the world;
*conduct combined arms operations with unified command structures, combat objectives, and communications;
*execute special operations in support of ongoing military operations;
*establish and sustain the theater or area of operations for joint forces operations; and
*liaison, integrate, and fight with valor alongside national, and multinational forces.
Due to almost a century of ''modern'' asymmetrical warfare experience, [[Burgundie]] has diverged from some of its contemporaries, namely [[Urcea]], whose focus is on peer and near-peer combined arms combat with a focus on massed armor. [[Burgundie]]'s doctrine focuses on the infantry and engineers and all [[Army_of_Burgundie#Organization|other corps]] are designed to support those smaller, agile, rapidly changing mission sets. This means that armored platoons are small (two armored vehicles per platoon) and are empowered to act autonomously in support of infantry in the area.
==Tactical approach==
''Le Strates'' prepares and expects all of its soldiers, at all levels, to take the initiative and take an adaptive approach to complete orders and meet objectives. It builds its command structure from the highest level to support all levels of maneuver units down to the battalion level. Focus on small formation tactics has led to ''le Strates'' to have an outsized and global logistical mechanism to "feed the beast". Because the majority of the army is not in an active-duty status (only the [[Army_of_Burgundie#Foreign_Legion|Burgoignesc Foreign Legion]] is a permanent full-time unit of le Strates), there is not a plodding bureaucracy resistant to change. ''Le Strates'' is adaptive to change, and often relies on, and therefore invests in, changes recommended by field-deployed personnel. The survivability of the individual soldier is considered the highest priority in achieving the mission and therefore the soldier's experience is the catalyst for changes in doctrine. However, since the [[Army_of_Burgundie#Foreign_Legion|Legion]] is the only standing element of the Army, it has a massive influence on tactical and strategic thinking.

In the 14th and early 15th century bands of mercenaries, whose contracts with their masters had expired, were the scourge of medieval Kingdom of Dericania. In the late 1430s, unemployed Derian mercenaries pillaged across southern Dericania. Eventually some were recruited by southern mercenary captains who hired them out to the royal companies raised by order of the local princes, who it seems regarded them as a major impediment to peaceful rule. They extorted protection money from local peasants as well as exacting tolls from passing merchants and holding local important people for ransom.

small forces relying on shock, mobility, individual initiative, and surprise when massed formations were still the hotness in the [[Occidental world]], reminiscent of modern small unit tactics.
 
In the early days of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] the [[Bergendii]] were few in number and their military hardware was left over from the [[Great Confessional War]]. It wasn't long before their incursions in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] were met with stiffening resistance from established power players with the military vestiges of the late [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Warlords, local strong men, and regional lords who could afford larger armies and fortified defenses were the scourge of the efforts at expansionism under the trappings of set piece [[Occidental]] battles. Soon the [[Bergendii]] shifted tactics, out of necessity, to make the most of their smaller numbers and increasingly archaic weaponry.
 
Creating numerous small units of men were specially selected and trained (often by local natives) to participate in {{wpl|sorties}} and {{wpl|razzia}} against much more numerous and fortified enemies became a fairly standard practice by [[Audonia]]n and [[Alshar]]i based [[Bergendii]] colonial governors. These were contemporaneously called the governor's land rovers ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: TerreRaubeuers), and were a purely offensive force. These units were never standardized but often shared common themes, they were meritocratic, not restricted by class, race, or creed. These units adopted the weapons of the area in which they operated so that resupply through raiding allowed for long-range raids deep into the enemies interior. Uniforms were eschewed in favor of traditional dress of the area of operations. Due to limitations of communications in the 17th-19th century, governors would give these units general objectives and targets and most importantly a timeframe, but leave it up to the leaders of the units to adjust to the realities on the ground. The timeframe became increasingly important as negotiations would be planned around these timeframes. Treaties or agreements would be stalled until the TerreRaubeuers would return and damage to a new alliance or arrangement after the fact wouldn't occur.
 
During the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in the 1790s-1830s this practice was reduced and eventually banned when the last of the colonies fell and the various colonial soldieries were consolidated into the Army of Burgundie.

|Training and Doctrine
Young Burgoigniacs receive their federal conscription orders for training at the age of 18, or after they have completed their high school studies. About two-thirds of the young Burgoigniacs are found suited for military service; for those found unsuited, various forms of alternative federal service exist. Annually, approximately 42,000 persons participate in the militia program which consists of a 3 month basic training period, three 30 day special skills training (sabotage/explosives, amphibious operations, long-range shooting), a two-month tactical decision-making class, a two month review training period, culmination in a month-long exercise. Four week-long leaves are provided as part of the program. Once the "year of service" is completed and voting citizenship is attained, citizens can volunteer to continue their participation in the Standardized Militia Program. Continuing participates receive the following benefits: 100% of the first higher education degree paid for, non-competitive status for federal jobs, a $500 tax break/annum, $10,000 stipend/annum and access to housing programs/preferential lending rates.

Following the [[Expulsion of the Protestants]] from [[Levantia]] during the [[Great Confessional War]], [[Burgundie]] was flooded with Protestants and a Duke that was hostile to their presence in [[Burgundie]]. As an attempt to deal with their persistent presence and under pressure from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and the Papacy, the Duke of Burgundie, created the Burgundian Foreign Legion as a way to displace them, but bolster his military power. At its conception in [[1577]], the unit consisted of 1,000 Protestant men with 5 [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] officers. They were trained as marines and were assigned to merchant ships conducting business outside of [[Levantia]]. This role persisted until the late 1800s when the needs of the thalosocrassy shifted and molded the legion to fit.
 
During the Occupation of Wintergen and Kiravian Pseudo-War and the subsequent occupations of AyerSee, Sodermark and Sturmhavn that permanent garrisons would need to be established to defend the islands. The Legion was re-purposed as amphibious infantry units. Their training consisted primarily of marine skills but added amphibious assault and coastal defense to the repertoire.
 
Today the Legion consists of ~130,000 members, is still primarily Protestant, is excluded from operating in [[Levantia]], is made up of 65% Burgoignacs and 35% foreigners, and is the only permanent "army" unit in [[Burgundie]].
 
It is headquartered at [[Equitorial Ostiecia #Fort LaRemie|Fort LaRemie]], [[Equitorial Ostiecia]].

The Tirailleurs Tessouat (Aeng: Tessouat's Rifles) are a Battlegroup in the Osteician Central Command. They are classified as light assault infantry garrisoned a [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Fort_St._Paul|Fort St. Paul]] in [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Pescanice|Pescanice]], [[Equitorial Ostiecia]]. Per the [[LUDC]] force structure classified as a {{wp|Division (military)|division}} based on number of troops, but it is a temporary, unsupported unit, therefore the Army has classified it as a ''Battlegroup''.
 
The unit was formed in [[2026]], as part of the [[Army of Burgundie Combat Capability Realignment of 2026]], after the number of [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]] applicants exceeded the ability of the [[Army of Burgundie#Training_Command|Training Command]] to adequately train and matriculate the [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]]. Due to the well-known martial tradition of the [[Algosh Republic|Algosh]], especially during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the Foreign Legion high command wanted to quickly recruit and retain the diaspora of [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]], before they could be taken into other countries militaries. Legion high command created a brigade combat team, in [[2026]], which later expanded to a battlegroup, in [[2030]], as a "temporary training, matriculation, and evaluation unit."
 
The plan is to use the Tirailleurs Tessouat are focused on two core missions for the near term. The first mission is that they are teaching the cadre of Drill Instructors and Training Officers their methodology and combat techniques to see what can be integrated into the [[Burgoignesc way of war]] and training, conducted by the newly created ''Cronan Combat Doctrine Integration School''. The second mission is to act as {{wp|Opposing force|OPFOR}} for unit training for the rest of the Army of Burgundie.

[[File:Guidon Great_Prince's_Own_Horse_Artillery.png|right|250px|thumb|Guidon of the Great Prince's Own Horse Artillery]]
First formed in [[1557]], the unit that is now the Great Prince's Own Horse Artillery ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Artillerie a Cheval della Gran Princep''), has a long history of excellence. Due to the nature of warfare prior to the [[Great Confessional War]] in [[Levantia]] ([[1555]] - [[1575]]), most principalities and duchies did not have standing armies. This meant that they did not have training programs and so when men-at-arms ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''gendarmes'') and their peasant levies were called to action they could only provide a limited scope of rudimentary battle tactics. The introduction of gunpowder to [[Levantia|Levantine]] warfare in the 15th century was assumed to begin a revolution in warfare. However, outside of sieges and castle/fortification defense, these {{wpl|Artillery#Smoothbores|bombards}} were determined to be too immobile and unreliable for set-piece battles. They were only used by well-resourced, large armies controlled by kings or those armies raised by the [[Emperor of the Levantines]].
''The use of the word "cannon" marks the introduction in the 15th century of a dedicated field carriage with axle, trail and animal-drawn limber—this produced mobile field pieces that could move and support an army in action, rather than being found only in the siege and static defenses. The reduction in the size of the barrel was due to improvements in both iron technology and gunpowder manufacture, while the development of {{wpl|trunnions}}—projections at the side of the cannon as an integral part of the cast—allowed the barrel to be fixed to a more movable base, and also made raising or lowering the barrel much easier.''
These innovations allowed for the more widespread use of cannons but added the requirement for trained, professional soldiers and logisticians. Artillery was one of the areas requiring the most training to be conducted consistently and with any real effect. As such artillery companies were among the first professional standing army units to be formed in [[Levantia]]. In the coastal areas of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] this was first recorded in the first few years of the [[Great Confessional War]] when the need for an organic (not mercenary) corps of artillery was realized by some of the armies on both sides. Few dukes, counts, and lesser princes, could afford a permanent military much less the specialized equipment that went along with artillery batteries. However, the [[History_of_Burgundie#Vilauristre_Conference|Vilauristre Conference]] (Protestant) and the [[History_of_Burgundie#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duchy of Marialanus]] (Catholic) were wealthy merchant states with trade routes and thus direct access to the metallurgists who had served the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] until its collapse in [[1517]].
These gunsmiths were brought to [[History_of_Burgundie#Vilauristre_Conference|Vilauristre Conference]] and the [[History_of_Burgundie#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duchy of Marialanus]] and grand manufactories for cannons and later early musketry were formed, these wares were not only produced for the armies of these states but for their allies. The [[History_of_Burgundie#Vilauristre_Conference|Vilauristre Conference]] created predominantly iron cannons for the Protestant Union and the [[History_of_Burgundie#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duchy of Marialanus]] created primarily bronze cannons for the Holy League.
[[File:16th_Century_Artillerie.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Examples of Marlialanian "field" artillery.]]
The [[History_of_Burgundie#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duke of Marialanus]] formed the Company of Cannoneers in [[1557]] with three cannons. It is from this Company of Cannoneers that the ''Artillerie a Cheval della Gran Princep'' draws its heritage. During the Burgoignesc Unification War, more widely called the [[Second Fratricide]], the Ducal Corps of Artillery fought with honor against the Principality of Burgundie, but ultimately the Duchy lost and was subsumed into the new nation of [[Burgundie]]. The unit was disbanded from [[1875]]-[[1896]] when it was reformed as the 4th Regiment of Horse Artillery, to fight in the [[First Great War]]. They served in the [[War of Faskano Strait]] with distinction despite staggering loses and were. At the end of the war when the Metropole Forces were being disbanded again, to honor their service and sacrifice they were reorganized as the ''Artillerie a Cheval della Gran Princep'' and made a permanent bodyguard unit for the royal family.
They currently use the [[Gerin-Lajoie_Weaponeering#Products|CAESAR NG self-propelled howitzer]] and a variety of mortars when in combat.

== Foreign Legion ==
==Legion of Volunteers and Levies==
[[File:Guidon_Burg_Legion.png|right|200px]]
Since the Metropole Forces are not a standing army it requires a series of reserves to maintain their skills in the event that they are needed. [[Burgundie]] achieves this one three levels. The [[LUDC]], the [[Metropolitan Guard]], and the [[Princess Royal's Volunteers]].
 
====Levantine Union Defense Council as a reserve force====
Following the expulsion of the Protestants from [[Levantia]] during the [[Great Confessional War]], [[Burgundie]] was flooded with Protestants and a Duke that was hostile to their presence in [[Burgundie]]. As an attempt to deal with their persistent presence and under pressure from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and the Papacy, the Duke of Burgundie, created the Burgundian Foreign Legion as a way to displace them, but bolster his military power. At its conception in [[1577]], the unit consisted of 1,000 Protestant men with 5 [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] officers. They were trained as marines and were assigned to merchant ships conducting business outside of [[Levantia]]. This role persisted until the late 1800s when the needs of the thalosocrassy shifted and molded the legion to fit.
The [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] (LUDC), of which [[Burgundie]] is a co-founding member, provides a convenient loophole to the legal statute preventing [[Burgundie]] from having a standing army in the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. [[Burgundie]] provides a disproportionate amount of personnel support to the [[Levantine_Union_Defense_Council#Mobile_Land_Forces_Element|LUDC's Mobile Land Forces Element]]. By subjugating command and control of these units to the LUDC and not a Burgoignesc command, they are considered not a national standing army, but  supernational-interagency combat units. This creates a thriving environment for soldiers and commander to train and gain valuable experience while also ensuring that the majority of the Army of Burgundie is capable of engaging in international operations and understanding complex and dynamic command environments.
 
During the Occupation of Wintergen and Kiravian Pseudo-War and the subsequent occupations of AyerSee, Sodermark and Sturmhavn that permanent garrisons would need to be established to defend the islands. The Legion was re-purposed as amphibious infantry units. Their training consisted primarily of marine skills but added amphibious assault and coastal defense to the repertoire.
 
Today the Legion consists of 35,048 members, is still primarily Protestant, is excluded from operating in [[Levantia]], is made up of 85% Burgoignacs and 15% foreigners, and is the only permanent "army" unit in [[Burgundie]].
 
It is headquartered at Fort LaRemie, Nova Levantia.


====Metropolitan Guard====
[[File:Metropolitan Guard Banner.png|thumb|200px|Banner of the Metropolitan Guard.]]
The [[Metropolitan Guard|Burgoignesc Grand Principal Republican Metropolitan Guard]], ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Vigilanteuers della Republique Real Burgoignesc''), more commonly known as the Metropolitan Guard, is the ready-reserve infantry force of the [[Army of Burgundie|Army of]] [[Burgundie]]. It constitutes a semi-professional corps of non-commissioned and junior officers. It is designed to be activated in the event of an invasion of the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] and to rally residents to fight a guerilla war against the invaders.
====Princess Royal's Volunteers====
[[File:PRV Banner.png|right|thumb|200px|Banner of the Princess Royal's Vonlunteers.]]
The [[Princess Royal's Volunteers]] is a civilian self-defense league operated under the leadership of the army but regulated on a day-to-day basis by the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]]. It is an inactive reserve force for the Army of Burgundie and has a membership of about 1.7 million. Sometimes called the Peasant's Army, the Membership is a prerequisite for fire arms ownership in [[Burgundie]]. Upon completion of the application process and 40 hrs of firearms safety training, residents are given a license to buy, own, and where permissable by local law, carry firearms. There are no dues, and members are automatically rostered with the Princess Royal's Alshars. This designation means that in the event of a national emergency or war members are forbade from leaving the country and subject to conscription. To maintain membership residents have to complete 4 hours of subervised range time each month, and one combat village course each year.

The Army Corps of the Rails ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Corps Strates della Rueferrus (CoStR)) was formed during the [[Second Great War]] when the various private freight rail networks were nationalized as part of the total war campaign in [[1939]]. In its current iteration it owns, maintains, or operates on about 15% of the rail network in [[Burgundie]] and has a rolling stock capacity of 568 cars of various descriptions, 47 engines, and three yards.
 
====Ancient and Honorable Logistics Train====
The Ancient and Honorable Logistics Train ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Train Logistique Ancien et Honourable (TraLAH)) is a collection of company level pack animal troupes for combat logistics in environments and theaters where terrain or refueling capabilities are complex.
There are 8 mule companies, 6 dromedary companies, 4 horse companies, and a dog sled company.
 
Each company consists of a headquarters, a veterinarian platoon, a feed and handling platoon, and 10 squads of two animals each, with the exception of the dog sled company which has 5 squads each with a sled and 8 dogs.

=====Operational history=====
=====Operational history=====
The concept of repurposing captured enemy weapons ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''repurposement'') has long been practiced during longer campaigns, particularly in theaters of operations far away from the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc Metropole]]. A similar strategy, {{wpl|Prize (law)|Prize}} have been conducted by navies for centuries, and has, since prior to its unification, been central to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc martial maritime culture]]. Its use on land was not formalized until late in the [[Great War]] at which point [[Burgundie]]'s army was spread across the globe and its logistics capabilities were strained to their breaking point. Units were asked to live off of the land and utilize captured equipment where possible so as to reduce the demand on the {{wpl|materiel}} supply chain. There was measured success but not enough to reduce demand and at the end of the war the mechanisms in place were disbanded.

During [[Operation Kipling]] the cultural revolution at home and the resulting opposition the war and the military-industrial complex led to a similar supply chain problem. Some lieutenants whose squads were in particularly hard to supply areas took it upon themselves to train their soldiers on the use of enemy weapons (particularly small arms) and supplemented their ability to sustain fires with captured enemy munitions. As the war expanded this percolated up to the field-grade officers who began not only to increase the formality and investment in this capability but also to develop specialized recon missions to capture, instead of destroying, enemy weapons in remote areas of operations (AOs). This required specialized training, not only for general forces but also of the units conducting the recon missions. This request for supplemental training reached back to Army headquarters in the lat 1970s and the Standardized Militia Progam was reworked to include training on the main battle rifle of the Army of Burgundie, but also the primary weapons of the top three adversaries of Burgundie at that time. This program was scrapped in the mid 80s as ineffectual but it was added to the advanced infantry schools of the Metropole Forces and the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion and increased to the top 5 rifle/assault rifle platforms.
