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. | |||

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. | |||

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. | 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.

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. | |||
==Structure | 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. | |||

Following the | 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 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 second mission is to act as {{wp|Opposing force|OPFOR}} for unit training for the rest of the Army of Burgundie. | ||

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.
