=== Standardized Militia Program === | === Standardized Militia Program === | ||
Young | Young Burgoignacs 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 Burgoinacs 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. | ||
===Army Reserves=== | |||
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]]. | |||
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 it's [[Levantine|Levantine]] territories. [[Burgundie]] provides a disproportionate amount of personnel support to the LUDC. 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. | |||
The [[Metropolitan Guard]] is a ready-reserve unit of the army that 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. | |||
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]]. 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 Volunteers. 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. | |||
