The armed forces were created as a merger of the military forces of [[Verecundia]], [[Vorenia]] and [[Loreseia]]. Based on a model suggested by [[Yonderian Defence Force]] General [[Adolf Nehring]], the formations of the armies and airforces of [[Verecundia]], [[Vorenia]] and [[Loreseia]] were all retained along with their equipment and tables of organization (where numbers permitted) prior to the final establishment of the unified army and airforce. Personnel of all ranks were offered twelve month contracts during which time the personnel could be individually evaluated. Commissions would be granted to the officers of Vorenia, Verecundia, and Loreseia at a 45/45/10 ratio respectively, with any surplus being transitioned to senior NCO or reserve officer roles. The enlisted who accepted the twelve month contracts were also individually evaluated and were offered either contract extentions with the Royal Army or Air Force or discharged from service. | ||
The law that provided for this structure also provided that all extant units would be dissolved and recompiled using mixed personnel rather than by employing existing national unit formations by the end of the twelve month evaluation. This had the practical effect of fusing the army and air force together and avoiding potential rivalries between old national units and officers. The Royal Navy, meanwhile, was established by renaming the Grand Ducal Navy of Loreseia, the only state of Lapody's three predecessors to have a coastline. | |||
The Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Lapody are designed to be an independent fighting force, capable of projecting Lapodian power throughout eastern [[Levantia]] and into [[Audonia]]. The original charter legislation of the Royal Armed Forces provided that Lapody views itself as the "fifth tent pole" of the Levantine Union, envisioning Lapody as a peer of [[Burgundie]], [[Yonderrre]], and [[Fiannria]] in terms of military strength (the other tent pole being [[Urcea]]). Accordingly, the Royal Armed Forces are only tangentially designed with capability for integration within [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] forces, as Lapodian leaders envision being able to prosecute a war as a full partner rather than as subordinated forces. | The Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Lapody are designed to be an independent fighting force, capable of projecting Lapodian power throughout eastern [[Levantia]] and into [[Audonia]].
