The '''Office of the National Army,''' or '''IFN''', is one of the eight major Offices of Faneria's government, and oversees the armed forces of the Republic. The Office itself is an administrative and mixed military and civilian organization, while actual operations are planned and performed by its component Bureaus. In Fhainnin nomenclature, the Army covers the entirety of the armed forces, leading to some confusion between the Army and the Land Bureau, the latter of which is the land army of Faneria. The Office of the Army responds primarily to the [[Seat of the Directorate|Director]] of the Republic outside of disaster situations where units are delegated to local authorities or subordinated to the [[Office of State Security (Faneria)|Office of State Security]]. | The '''Office of the National Army,''' or '''IFN''', is one of the eight major Offices of Faneria's government, and oversees the armed forces of the Republic.

The first Kings of the Fhainn fought with essentially the same troops as their ancestors and opponents had for innumerable generations before, and did so successfully. However, the inherent disorganization and decentralization of feudal forces made mobilizing to fight large wars increasingly difficult, and by the fourteenth century, firearms and cannons made organized formations increasingly important. | The first Kings of the Fhainn fought with essentially the same troops as their ancestors and opponents had for innumerable generations before, and did so successfully.

In the late 18th Century and onwards, the Royal Army grew in size greatly as the nobility became increasingly dependent on the Crown for their power, culminating in the loss of their privileges to raise levies independent of the central government in the 1830 Constitution. Units were organized into a Corps system immediately prior to the [[Third Kin War]] along Latin lines, with continuous modernization throughout the rest of the century. COnscription was also introduced in 1840, though the professional troops largely remained nobility. The Royal Army performed well until its disastrous defeat during the [[Fourth Kin War]], during which the entirety of the Third Army Group was cut off from supply and defeated, with the ''Rih'' being taken captive and forced to sign the humiliating First Treaty of Gaoth. | In the late 18th Century and onwards, the Royal Army grew in size greatly as the nobility became increasingly dependent on the Crown for their power, culminating in the loss of their privileges to raise levies independent of the central government in the 1830 Constitution.

The IFN receives between 11 and 14% of the spending budget yearly; as of 2027, it received a total of________________ Barra (Talers Figure) annually. | The IFN receives between 11 and 14% of the spending budget yearly; as of 2027, it received a total of________________ Barra (Talers Figure) annually. | ||
===Pay=== | |||
Pay is based partly on rank and partly on contract. Typically, a (private) will receive 24,000 Barra a year, with incremental bonuses for ranks and a larger jump in pay for officers and specialists. Soldiers are able to increase their pay through volunteering for reassignment to a combat deployment, completing optional training programs, and surpassing additional requirements on annual fitness and readiness checks. Signing for a five-year service contract as a volunteer counts for a year's additional pay, while a three-year contract carries a 35% annual salary bonus. | |||
Service for a three-year contract after conscription is often seen as a good way to build savings, as a private who does not splurge will often leave with roughly fourty thousand Barra in savings. As a result, many college attendees in Faneria are former volunteers aged 24-29. | |||
=== Procurement === | |||
Procurement for the military is often done through the use of state-owned production and RnD teams supported by materials, skilled labor, and cooperatives from the private sector rather than direct purchasing from public or private military corporations directly, although the military is not above using purchased equipment outside of the electronics sector. This has created a situation where the private sector does much of the work in parts production and design, which is then filtered through state-controlled enterprises for assembly and testing to reduce the final cost of equipment. State-owned companies also frequently have what are referred to as 'cooperative parallel relationships' with private companies, trading personnel for cross-training, doing collaborative RnD work, and creating a list of companies that the state does not directly own but operate intimately with the state defense industry. | |||

Faneria practices a form of conscription where medically fit men and women between 19 and 22 are called up to serve. Over the course of the four years, every non-exempted draftee will serve for one year. Volunteering is encouraged and forms the backbone of the combat and high-tech units, while conscripts typically fill out support roles and garrison duties to pad out manpower requirements. Serving conscripts are not promoted beyond the rank of ______. Contracts for service come in 3- and 5-year variants, with the 5-year variant having a larger enlistment bonus. | Faneria practices a form of conscription where medically fit men and women between 19 and 22 are called up to serve.

Training for skills and jobs in the Army is highly organized, with a wide variety of dedicated schools for officers, engineering, basic training, and dozens of mission profiles and specializations being operated by the Army, often in conjunction with state-owned colleges or coordinated with private enterprises. Staff in the state-run schools are typically employed by the IFN, but are considered civilians rather than military personnel unless they also hold a military rank. | |||

=== Military Time === | |||
In the military, the [[New Revolutionary Timescale]] is used for arranging day-to-day affairs and operations. This is largely a formality for garrison duties, as the 24-hour clock is used for combat operations, but the NRT clock is still a cultural fixture of the military often incorrectly used in the film industry. | |||
