Following the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many of the tribal militias activated for wartime service went home, and consequently the major source of the Army's manpower - confederated units - effectively ceased to exist with the beginning of the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Electorsbourg peace talks]]. Regardless, [[Guillaume d'Agostino]] maintained many of its volunteer forces and liberated units in good order, implementing new training regimens and unit organization following the war. Many of the liberated units would remain with the army; having previously been Algosh conscripts from impoverished areas of the Four Neighbors, most of them had gained considerable experience and became the professional core of the Army along with some volunteers from the Rectory of New Harren. The wartime structure continued through late 2026, when questions about the Army's future came into doubt. At the end of the year, d'Agostino entered into negotiations with the constituent nations of the Kingdom to establish a new organizational structure for the Army which would be centered around a professional volunteer core with rotating, rationalized adaptations of tribal militia forces. These negotiations succeeded and the new organizational system entered force in mid-2027, and with it the Army received additional funding from the government of New Harren as well as additional equipment from recently decommissioned units of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], allowing for new training and better equipped professional units. | Following the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many of the tribal militias activated for wartime service went home, and consequently the major source of the Army's manpower - confederated units - effectively ceased to exist with the beginning of the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Electorsbourg peace talks]].

During the post-war period, d'Agostino continued to develop the doctrinal basis of the Royal and Confederate Army. Much of the Army's doctrine would be based on its real wartime use but also on his education in [[Yonderre]], whose doctrine provides that the [[Yonderian Defence Forces]] would be used in a delaying action to keep the nation free from occupation to the extent possible while [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] forces could muster to relieve them. Similarly, the Royal and Confederate Army's purpose would be to delay any invader or attacker for as long as possible to protect the Kingdom's sovereignty until the much larger [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] could arrive in force. Under the new mission of the Army, it would serve as a semi-independent corps-level formation under [[Urcea|Urcean]] command following the arrival of Urcean forces and relief of its defensive mission. | |||
