Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren): Difference between revisions

While serving as a standard military branch and border patrol force during peacetime, the Royal and Confederate Army is intended during wartime to functionally serve as a {{wp|corps}} sized formation attached to the larger [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] when fully mobilized. Prior to full mobilization, the Royal and Confederate Army is designed to serve as a defensive force to allow time for the Royal and Imperial Army to be deployed to [[Cusinaut]].  

===Origins===

The Royal and Confederate Army was formed during the early stage of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] as a wartime necessity. Prior to the conflict, [[New Harren]] had no official armed forces and was under the protection of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], meaning that the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] was responsible for defending the borders of the Kingdom and prosecuting war against its enemies as necessary. As the conflict shifted from a defensive war with [[Algoquona]] to a general war with [[Varshan]] with the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]], the Royal and Imperial Army needed to rapidly redeploy from [[Cusinaut]] to [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]], leaving very few spare units to continue the conflict with [[Algoquona]] even on a defensive posture. Accordingly, an agreement was reached with the constituent tribes of [[New Harren]] for them to provide their tribal militias for a new standing army that they would maintain influence within. With the constituent tribes providing a majority of the manpower, later supplemented by volunteers from the Rectory of New Harren and from abroad, an officer corps was created using [[LUDC]] officers on global assignment, particularly from [[Yonderre]] and the [[Deric States]], as neither were involved in the war with [[Varshan]]. [[Guillaume d'Agostino]], a native of [[Yonderre]], was given the rank of Prafáti Princeps Glássariaei (equivalent to {{Wp|commandant}}) and placed in command of the Army.
