Organization

The Royal and Confederate Army is organized into [[1]] sized groupings called "units". Unlike conventionally organized militaries, units within the Royal and Confederate Army maintain a degree of autonomy owing to the confederated nature of the Army. There are three sources for the "units" within the Royal and Confederate Army, typically called "Levantine", "Confederate", and "Liberated". These units are formed into different brigade and division level groupings under the command of Levantine volunteer officers, most especially from Yonderre.

Levantine and volunteer units

Levantine units are traditionally organized units within the Royal and Confederate Army, being fully subordinated to the chain of command. These units are comprised of individuals from the Colony of New Yustona proper regardless of ethnic origin as well as volunteers from Levantia and other Nysdra Sea Treaty Association states. Many of those enlisted within the Levantine units are veterans of the Royal and Imperial Army settled within New Yustona and a survey from November 2021 indicates nearly 40% of the enlisted men of the units fought in the War of the Northern Confederation.

The non-commissioned officers within the Levantine units are typically New Yustona resident veterans or non-Urcean Levantines, with Deric NCOs being the most common.

Confederate tribal units

Confederate or "tribal" units are comprised of local militias and tribal defense forces of the three allied peoples, free cities, and free tribes of New Yustona. These units maintain their own native political command structure and commanders and are mostly autonomous within the Army, though they are compelled broadly to operate within the overall strategic direction of the Army. Local commanders of these units are given Levantine attaches both for advice and coordination purposes, with most attaches being Yonderian officers.

Confederate units make up the majority of the Royal and Confederate Army. In November 2021, nearly 30,000 of the 42,501 listed personnel of the Army were members of Confederate units.

Liberated units

"Liberated" units are comprised of volunteer forces from members of the Four Neighbors prisoners of war captured from the Tepetlcali Campaign or who otherwise defected and joined the Royal and Confederate Army. Though liberated units are divided into the four nations of its members, its command structure is varied. Some groupings follow a traditional command structure with Levantine officers and non-commissioned officers where native officers do not exist, while other units follow local political command like Confederate units do. The Liberated units are the smallest of the three unit types within the Royal and Confederate Army.
