History
Origins
Invasion of Algoquona
Post-war reorganization
Organization
The Royal and Confederate Army was initially arranged on an ad hoc basis for use during the Final War of the Deluge, and accordingly most of its structure was intended to be an officially sanctioned coalition of native forces. With support of the government of New Harren and tribal leadership, Guillaume d'Agostino implemented a major structural reform to the Army in 2027.
Wartime
During the Final War of the Deluge, the Royal and Confederate Army was organized into regiment sized groupings called "units". Unlike conventionally organized militaries, units within the Royal and Confederate Army maintained a degree of autonomy owing to the confederated nature of the Army. There were three sources for the "units" within the Royal and Confederate Army, typically called "Levantine", "Confederate", and "Liberated". These units were 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 were traditionally organized units within the Royal and Confederate Army, being fully subordinated to the chain of command. These units were comprised of individuals from the Rectory of New Harren 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 during the Final War of the Deluge were veterans of the Royal and Imperial Army settled within New Harren; 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 were typically New Harren resident veterans or non-Urcean Levantines, with Deric NCOs being the most common.
Confederate tribal units
Confederate or "tribal" units were comprised of local militias and tribal defense forces of the three allied peoples, free cities, and free tribes of New Harren. These units maintained their own native political command structure and commanders and were mostly autonomous within the Army, though they were compelled broadly to operate within the overall strategic direction of the Army. Local commanders of these units were given Levantine attaches both for advice and coordination purposes, with most attaches being Yonderian officers.
Confederate units made 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 were 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 were divided into the four nations of its members, its command structure was 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 did. The Liberated units were the smallest of the three unit types within the Royal and Confederate Army.
Post-war
Personnel
Recruitment and commission
Commissions
Commissions for the Royal and Confederate Army corps are granted through the Office of the Governor-General of New Harren and are nominally based on merit; in practice, during the Final War of the Deluge, any officer volunteer who carried the official recommendation of the Levantine Union Defense Council received a commission. The Royal and Confederate Army's officer corps employs the rank structure of the Royal Marine Corps, and its commanding officer is given the rank Prafáti Princeps Glássariaei.
