The modern Army traces its history back to [[1591]] upon establishment of a {{wp|standing army}} by [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo II]]. The term ''Royal and Imperial Army'' was used whenever the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] also held the title [[Emperor of the Levantines]], and has been the permanent name of the force since [[1935]] with the [[Treaty of Corcra]]. Members of the Royal and Imperial Army swear allegiance to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|monarch]] as their commander-in-chief, though precedents established during the [[Aedanicad]] and before invest most authority with the [[Procurator]], who holds the title of [[Ranks_in_the_Urcean_Armed_Forces|''Magister Militum'']]. The army is administered by the [[Ministry of the Armed Services (Urcea)|Ministry for the Armed Services]] and commanded by the Deputy Lord Marshal for the Army. | The modern Army traces its history back to [[1591]] upon establishment of a {{wp|standing army}} by [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo II]].

The Royal and Imperial Army has seen action in major wars between the world's great powers, most especially including the [[Great War]]. The strength of the armies in the [[Caroline Wars]] allowed [[Urcea]] to become the preminant military and geopolitical power in [[Levantia]]. Since the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]] and beginning of [[The Deluge]], the Army has primarily been involved in both offensive and peacekeeping operations throughout northern [[Crona]] and [[Cusinaut]]. | The Royal and Imperial Army has seen action in major wars between the world's great powers, most especially including the [[Second Great War]].
