"Liberated" units were comprised of volunteer forces from members of the [[Tepetlcali_Campaign#Four_Neighbors|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 [[Levantia|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. | "Liberated" units were comprised of volunteer forces from members of the [[Tepetlcali_Campaign#Four_Neighbors|Four Neighbors]] prisoners of war captured from the [[Tepetlcali Campaign]] or who otherwise defected and joined the Royal and Confederate Army.

The Liberated units were the smallest of the three unit types within the Royal and Confederate Army. With the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many Confederate and Levantine volunteers returned home, and liberated soldiers began to take up an increasing share of the regular army. | ||
===Post-war=== | ===Post-war=== | ||
The post-2027 reforms initiated by [[Guillaume d'Agostino]] implemented new organizational units and a standing central core part of the Royal and Confederate Army. The new organization not only reflected the need for the Royal and Confederate Army to exist as a going concern, but also reflected new political realities in [[New Harren]] with the addition of four new constituent nations of the Kingdom and need to dissolve the liberated units. The newly organized Royal and Confederate Army would retain three types of units; "standing" divisions, "kin-on-service" divisions, and "paper" divisions. | |||
As was the case during wartime, the vast majority of officers of the Royal and Confederate Army are officers of [[Levantine Union]] members who are serving a tour abroad with the Royal and Confederate Army via the [[Levantine_Union_Defense_Council#Foreign_Services_Element|Foreign Services Element Program]]. The Royal and Confederate Army has been gradually transitioning its non-commissioned officer positions to residents of the Kingdom and away from foreign volunteers. | |||
====Standing divisions==== | |||
The standing divisions of the Royal and Confederate Army are traditionally organized military units made up of paid volunteers serving a specific term of service with the Army. Any resident of the Kingdom may enlist. Given its traditional organization, all units are fully integrated without consideration of national origin, tribal background, or other like considerations. The standing divisions, which are a full-time military force, form the core of the Royal and Confederate Army, and its units are the best trained and best equipped relative to the other two types of units. Demographically, the standing divisions are primarily made up of volunteers from the [[New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]] as well as a significant number of soldiers who were formerly part of the "liberated units", whose number have increasingly taken up professional military service. Only a small number of volunteers come from the confederates tribes or peoples of the Kingdom. | |||
====Kin-on-service==== | |||
Kin-on-service units are a type of rotating national guard service integrated within the Royal and Confederate Army. Similar to some national guards, these units are comprised of soldiers who serve mandatory one year terms within the military. Unlike other militaries, however, the terms are served by {{wp|battalion}}-sized groups of men from the confederated nations of [[New Harren]], serving their term together. Accordingly, kin-on-service divisions are units where battalions are rotating in and out on a yearly basis. Unlike the confederate divisions of the war and paper divisions of the post-war Army, battalion commanders and up are Army officers rather than local national commanders. Below the battalion level, leaders are elected within the particular units. | |||
====Paper divisions==== | |||
The so-called "paper divisions" of the Royal and Confederate Army are formations which primarily consist only of [[Levantine Union]] officers in nominal formations with little or no enlisted personnel. These divisions were created in order to have organization in place during wartime wherein, similar to the wartime confederate units, {{wp|brigade}} level groupings of soldiers from the confederate nations can be integrated within a hierarchy. Similar to the confederate units, many officers would serve as attaches to native commanders at the brigade level and below. The degree of autonomy afforded to native commanders during envisioned wartime is significantly reduced compared to the confederate units, and most of the paper divisions have specific agreements with each confederate nation as to which will contribute forces to which division. | |||
