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 strength of the armies in the [[Caroline Wars]] allowed [[Urcea]] to become the preeminent 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 Army Volunteers are a component of the Royal and Imperial Army that fields "volunteer" - i.e. non-professional - units, mostly during wartime. Though separately organized than the Royal and Imperial Army and with a mostly breveted officer corps, the Royal Army Volunteers functionally serve as the method through which the nation's {{wp|Military reserve|reserve}} component is organized for military service. Units organized through the Royal Army Volunteers are placed under the command of the Royal and Imperial Army. The Volunteers, once the bulk of Urcean manpower during several of the [[Caroline Wars]] and beyond, have been largely rendered unnecessary by the increase in size of the regular army, though they were mobilized twice in the modern era - during the [[Second Great War]] and during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. | |||
Unlike service in the Royal and Imperial Army, members of the Royal Army Volunteers term of service are typically three years or the conclusion of an armed conflict, whichever is earlier. | |||
