All COs are technically considered officers in the Fhainnin rank structure, and non-officers are referred to as Men-at-Arms. Any soldier can theoretically attain the rank of Captaen, though this typically is reserved for officer training school candidates and higher ranks require such training as a prerequisite. Appointments to the ranks of Lft. General and higher almost always require appropriate political leanings and specialized schooling in addition to the demonstrated competence and leadership qualities expected of the upper echelons.

Pay

base pay for a soldier is approximately 30,000 Barra a year for enlisted, 45,000 for lower officers, 60,000 for staff officers, and 140,000 Barra/year for generals before bonuses. Combat awards typically include bonuses of one to ten thousand Barra; campaign medals and ordinary medals do not. Soldiers killed in battle are awarded a year and a half of tax exempt pay to be paid to the willed persons or nearest kin if nobody is selected. Soldiers killed in peacetime for reasons unrelated to existing health issues, disorderly conduct, and suicide are awarded one hundred to one hundred fifty thousand barra over three years. Maimed veterans receive a varying pay of 10-15 thousand Barra per year for fifteen years after discharge, and all combat veterans are entitled to tax-funded mental health services. Veterans and active personnel additionally are additionally exempt from Faneria's railway use tax.

Budget and Development

about 36 billion in salaries (average 37000 barra/26.5k thalers pay, but many bonuses available plus minor pensions)

Generally speaking, a Rhon will be marked as Infantry, Armor, or Support, with Infantry and Armor Rhonn containing their own support Bragadts, Catalionn, and Cuartoris; a Support Rhon is composed of several identical noncombat Bragadts with additional support units under a more robust command staff to support local Chorp operations as required. In some cases, additional combat support formations (i.e. Recon or Ordinance) may be attached temporarily to a Rhon or even to a Bragadt within a Rhon - for example, an ad-hoc formation created to counter an armored advance may be assigned an entire anti-tank Catalion per frontline Bragadt in addition to or instead of the one assigned under direct Rhon command, tripling or quadrupling the usual anti-tank armament of the formation as a whole (assuming full staff and supply).


Medical, Signals, and other support formations typically are grouped into Cuartori or at most Bragadt, but normally these personnel are distributed throughout the larger formations they serve with to fulfil their roles directly. Proper formations of these may be grouped into information centers, field or proper hospital units, etc.

The Army is generally organized into Infantry, Armored, and irregular Rhon and smaller units. As of 2020, these were:

  • 39 Infantry Rhon (18 organized into the Chorps structures, 21 'free')
  • 9 Armored Rhon (all organized into the Chorps structures)
  • 31 Support Rhon (27 organized into the Chorps structures, 4 'free')
  • 1 Marine Rhon, 1 Air Drop Rhon, 1 Special Service Rhon, 2 Light Infantry Rhon
  • several independent smaller units, typically recruitment, training, and armory/base permanent garrisons

Of these units, the majority of them (9 Armored, 18 Infantry, and 27 Support) are organized into three field armies, each formed of three combat Chorps of one armor and two infantry Rhon and one logistical Chorps of three Support Rhon. Generally, one support Rhon shadows each combat Chorps on campaign.

Of the remaining units, 16 of the remaining infantry Rhon and two of the Support Rhon act as semi-permanent garrisons around the metropole. One infantry Rhon is based in the colony of Mharnsgate, and the remaining two Support and four Infantry Rhon are deployed as-needed. The nonstandard units (marines, paratroops, Special Services, and various military police, intelligence, and minor task forces) are generally split into constituent parts and attached as needed to other units.
