Exercitus Remanius: SPQR´s Army

=== Military organisation ===
=== The army ===
The SPQR army was founded by merging both the Octavian armed land forces and the Tibeiran Land army.
Nowadays it is a large, well trained and equipped force, with plenty of experience under its belt, both in wars and colonial endeavours. Specially with its brand new rifles and artillery and HMG it stands ready to defend SPQR and its colonies.
Currently the army its made up of:
* The standing Army:
* The Reserve Army :(Requires 3 weeks to mobilize)
* The Territorial army: (Requires 2 months to mobilise)
* The Marines:
* Costal defence Auxilia:
* Colonial army:
By law all citizens must answer the call to arms if needed and (similar to the swiss army) all citizens must do the army or navy service or civil one at 18 years for 6 weeks).
=== The SPQO army is organised into the following: ===
* Companies of 100-300 men under a captian
* Battalions of 350-1500 under a major
* Regiments of 1000- 2500 under a Colonel
* X Brigades of 4200-5000 men approx under the command of a Centurion.
* 3 Brigades form a XX Division of 12500 men under a Camp Perfect.
* 3 divisions form a XXX Corps of 37.500 men under a Rear Legate
* 2 Corps form an XXXX Army under the command of a Legate
* 2 Armies form an XXXXX Army group under the command of the Field legate

== Army Strength ==
=== Manpower distribution: ===
* Army: 3/5 of all manpower is combat personnel while 2/5 are support personnel
* All 18 year olds citizens must do a 18 week training regimen which then is continued 1 week per year till the age of 40
The reserve army (counted in the mobilised manpower) trains 1 week every 2 months.
The SPQR system is rare because in peacetime military service greater than the 18 week course for 18 year-olds and yearly 1 week training is volunteer only. In times of war any fit for service citizens can be conscripted.
In 1905 women were still not allowed in combat roles in the army but can hold support roles. In the navy they can achieve any rank.
