Army of the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash

The **Army of the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash**, also known as **Loyalist Forces**, was the military land force responsible for the defense of the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash.

## Organization

### Command

The army did not have a formal overall commander-in-chief, however the Empress, Qwaser\_ served as the *de facto* commander-in-chief, and appointed Foubrac, to serve as the General-in-Chief of the Armies of Loyalist Uldarash. Below that, there was a war council made up of senior officers in the armed forces who had varying degrees of control over the army.

The lack of centralized control was a strategic weakness to the Empire, as three battles (the Battle of Terroja, the Battle of Hapatmitas, and the Second Battle of CoolioCity) were lost due to poor communication between senior army officers and enlisted personnel under their command. The most notable example was in the Battle of Hapatmitas when a Bardonian officer blew retreat despite not having any order to do so and the commanding officer, TheAsianAimbot, ordering all personnel under her command to continue fighting. This threw the battle into chaos and was one of the several factors that caused the crushing defeat at the hands of the Second Empire of Uldarash.

### War Council

The War Council was the principal body of military advisors to the Empress, that composed of eight senior members, including both military officers and senior civilian leadership. The war council was not only tasked with advising the Empress, but also overseeing the army and all of its operations, including battles and training soldiers. The members of the war council were Foubrac, Argon Retter, Badeu0, Renitsu\_M, TheAsianAimbot, Piotik, BuckTootha, and Thayff.

### Personnel organization

The Empire of Loyalist Uldarash Army's soldiers were originally organized into platoons, each lead by one or two officers. Each platoon would be part of a larger infantry maneuver unit and assigned a target to take. Following the massive defeats at the Second Battle of CoolioCity and the Battle of Hapatmitas, the platoons were disbanded in preference of a smaller squad approach.

During the Hapatmitas-Chevkri Campaign, the platoons were:

## Morale and motivation

In the early days of the Uldarash Civil War, most soldiers were eager to fight for the defense of their homes, and allied troops to see Aurora fall. Morale only increased after the loss at the Battle of Terroja, as many Montrogians wanted to avenge their capital city. However, this increase in morale plummeted following the defeat that was the Hapatmitas-Chevkri Campaign. Due to the defeats at Hapatmitas and CoolioCity, many began to think the war was unwinnable. Nearly half of the countries providing military aide to the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash pulled out and brought their troops home. Many soldiers *within* the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash began to desert or go absent without leave (AWOL), and some even defected back to the Second Empire of Uldarash.

## Supply and logistics

The supply situation for the Army of the Empire of Loyalist Uldlarash was dismal, one of the biggest contributing factor to the Army's constant losses on the battlefield. The central government was short of money, so each sub-nation government had to supply its troops. The lack of central authority and the ineffective roads, combined with the lack of adequate supplies, were key factors in the Army of the Empire of Loyalist Uldarash's demise.

To remedy the inadequate supplies, the Loyalist Supply Company was founded to create and distribute armor, weapons, and potions on the battlefield. By the time of the Hapatmitas-Chevkri Campaign, they had created nearly half a million coins worth of weapons and armor, but lost 90% of it by the end of the battles. Because of this massive loss, many LSC members no longer had any drive to make more, as it would just be thrown away again.

The logistics of the Army were even worse than the dismal communication between the high command and the soldiers. During the Hapatmitas-Chevkri Campaign, the Supply and Logistical Corps created a staging area in the Republica Square of Tiatua, so soldiers who died in the conflicts could easily respawn and get new supplies. However, the organization of the Supply and Logistical Corps was nearly nonexistent. Due to the constant deaths of soldiers at Hapatmitas, the armor and weapons ran out only after a half hour of fighting. In addition to this, there were constant raids from bandits hired by the Second Empire of Uldarash, and members of the army stealing supplies for themselves. By the end of the Hapatmitas-Chevkri Campaign, nearly all the $500,000 worth of supplies had been either lost in combat or stolen.
