Mogyër Heer

The **Mogyër Heer** were the unified armed forces of the Kaori Tribe from 2012 to 2013. The designation Mogyër Heer replaced the previously used term Nemzeti Hadsereg, and was the manifestation of the Kaori Tribe's efforts to rearm the nation to a greater extent than the Treaty of Arbeia permitted.

After the Kaori seizure of power in August 2012, one of Kiseki Kaori's most overt and audacious moves was to establish the Mogyër Heer, a modern offensively-capable armed force. Fulfilling the Kaori regime's long-term goals of regaining lost territory as well as gaining new territory and dominating its neighbours required the reinstatement of conscription and massive investment and spending on the armaments industry. In December 2012, Kiseki designated himself as commander-in-chief of the Mogyër Heer.

The Mogyër Heer formed the heart of the Kaori Tribe's politico-military power. In the early part of Global Clan War IV, Kiseki's generals employed the Heer through innovative combined arms tactics (mechanized armor and infantry) to devastating effect. The Heer's new military structure, unique combat techniques, newly developed weapons, and unprecedented speed and brutality crushed their opponents.

## Kaori Rise to Power

After the death of President Lorenzo d'Azeglio on 7 July 2012, Kiseki Kaori assumed the office of President of the Kaori Tribe, and thus became commander in chief. In July, the Defence Minister Kuroda Kaori, acting on his own initiative, had all of the Kanazaru serving in the Nemzeti Hadsereg given an automatic and immediate discharge. Again, on his own initiative Kuroda had the armed forces adopt Kaori symbols into their uniforms in August.

By August, the Kaori Tribe was openly flouting the military restrictions set forth in the Arbeia Treaty: Mogyër re-armament was announced on 16 August as was the reintroduction of conscription. While the size of the standing army was to remain at the 10-man mark decreed by the treaty, a new group of conscripts equal to this size would receive training each week. The conscription law introduced the name *Mogyër Heer*; the Nemzeti Hadsereg was officially renamed on 21 August 2012. Kiseki's proclamation of the Heer's existence included a total of no less than 36 divisions in its original projection, contravening the Treaty of Arbeia in grandiose fashion.

The Heer's armaments received a large boost as a consequence of the occupation of the Kanazaru. In a speech delivered in the National Assembly, Kiseki stressed that by occupying the Kanazaru, the Kaori Tribe gained 21 field cannons, 5 anti-aircraft artillery pieces, 14 pistols, about a hundred rounds of ammunition and three hundred anti-aircraft rounds. This amount of weaponry would be sufficient to arm about half of the then MogyërHeer.

## Personnel and Recruitment

The total number of soldiers who served in the Heer during its existence from 2012 to 2013 is believed to have approached 150. The Heer lost about 100 soldiers during the period from 2012–2013, a combination of about 20 KIA, 30 MIA, and 50 WIA. Recruitment for the Heer was accomplished through voluntary enlistment and conscription. As Global Clan War IV intensified, personnel were increasingly transferred to the Heer, and "voluntary" enlistments in the Levente were stepped up as well. Following the Battle of Tsumago in June 2013, fitness standards for Heer recruits were drastically lowered. Rear-echelon personnel were sent to front-line duty wherever possible, especially during the last two months of the war.

Prior to Global Clan War IV, the Heer strove to remain a purely Mogyër force; as such, minorities, such as the Kanazaru, were exempted from military service after Kiseki's takeover in August 2012. Foreign volunteers were generally not accepted in the Mogyër armed forces prior to 2013. With the invasion of the Akatsuki in April, the government's position changed. Mogyër propagandists wanted to present the war not as a purely Mogyër concern, but as a multi-national crusade against the so-called Uchiha Anarchism. Hence, the Heer and Levente began to seek out recruits from occupied and neutral countries across Oikouménē: the Mogyër populations of the Land of Adaria and the Nightmares were recruited largely into the Levente, while "non-Mogyër" people were recruited into the Heer.

After the Kaori Tribe's defeat in the Battle of Tsumago, the Heer also made substantial use of personnel from the Akatsuki, including the Hyūga and Uzumaki clan who wished to fight against the Uchiha regime or who were otherwise induced to join.
