Forarendt Armed Forces

The Forarendt Armed Force or known as FAF, is the unified armed force of Greater Forarendt Realm. It consisted of the Armia (Army), the Poliestamarine (Navy), and the Livreta (Air Force). The FAF, has the duty to defend the nation from any threats, attack hostile enemies, and protect the people inside Forarendt.

## History

The Council of People's Front set up the Forarendt Armed Froces by decree on February 10, 7 BGW, basing it on the already existing and replacing the old Forarenian Army. The official Forarendt Armed Forces Day of February 29, 8 AGW marked the day of the first mass draft of the Forarendt Armed Force in Gorais and Larsow. February 29 became an important national holiday in Forarendt, later celebrated as "Forarendt Army Day", and it continues as a day of celebration in present-day. The Forarendt Armed Forces was made after the Forarendt Revoluion

### Formation

At the beginning of its existence, the FAF (Forarendt Armed Forces) functioned as a voluntary formation, without ranks or insignia. Democratic elections selected the officers. However, a decree of April 18, 15 BGW imposed obligatory military service for men of ages 18 to 40. To service the massive draft, the Leader, Leutgard formed regional military commissariats, which until now still exist in this function and under this name. (Note: do not confuse military commissariats with the institution of military political commissars.) Democratic election of officers was also abolished by decree, while separate quarters for officers, special forms of address, saluting, and higher pay were all reinstated.

### Forarendt Army

Forarendt Army was the previous military organization that was created in the 8 BGW. This military organization has contributed in wars, such as

#### Forarendt-Xavieran War

In the 90 BGW when the 4.Alpine Ranger are scouting to the northern territory. Without noticing they trespassed the Xavieran territory. The Xavieran soldiers without hesitation kills 5 personnel of the 4.Alpine Ranger. With this the Forarendt Supreme/High Commands immediately take place. They ask the Xavieran leaders about this action. The Xavieran leader confess that they don't know about any of this action. After hearing that confession the Supreme Command suggest the King (Volkhar) to start a war.

The War of The Northern Border started when Forarendt declared war on Xaviera after a minor clash that resulted in light casualties. The war began favorably for Forarendt when tanks breached through the Xavieran Border until they met a hailstorm from Xavieran Aircraft near the capital city of Xaviera. Forarenian soldiers were gradually pushed back and into their initial positions during the war. After fruitless attempts to invade back, they were met by a crisis when Elovannia declared independence and they were forced into signing a white truce with the Xavierans.

#### Grand War

The Grand War, or officially known as The Battle Of The Kings, is a 25 Year Absolute War that involved almost all nations in the entire world.

##### The Elovannia Invasion

During the quiet night on the 8th January, only 2 Corps was stationary in the border. On 05:00 AM the soundof artillery opening fire destroyed many tanks and soldiers on the outskirts of villages. Moments later, columns of tanks started moving on the road, this was a total suprise attack by Forandrendt. By 07:00 AM, the entire western border force was shattered as it became extremely pummeled. Shadow Ospray soldiers began landing their troops without much resistance. By the end of the day, more than 25.000 Elovannians died on the border against the loss of 3.000 Forarenian soldiers.

The Elovannian First Armored Corps managed to halt the Forarenian advance around the highway connecting to the Elovannian Capital, New Gorais. But after a month, New Gorais was taken by joint Shadow-Forarenian forces and the Elovannian monarchy had to leave out of the country by foreign aid such as Gruvania. About 150.000 Elovannian soldiers were evacuated out of the Grand Harbor under intense fire by Forarenian artillery.

##### Battle Of The Red Tulips

After the invasion of Elovannia, Gruvania, Kaphan, Roozterlandie, and Xaviera declared war on the Grand Alliance on first of March 1 GW. Gruvanian Army Corps soon arrived by sea and air in Xaviera in late April. Gruvanian-Kaphan-Xavieran ships began to blockade Grand Alliance Harbors and manage to sink lone destroyers in the Abyss Sea. The first major battle ensued on 7th July 1 GW when 175.000 of the Gruvanian First Army clashed against 210.000 from the Forarenian Fifth Army. The battle was a bloodbath for both sides as 45.000 Gruvanians and 40.000 Forarenian perished in the battle. The battle was named the Battle Of The Red Tulips.

##### The Xavieran Invasion

In 3 GW, The Forarenian Offensive began, when 3 Armies with 1.200.000 men marched into Xaviera. During spring of 3 GW, they made remarkable progress, capturing key city after key city. But during the Summer, vehicles often broke down on both sides, making the offensive ground to a halt. In the winter, the Ivory Winter Offensive led by 4 Armies of 1.760.000 men recaptured back lost ground and manage to cut off a isolated Forarenian Corps from escaping, capturing 15.000 men during the encirclement.

In 4 GW, Magdorland entered the war after its king, Jeremiah II was killed when his gunboat was sunk by Gruvanian Aircraft when they mistook it as a Forarenian Gunboat that escaped the blockade. Just at that time, the Forarenian 4 GW offensive began and soon started shelling the Xavieran Capital City. The Forarenians gradually pushed back the Kaphan Second Army and manage to encircle the capital with 50.000 Kaphan and Xavieran soldiers. At 10 September, the city was taken and all 50.000 was captured. The Ivory Alliance started to evacuate Xaviera when it became clear that Xaviera was a lost cause.

##### The Kaphan Campaign

Around the same time as the Battle Of The Kaphan Line, Roozterlandie reinforcements started to come. On the 2nd of April 5 GW, tanks from the Forarenian Fifth army attacked Yajad that was held by the Gruvanian 12th Corps, Kaphan 9th Army and the Roozterlandie Second Army. The battle that was to ensue took 678.000 Ivory Casualties and 780.600 Grand Casualties. The Grand Alliance finally took Yajad on the 7th of May but the key roads were mined and a small rearguard of 30.000 men was to hold the line until the retreating Ivory Alliance armies regroup at Yuhibu City.

In January of 8 GW, with the arrival of the FN-SCARX that had been issued to all Gruvanian Soldiers, the Ivory Alliance launched an offensive to take Eastern Kaphan and was codenamed Operation Blue Star. Together with Kaphan, Roozterlandie and some Elovannian Corps that escaped the Invasion Of Elovannia and their newfound knowledge from Forarenian Military Tactics, they launched a diversionary attack towards Balahid while the main attack was to cut off key roads in Shakra and Yuhibu City. They cut off the entirety of the Forarenian Fifth Army in Balahid when their Magdorlandian counterparts failed to defend their flanks. All 670.000 men of the Forarenian Fifth Army were captured or killed when they surrendered the Kaphan Second Army on February 8 GW.

Soon after the surrender of the Forarenian Fifth Army, Magdorlandian First Army troops began to withdraw from Yajad under intense fire from Ivory Alliance Artillery whilst Forarenian Second Army arrived to defend it. During the withdrawal, the Forarenian Royal Guard was dispatched to hold the line with their Forarenian counterparts. After 10 days of retreat, the city was taken back by the Ivory Alliance.

##### The Defense of Xaviera

With their newfound experience in the field, the Ivory Alliance started to look back again to Xaviera. On the 3rd of March 8 GW, the Ivory Army started its offensive back again after a few months rest. They racked up the Forarenian Second Army again after its defence of Yajad, taking 210.000 casualties against 368.000 casualties on the Grand Alliance.

On the 3rd of February 20 GW, the biggest naval battle in the Grand War was to commence after the entire Eastern Grand Alliance Fleets (3 Fleets, 600+ Ships) decided that they would have to break the blockade and regroup with the Western Fleet). The Battle of Abyss has begun, around 3 Grand Fleets faced against 5 Ivory Fleets. Both sides were led by seasoned Grand Admirals (Kelv commanding the Magdorland Fleet) (Indev commanding the entire Forarenian Eastern Fleet) (Clifton commanding the Gruvanian Home Fleets) (Charles commanding the Kaphan Northern Fleet). Around 60 Supercarriers participated in the battle, with around 12 of them sinking (Gruvania: 4) (Kaphan: 2) (Magdorland: 2) (Forandrendt: 4). The battle was a strategic Ivory victory due to Grand Admiral Kelv going down with his flagship, MNS Jeremiah and Forandrendt losing 1/3 of their Navy.

Around Summer of 21 GW, the battle of Xaviera was won after the Grand Alliance withdrew into their home territory. The entire campaign costed around 6.000.000 soldiers from both sides to die. Unlike other campaigns, this was by far the most deadliest of them all.

##### The Battle for Homeland

The 2nd Battle of Xaviera was a strategic disaster, because they lost many of their experienced men and have to rely on conscripts to defend their homeland. King Volkhar issued a conscription policy, mobilizing 20.000.000 young men into the ever turning war. The Ivory Alliance decided that Shadow Ospray be bypassed after predicting a land war there would be costly for resources and manpower. The Forandredt theater erupted not by gunfire, but by fire itself after Forandredt decided to scorch its northern lands to destroy Ivory natural supplies that can be obtained in its forests. In Spring of 21 GW, 4 Ivory Army Groups invaded Forandredt in what they call as “The Campaign of Retribution”. At that same time, 3 whole parachute divisions landed on Elovannia to take part in operation Dresanaris, an operation to invade Elovannia by sea.

The theatre erupted into open battle as both sides laid waste into the country, scorching its forests and killing millions of civilians. On 22 GW, the tide is endlessly turning for the Grand Alliance after an unexpected victory for the Ivory Alliance, capturing the capital city Gorais at the cost of 200.000 dead. On winter, the Grand Alliance mustered almost their entire resource to make an offensive against the advancing Ivory Army Groups but it was stopped dead in their tracks and forced into their initial positions.

24 GW marked the last year of the war before peace deals would be signed the very next year. As the Ivory Alliance started to finish up Forandredt, Magdorland changed sides after they were threatened by the Ivory Alliance to “surrender or we will burn down your country.” Not knowing what to do, Forandredt launched a last and desperate attempt to do an offensive that will at least capture back Gorais but to no avail. After 24 years of constant war, King Volkhar was forced to make his country surrender or abdicate, he chose to abdicate and was succeeded by his son Zinkrieg the next day. Zinkrieg asked the Ivory Alliance to a armistice until there was a peace trMeaty.

## Military Personnel

### Rank and Titles

The early Forarenian Army never adopted the idea of a professional officer corps. In particular, the Ministers condemned the use of the word "officer" and used the word "commander" instead. The Forarenian Army never adopted epaulettes and ranks, using purely functional titles such as "Division Commander", "Corps Commander", and similar titles. In 8 AGW it supplemented this system with "service categories", from A-1 (lowest) to A-14 (highest). The service categories essentially operated as ranks in disguise: they indicated the experience and qualifications of a commander. The insignia now denoted the category, not the position of a commander. However, one still had to use functional titles to address commanders, which could become as awkward as "deputy head-of-staff of corps". If one did not know a commander's position, one used one of the possible positions – for example: "Regiment Commander" for A-9.

### General Staff

On September 22, 8 AGW, the authorities renamed the FA (Forarenian Army) Staff as the General Staff, which essentially reincarnated the General Staff of the Forarendt Realm. General Staff officers typically had extensive combat experience and solid academic training.

### Military Education

During the Diaplanatic war, when Forarendt was neutral, the commander cadres received training at the General Staff Academy of the Volkhar General Staff Academy of the Greater Forarendt Realm. On August 5, 9 AGW, the academy became the Military Academy of the Forarendt Realm, and in 10 BGW the Ukrona Military Academy of the Forarendt Realm. The senior and supreme commanders received training at the Higher Military Academic Courses, renamed in 10 BGW as the Advanced Courses for Supreme Command, in 10th of Novemeber, the establishment of an Operations Faculty at the Ukrona Military Academy supplemented these courses. On April 2, 11 BGW, the General Staff Academy was re-instated; it became a principal school for the senior and supreme commanders of the Red Army and a center for advanced military studies.

One should note that Forarendt Armed Forces educational facilities called "academies" do not correspond to the military academies in Northern countries. These Forarenian Academies were the post-graduate schools, mandatory for officers applying for senior ranks. While a basic officer education in the Forarendt Armed Force was provided by the facilities named Foklis and compared to Northern academies like Graycott or Elyghor.

### Manpower

Forarendt has the total of 52 million personnel, with 42 million personnel in the military and 10 million personnel in the paramilitary. The 42 million personnel in the military divided to 4 main branches, Infantry, Armored Vehicle Army, Air Force, and Navy/Marine. Infantry has the total of 15 million personnel, Armored Vehicle Army has 13 million personnel, the 7 Air Force has the total of million personnel, and the Navy/Marine has the rest with the total 7 million personnel.
