Liotainian Army

The ground forces of the Liotainian military.

### Classification Notes

* **Class A** units are kept at full strength during peacetime.  They are usually composed of the most seasoned officers and NCOs matched with enlisted troops conducting their twelve months of national service.
* **Class B** units are units composed largely of enlisted troops who have completed their national service within the last two years.  Most officers and NCOs are in uniform year-round, but the enlisted personnel are only in uniform two weeks out of the year.  They can be at full strength within 96 hours of mobilization.
* **Class C** units are mostly staffed by personnel two to six years out from their term of national service.  Most officers and NCOs at the battalion level or lower are in uniform for only a few weeks per year.  Equipment is maintained at central arsenals.  These units are only activated during declared wars, national disasters, or spring maneuvers.  They can be at full strength within fourteen days of mobilization.
* **Class D** units are composed of personnel six to twelve years out from the end of their term of national service.  Only regimental and divisional officers, and the senior NCOs, remain in uniform year round.  Equipment is maintained at central arsenals.  These units are only activated during declared wars, national disasters, or spring maneuvers.  They can be at full strength within twenty-one days of mobilization.  They tend to be the last to receive new equipment, and are usually equipped as "fortress infantry" troops.  They have few draft animals available, and their tactical mobility is relatively poor.
* It is illegal for Class C or D reserves to be deployed outside of Liotainian borders, or to be mobilized for a period longer than one month, without the approval of the Teismas.
* It is illegal for Class B reserves to be mobilized for a period longer than three months without the approval of the Teismas.

### General Notes:

* The 1st and 6th Infantry Divisions are Class A divisions.  The bulk of their manpower is composed primarily with soldiers on their twelve-month term of national service, but the officers and NCOs are long-term professionals.
* The 2nd, 4th, and 10th Infantry Divisions are Class B divisions.
* The 7th, 8th, and 9th Divisions are composed entirely of Provincial Infantry Regiments.  These are all units of the Class C reserves.
* The 3rd Infantry Division "A Rock on Rudeksna" carries on the unit histories and battle honours of the five militia tercios involved in the 1629 Battle of Rudeksna.  As a result, it is composed of five "tercios" rather than four "regiments" normally used.  The tercios are a combined arms unit with seven infantry companies, one cavalry squadron, and one artillery company, with roughly 2,500 men each.  The unit lacks divisional artillery.
* The Isdristi are the elite regiments that are viewed as "shock" infantry.  The three Isdristi regiments are limited to volunteers able to pass a strenuous physical exam.  Pay for the Isdristi is nearly twice the rate of other regiments; they wear special uniforms and receive special priveleges.
* The Life Regiment Rifles (infantry) and the Life Regiment Hussars (cavalry) are also viewed as elite units, having the duty of guarding the monarch, royal palace, and Teismas.  The Rifles usually hold the distinction of guarding the palace (and the monarch) when he or she is in residence, whereas the Life Regiment Hussars are tasked with providing a mounted bodyguard when the monarch leaves the palace.
* Any unit designated "Provincial" or "Fusiliers" is a unit of the Class C reserves.
* Class B and C cavalry units have regional stables where the regimental horses are kept.  Cavalry reservists are required to participate in regular rotations to take care of their animals.  As a result, Class B and C reservists in a cavalry unit usually spend more time in uniform than the average infantry reservist.  If the reservist lives a significant distance from the regimental stable, they may apply for permission to pasture their cavalry horse either on personal land or at a registered civilian-owned stable.
* The Royal Mardinite Legion and the Royal Erisian Legion are recruited from ethnic Mardins and ethnic Erisians living in Liotainian territory.
* Women may be assigned to combat units, but are preferentially sent to logistics or communications units.
