Formation of the Green Standard and the Banner's War
In the mid 16th century Salmuth decided that the old banners system could no longer meet the needs of a rapidly changing world he declared that Salmuria would now need a regular standing non banner aligned army for the whole island. This would become the Green Standard Army which would also have the secondary purpose of a national gendarmerie. The Four Banners would instantly see tremendous change and an identity crisis following the formation of the Green Standard and would see their transformation from being "the" army of Salmuria and begin their transition to filling the modern niche of a well equipped and training professional and specialized force.
