The military equipment of [[Aurega]] includes a wide array of arms, armored vehicles, artillery, missiles, planes, helicopters, and warships. Many of these are purchased overseas and many are indigenous designs. Before the [[Great War of the North]] of 1863, the Auregan Armed Forces' principal supplier was its own Industry. However, following the post war crisis and massive deindustrialization, the nation relied on foreign surplus equipment until the 1890s, where its industry began recovering. However, it did rely considerably on [[Sjealand]]ic equipment during the [[Continental War]]; since then, the Auregan arms industry has redeveloped considerably, with [[Wosrac]], [[Cradebetia]], [[Nameria]], [[Katranjiev]], [[Aucuria]] and [[Sjealand]] being examples of nations which have bought Auregan equipment.  Much of the military equipment undergoes adaptations in Auregan workshops.

The Auregan Armed Forces, also known as Her Majesty's Armed Forces, are the military arms responsible for the national defence of the Federation of Aurega. They also promote Aurega's interests, partake in international coalitions and provide humanitarian aid. The Auregan Armed Forces count with a total of 95,315 Active Personnel, of which 65057 are part of the Fyddin Ayrgenig, 15208 part of the Navy, and 15050 under the Air Force.

Today, the armed forces are composed of the Ilynges Ayrgean, a green water navy with a fleet of 166 comissioned vessels, the Fyddin Ayrgenig, Aurega's main land force, and the Grym Awyr Ayrgenig, a modern air force with both fixed wing and rotary aircraft. The Forces are managed by the Ministry of Defence and the Defence Council, chaired by the Secretary of Defence and the Chiefs of Staff. The Coast Guard is managed by the Secretary of Home Security, under the Ministry of Defence, and not a part of the Armed Forces. The Auregan Armed Forces are a relevant regional military power, with significant participations in the great war of the North, the Continental War and several other conflicts. Victorious from the Continental war, it has been able to decisively influence nordanian events.

Its Commander in Chief is the Auregan Monarch, currently High Queen Gwen I, to whom members of the force swear allegiance. The armed forces are managed by the Ministry of Defence, together with the Joint Chief of Staff, responsible for the logistic and administrative coordination between all arms and the ministry.

History

Foundation

Created in 1744 as an amalgamation of Loyalist State militias during the Auregan Civil War, the Auregan Army found itself responsible for the victory over the enemy Arwinist Forces. The centrally organized army command proved advantageous over the descentralized militias, and coordinated action overran the Arwinist militias in the summer of offensive of 1745, culminating in the victorious siege of Baeloch and the defeat of the Arwinist rebellion. It was then demobilized, but continued to exist. The Auregan Army has achieved its current organization following the 1925 constitution, with the monarch as commander in chief and de facto administration organized by the Defence Council.

The Auregan Navy, while older than the army, isn't considered the foundation of the Auregan armed forces due to its more centralized nature from the start. The Navy was founded in 1621 in form of the Confederation Navy, formed by the navies of the Duchy of Alun, Tenew, and the Deric League. It has fought in every conflict Aurega participated in ever since.

The Auregan Air Force was founded in 1921, during the Continental War, as an evolution of the Army-managed Aviation Corps.

Command organisation

Command of the Auregan Armed Forces is established by the 1925 constitution. The power of command is vested in the monarch, with the presumption of executive departments. The Ministry of Defence has been responsible for this administration since the first government. The Defence Council was reformed as a permanent entity shortly after, with the Home Defence Act of 1926. It follows the same structure of the War Council of the continental war, and is responsible for coordinating military strategy with government affairs. The Defence Council is composed by the Minister of Defence, the Joint Chief of Staff, the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the Chief of Naval Operations, the Secretary of Home Security, and the Prime Minister.

Personnel

Structure

Ranks

Enlisted personnel

Enlisted personnel is largely made up of conscripts serving their term which could be voluntarily extended to a maximum total of 36 months. Starting as Private, a promotion to Private First Class rank is expected after Phase 1 Training, usually after three months. After an additional three months of service (usually consisting of special training required for their branch of service) a soldier is usually promoted to Private 2nd Class rank unless they fail even most basic requirements. Enlisted soldiers will usually receive their Private 3rd promotion after nine months to award outstanding performance or after twelve months of service. With higher qualification it is also possible to be promoted to Private 3rd Class by the first day.

To be promoted Lance Corporal, a soldier requires at least three years of enlisted service. With the minimum service time requirement, the soldier may apply for Phase 2 Training. Upon succesful completion, the soldier is then promoted to Lance Corporal. Lance Corporals are responsible for supervising a small team of soldiers, known as Fire Teams,and are organically described as Team Leaders in TO&Es.

To be promoted to Corporal, a soldier requires at least four years of enlisted service, as well as a specialization training. Corporals are responsible for the management of a Squad, Section or Vehicle, and may obtain additional trade or instructor specializations.

The most important distinction between NCOs and enlisted men is that the latter cannot give any order even to lower-ranking soldiers unless specific circumstances apply (e.g. while on guard duty or to soldiers ordered to do so by their regular chain of command).

NCOs play an important role in the Army as they are entrusted the command of most sub-company units. They often are referred to as the backbone of the army. Especially Sergeants and above carry similar responsibilities officers have. This is largely due to the decentralized Auregan military doctrine. Auregan orders usually do not include specific instructions, but rather a task, the available time and the available means. This gives leaders of smaller units a great deal of freedom and responsibility.

Soldiers have the possibility to start with the rank of a Lance Corporal or even Corporal if they already have a civil apprenticeship which qualifies them for any army-equivalent position. Civil master craftsman of army-relevant jobs may directly start as Sergeant. The army decides depending on the availability of positions.

The promotion to Staff Sergeant is regularly given after two years as Sergeant. Any higher rank requires a certain number of years in their previous rank and performance. Soldiers with at least eight years active duty (six for flying crews and those in some other positions), of which five are as a Sergeant, are eligible for promotion to Staff Sergeant. Those serving for at least 12 years have the chance to become a Warrant Officer class 2. 16 years after promotion to Sergeant, and six years after promotion to Warrant Officer class 2 a soldier may be eligible for promotion to Warrant Officer class 1.

These rules apply for navy sub-officers in the same way.

Each regiment and corps has distinctive insignia, such as a cap badge, beret, tactical recognition flash, kilt or stable belt. Many units also call soldiers of different ranks by different names; a private is called a guardsman in garrison units, a gunner in artillery units or a sapper in engineer units. These names do not affect a soldier's pay or role.

Field Rations

Field Rations usually consist of Tuna, Sardines, beans, Bread, Spinach, Cabbage and bars of Chocolate. Packets of fruit flavored drink powder are also provided along with condiments like ketchup, Mayonanaise, chocolate spread and jam. The AAF also provides certain freeze dried MREs served in water activated disposable heaters like Cotriade, Crepe and Sausage would be introduced as field rations. One staple of these rations was Spam, a type of food made from chicken or beef that was phased out around 2008.

Weapons and equipment

The military equipment of Aurega includes a wide array of arms, armored vehicles, artillery, missiles, planes, helicopters, and warships. Many of these are purchased overseas and many are indigenous designs. Before the Great War of the North of 1863, the Auregan Armed Forces' principal supplier was its own Industry. However, following the post war crisis and massive deindustrialization, the nation relied on foreign surplus equipment until the 1890s, where its industry began recovering. However, it did rely considerably on Sjealandic equipment during the Continental War; since then, the Auregan arms industry has redeveloped considerably, with Wosrac, Cradebetia, Nameria, Katranjiev, Swastria, Ambrose, Aucuria and Sjealand being examples of nations which have bought Auregan equipment. Much of the military equipment undergoes adaptations in Auregan workshops.
