Structure and Organisation

Whilst the offical head of the Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Army is Māori Kīngi Tama III Nukanoa in his role as Paramount Chief of Battle (Onekawan: Ariki Putakari) of the Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Armed Forces, he invests his authority in the Chief of the Army (Onekawan: Rangitira Taua). At the moment this position is held by Atama Petera, who has responsibility for raising, training and sustaining the forces required to ensure the continued safety and protection of the sovereignty of Ngāti Onekawa-Nukanoa within the budget and parametres established by the civilian government.

Order of Battle

The Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Army main combat force is comprised of Te Tahi o Roera Matua Onekawa-Nukanoa and Te Rua o Roera Matua Onekawa-Nukanoa combined-arms divisions and the two independent brigades Te Hekerangi Toa o Roera Pirikēti Onekawa-Nukanoa that act as light rapid reaction forces. These divisions are composed of three manoeuvre brigades which act as the primary tactical formation alongside support units including artillery, aviation, engineering and logistics. These brigades themselves are composed of four battalions alongisde their own supporting units and personnel with these forming the vast bulk of the combat force of each brigade.

These combined-arms brigades are either catergorised as cavalry or infantry brigades, in which the designation is determined by the ratio of armoured battalions to mechanised infantry battalions. Cavalry brigades have a 1:1 ratio of armoured battalions to mechanised infantry battalions, whilst infantry brigades have a 1:3 ratio for armoured to mechanised infantry battalions. Each division is comprised of one cavalry brigade and two mechanised infantry brigades.

The two independent brigades are the Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Parachute Rifles and Royal Onekawa-Nukanoa Naval Infantry. Both of these units are intended primarily to operate as an rapid reactions forces focusing on deployment via either airborne/heliborne assaults or amphibious assaults respectively.
