History of the Holyn military |
The Royal Holyn Defence Forces is the military force of Holynia comprising the Holyn Ground Force, Royal Holyn Air Force, Royal Holyn Navy, Royal Holyn Strategic Forces, along with two independent arms of service; the Royal Holyn Marines and the Holyn Airborne Assault Forces.
Holynia has maintained a standing military since 1743, however the current interation traces its roots to the Holyn People's Army founded in 1925. This force was reformed in 1950 into the Holyn Armed Forces. The collapse of communist Holynia and separatist rebellion in Bogoria saw the Holyn Armed Forces begin to splinter and disintegrate. Elements of the military were accussed of war crimes, including ethnic cleansing. The military was reorganized in 2001 as the Holyn Defence Forces, adding the Royal prefix in 2002. The military underwent rebuilding and modernization in the 2000s and 2010s.
The head of the military is the Holyn monarch, currently King Mikulas I, the figure that service members swear allegiance to. The constitution, however, vests de facto executive control of the military in the Prime Minister and Minister of Defence. The Chief of the General Staff leads the day to day operations of the military.
The Royal Holyn Defence Forces is authorized for 493,700 personnel under the FY2021 budget. The military is entirely volunteer based, with conscription ending in 2005. Civilians must still register for conscription once they reach 18 years of age, however, are not called for service. The military budget of Holynia is around $101.3 billion. Three branches of the military operate nuclear weapons, the Royal Holyn Air Force, Royal Holyn Navy and the Holyn Strategic Forces. Two independent uniformed security forces are seperate of the Royal Holyn Defence Forces and fall under the two Principalities of Holynia, Hornatyia and Masovia. These are the Hornatyian National Guard and Masovian National Guard.

The Holyn Ground Forces (Holyn: Holynské Pozemné Sily) is the land forces of the Royal Holyn Defence Forces. As of 2020, the Holyn Ground Forces has 190,000 active duty and 370,500 reserve personnel, totalling 580,500 personnel. It maintains forces across Holynia in both active duty and part time reserve roles.
History
The Holyn Ground Forces in its current form was formed on 20 May 2001, in the aftermath of the war in Bogoria. The Ground Forces inherited the personnel, command structure and equipment of the former communist Holyn Army. The military was in a rapid state of collapse with desertions, low morale, destroyed equipment, and limited funding. The military however was consumed with the ongoing war in Bogoria. A peace treaty was finally signed in 2002, with the Holyn military withdrawing from Bogoria throughout the summer. A massive demobilization had to be undertaken, writing off entire divisions deemed unneccesary in post-communist Holynia. The Ground Forces went from 20 divisions in 2002 to 9 by 2003.
Post-war reforms
Holynia's military was viewed as "inefficient" by the new government. Minister of Defence Cvesek stated a top to bottom reform had to occur. A post-war parliamentary commission also recommended the Ground Forces be rebuilt. The commission found a bloated officer corps and lack of NCOs led to poor control of the ground forces when dealing with the quasi insurgency in Bogoria. Contradictory orders led to failed operations and high casualties. Poor training, especially of infantry contributed to the high casaulty rate. Lack of coordination and communication with the Air Force meant air support, the biggest advantage the Holyn military had, was insufficient.
In March 2003, the first reform plan was unveiled before the Narodna Rada. The Ground Forces would be reduced to a total personnel count of 400,000 active duty. Among other reforms proposed were ending conscription and reducing the number of commissioned officers.
2003 Reform Proposal
- Reduce Ground Forces from 750,000 active personnel to 400,000.
- Create a professional NCO corps.
- Reduce officer count.
- End conscription by 2005.
- Increase size of reserves.
- Increase personnel pay.
The reforms began to implemented in the fall of 2003, with a series of buyouts of commissioned officers and merging several military academys. In January 2004, the new reserve structure was unveiled, with a officer corps and enlisted corps. The Defense Ministry set a goal of having 2 reserve divisions fully staffed with officers and enlisted personnel by 2005. In May 2004, the first NCO academy was established in Cizekporok at the former campus of the defunct Military-Political Academy.
Significant reorganization of the structure of the Ground Forces continued throughout 2005. The Military Districts were dissolved, with the command structure changing from (Military District - Army - Division - Regiment) to (Unified Military Command - Division - Regiment). The Unified Military Commands would be unified commands for all branches of the Defence Forces, with the goal of creating better coordination between branches.
In February 2005, the final draft was held with 13,000 men conscripted into the Ground Forces for 12 month mandatory service. The new contract/volunteer program for enlisted personnel began with the 785th Recruitment Brigade established. Four more recruitment brigades would be founded in 2005 to assist with attracting and retaining contract personnel. The Ministry of Defence stated 40% of conscripts in 2005 opted to remain in the military, signing 4 year contracts. Higher pay was attributed to the rise in contract personnel, with pay rising from U$300/month for a conscript to U$1,900/month for a contract soldier.
2009 rearmament plan
2018 reform plan
Structure
The Ground Forces are commanded by the Ground Forces Commander, a General of the Army, from the Ground Forces Headquartes in the Defence Ministry building in Cizekporok. Three operation commands, Ground Force Operations Command, Ground Force Training and Support Command, and Special Operations Command are subordinate to the Ground Forces Command. The Capital Defence Command reports directly to the Ground Forces Headquarters and is independent of the other Ground Forces Command. Five geographic commands, roughly equivalent of a corps are subordinated to the Ground Force Operations Command. The five geographic commands consist of 2-3 motor rifle (combined arms) or tank (armoured) divisions.
Personnel branches
Personnel in the Holyn Ground Forces belong to a Personnel Branch applicable to their trade/unit. These include the Motorised Rifle (Infantry), Tank (Armoured), Artillery, Rocket Artillery, Air Defence Corps, Aviation Corps, among others. Several sub-branches gain additional distinction. These include (in order of precedence): Life-Guards, Royal Guards and standard Guards units.
Motor Rifle troops are the infantry branch of the Ground Forces. They are equipped with a variety of weapons for different tasks including armored troop carriers, tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft weapons and mortars. The Ground Forces have 7 Motor Rifle divisions.
Tank troops are the armored branch of the ground forces. Tank divisions are made up primarily by Tank regiments. Main battle tanks are the primary equipment of the tank troops, however other heavy weaponry including fire support vehicles support main battle tanks. Tank troops are geared as shock forces, meant to break through enemy lines and lead offensive operations. The Ground Forces has 5 Tank divisions.
Artillery and Rocket Artillery troops make up artillery regiments. They are geared to support motor rifle troops and tank troops by providing fire support.
The Life-Guards regiment, the 2nd Life-Guards Calvary Regiment, is the Household regiment of the Monarch of Holynia. This unit was renamed the 2nd Life-Guards Calvary Regiment from the 2nd Guards Tank Regiment Volen Hajek, the household division of communist Holynia in 2003. They received honorary uniforms including a Shako and red tunic. It remains a Tank or armoured regiment, with a higher honorary order of precedence over other military units.
Royal Guards are standard Guards units that have been designated as one of the additional Household divisions. They receive special uniforms, a Royal Guards badge and rotating duties of ceremonial duties. Two Royal Guards Regiments exist, the Royal Cizekporok Guards Motor Rifle Regiment and the Royal Bytca Guards Motor Rifle Regiment. They receive additional uniform elements including Shakos and closed-collar tunics.
Guards units receive badges denoting their Guards status, but do not receive additional uniform elements. Instead, these units wear the standard Ground Force uniform.
All Guards designated units are usually made up by active duty personnel, but some Reserve personnel do serve in Guards units. Guards units receive the newest equipment, partly because of their elite status.
Additional affiliations exist between units/branches. The Royal Holyn Artillery Regiment is an honorary distinction that several Artillery Regiments have received. Regardless of their status as Guards or non-Guards units, they receive an honorary uniform. Armored and artillery troops as a whole receive black bands on their caps in-lieu of the standard Ground Force red band.
A soldiers branch also determines pay and post-service (veteran) benefits. Guards units receive elevated pay. Meanwhile, all other branches tend to receive a standard pay scale based on their individual contract. In addition, post-service benefits tend to be determined by which branch they served in.
Personnel
The personnel of the Ground Forces consist of 201,600 active duty and 370,500 reserve personnel. Regular Service personnel are active duty enlisted personnel. They are full-time professional soldiers who sign a four year initial contract and additional contracts between four to nine years. Primary Reserves consist mainly of combat and support units. The other aspect of reserve personnel are the Secondary Reserve, which primarily consist of support units. Both Reserves are paid and receive benefits, but at a lower scale compared to Regular Service personnel.
Conscription was the primary form of recruitment prior to 2005. All personnel since 2005, full-time and reserve, have been volunteers. Enlisted personnel that were originally conscripted prior to 2005 still remain in the ground forces. They make up 9% of active duty personnel and have voluntarily signed contracts since being enlisted.
Regular Service
The Regular Service personnel are 190,600 active duty full-time enlisted and commissioned personnel. They are subject to deployment and have long term contracts. Training is subsidised for enlisted personnel, while officer cadets pay tuition which is then waived once they receive their commission. Regular Service personnel receive pay based on rank and length of service. They make up 52 regiments, 21 seperate battalions and 11 seperate companies. Many regiments are only enlisted from specific demographics or regions. Regular Service personnel make up the entirety of the household division (9th Guards Tank Household Division Cizekporok - Prince Vinazlec). All other divisions divide regiments into Regular Service and Primary/Secondary Reserve.
All enlisted and officer cadet recruits receive 5 weeks of initial training, either Initial Soldier Training or Initial Cadet Training. Enlisted personnel then move onto specialised training of 9-12 weeks for their respective trade. Officer cadets will move onto their respective academy.
Many Regular Service personnel sign contracts which commit them to 2-5 years of Primary/Secondary Reserve service. All other enlisted Regular Service personnel who elect to leave either are discharged or become Immediate Reserve, which is seperate from the Primary/Seconday Reserve. Immediate Reserve is a holdover from the Communist era. Immediate Reserve receive no pay and no obligation for training. In an emergency, Parliament may call up Immediate Reserve for active duty. In the Communist era, this duty was mandatory for all military personnel leaving on good terms, however since 2002 has been voluntary.
Primary Reserve
The Primary Service consists of 210,500 personnel. They are part-time volunteer soldiers, NCOs and reserve officers. Primary Reserve are both civilian volunteers and Regular Service personnel who volunteered for Primary Reserve. Primary Reserve undergo similar initial training to Regular Service personnel and receive ongoing training which they must attend at least 2 days per month. Primary Reserve personnel are assigned to units, similar to Regular Service units, but are only part time manned units. The Primary Reserve staffs all front line reserve units along with support units. Most Divisions feature a 40/60 mix of Regular Service and Reserve personnel. Primary Reserve may be called up for service by the Minister of Defence for up to 365 days.
Secondary Reserve
Secondary Reserve consists of 160,000 part time personnel. Secondary Reserve undergos similar training to the Primary Reserve. Secondary Reserve staff most support divisions and several administrative units. They do not serve in front-line units, receive less pay than Regular Service or Primary Reserve personnel. They must attend drills 2 days per month and may be activated for up to 365 days by the Minister of Defence. Secondary Reserve heavily recruits medical, clerical and other skilled trades to man specific units.
Organization
The Holyn Ground Forces are made up into 7 Motor Rifle Divisions (Combined arms) and 5 Tank Divisions (Armored). Motor Rifle Divisions typically have 1-2 tank regiments, 3-4 motor rifle regiments, 1-2 artillery regiments, an air defence regiment and 8 additional battalions consisting of anti-tank, engineering, intelligence, reconassiance, signals, NBC-defence, transport, supply/logistics, maintenance, and medical units. In addition 1-2 aviation company(s). Tank divisions reverse the order of Tank and Motor Rifle regiments. A division will consist of active duty units and reserve units.
