The Hayreniky Combined Militia is the Realm Defense Force of Hayreniky.
History
The Hayreniky Combined Militia was established in 1988 as per the Commonality Constitution's description of responsibility for national defense of Syara falling on both the national government in Zovahr and the individual Realms that form the Commonality. The Combined Militia considers itself a military reserve force on par with the Syaran National Forces and the Syaran Stratgic Forces, though it is a distinct legal entity that answers only to the Grand Council of Hayreniky and the ilKhan.
Role
As a Realm Defense Force, the Combined Militia swears loyalty to Hayreniky itself and answers to the Viceroy rather than the Commonality and the Executive. Per the Commonality Constitution the Combined Militia cannot be mobilized or utilized by the Syaran national government without explicit authorization by the ilKhan and the Grand Council. The Combined Militia style themselves as a paramilitary force meant to operate as a second miltiary force in conjunction with the SCAF in defense of Hayreniky, though it is not considered part of the Syaran Commonality Armed Forces.
The Combined Militia is a distinct legal entity from the SCAF, and its reserve components. Combined Militia members are not exempt from conscription into the SCAF, however their serivce in the national armed forces can be substituted for servce in the Security Forces, though introductory training is the same for both services.
Organization
Combined Militia Headquarters is the central command center of the Combined Militia, located in Sarhadi. The commander of the Combined Militia is the Senior Commander, who answers to the ilKhan and the Grand Council and is appointed by ritualistic trials, as are all Militia members. Per official figures published by the Grand Council, the Combined Militia has an allotted strength of 18,000 personnel, though previous Senior Commanders have long held that the Combined Militia has an additional 150,000 volunteer reservists on hand, which partially explains its inflated forces structure, as seen below.
