Red River Free State Army

The Red River Free State Army (RRFSA) is the land warfare component of the Red River Free State National Defense Force. Formed in 1997 after the creation of the Red River Free State, the RRFSA has two main missions: to counter possible insurgency in all forms, and to maintain a conventional military arm which could defend the republic's borders, making retaliatory strikes as necessary
