Free Militia of Recfrere
The Free Militia of Recfrere is the main military force of the Kingdom of Recfrere. They represent the armed forces that can engage in offensive actions and deployments against the threats against it. The army is organized into regiments, similar to that of those of the Jakonian Empire. The regiments are strictly regulated to dealing with external threats only, while the Assembly of Sheriffs deals with those breaking the laws in the cities, and the Assembly of Towns oversees any military operations in rural areas against bandits or raiders.
Structure
The Free Militia is led by the King of Recfrere directly, who is the supreme military head of the militia, and head of state for the kingdom. The king is elected from a widespread popular vote of members, past and current of the Militia whenever the previous one passes away, whether in battle or of natural causes. The military, while called a militia, bears much more in common with the armed forces of the Jakonian Empire and other centralized states, organized into regiments that bear no particular ties to any region or community. Each regiment is headed up by a colonel, while armies and regional districts are led by generals. Promotion and demotion into new ranks is overseen and administered solely by the king.
Public Agenda
The Free Militia is, ironically, the least warmongering of the various factions and organizations within the Kingdom of Recfrere. They advocate for a defense, but most are less than eager to advance the cause of the Assembly of Towns at the cost of the lives of the militiamen. The king often advocates for negotiated settlements with Recfrere's neighbors and hopes to establish a lasting peace.
Assets
The Free Militia consists of sixty regiments scattered in different garrisons across the Kingdom of Recfrere. Most of these are stationed in permanent bases or fortifications maintained by the militia. Ownership is also kept of the various border forts and castles that protect the frontiers of the nation, and they also maintain a series of outposts along the Recfreran portion of the Long Road, to protect commerce with the dwarves and Alsonans. They also maintain a small fleet of warships, numbering usually less than a dozen, to protect against coastal raids from the Bahamis and Populresi.
