1754 Military Reorganisation in the Lanzerwald

The 1754 Military Reorganisation in the Lanzerwald refers to an effort undertaken by Minister-Präsidentin Hedy von Rossmarkt to reform the organisation of the armed forces of the Lanzerwald Republic. The reorganisation partially undoes the modernisation efforts undertaken during the 1717 Military Reorganisation in Sankt Ludwigshafen. Reason for the reorganisation is the fact that after the Treaty of Sankt Rosa and the Third Ludwiggian-Monovian War and peaceful relations with all its neighbours, the republic did not need a strong standing army anymore to further its goals. Instead the focus was shifted towards the Bezirkbürgerwehr, an army of volunteers that gets activated in case of an invasion.

Volksheer

The Panzerkorps Ludwigshafen, Zandarijn Liberation Army and the Weisenburger Kriegstruppen were not abolished but no personnel was assigned to them. Only the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen and the Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen remained fully staffed, leading to a standing army of 7,100 soldiers. Armoured vehicles were limited to the reactivated Kriegskorps Tatschanka Kompanie within the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen, and all other armoured vehicles were brought to the Elfinschenheide Military Storage, added to Bezirkbürgerwehr units in border areas, or used in static defence structures.
