Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen
The Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen is an army first deployed by the Republic Sankt Ludwigshafen during the Ludwiggian-Monovian War. The army was created through conscription out of the various regional militias of the Bezirkbürgwehr. Following the establishment of the Lanzerwald Republic, the army was renamed into the 1ste Krijgskorps. After the 1716 Ludwiggian Restoration the army was brought back as a standing army. During the 1717 Military Reorganisation in Sankt Ludwigshafen the divisions were renamed into regiments to better reflect the new distinction of administrative and operational organisation of the armed forces. The Kriegskorps uses two primary standard weapons, the Repetierbüchse 1699 is still the most commonly used weapon but is slowly being replaced by the Maschinenpistole 1720 since 1720. This new weapon that uses Raspur Pact standard ammunition is distributed to regiments that are most likely to be attached to Raspur Pact missions first. Following the emergence of the Confoederatio Aemilia as the dominant factor in the Lanzerwald in 1722, the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen became part of that nation's armed forces, falling under the jurisdiction of Sankt Rosa.
