The Public Forces of Ransenar, is the state guard of the Ransenar, a paramilitary territorial defence force raised as an aid to the civil power which also serves as a wartime reserve for the Benacian Union Defence Force.
Remit
The Public Forces of Ransenar normally serves as an auxiliary force for the realm, activated on the occasion of need, for the purpose of territorial defence. It can also serve as a mobilisation manpower reserve for the Benacian Union Defence Force, and may be called out for partisan warfare operations. During counter-insurgency missions the mobilised State Guard will normally be called upon to establish a cordon around a district or bailiwick in which more specialised agencies would then be free to operate as required.
History
In 1731 AN, with relations between the Benacian Union and Shireroth at a crisis point, the decision was made by the Congress of Chryse to mobilise the militias of the realms in support of the Benacian Union Defence Force. To Ransenar was set the task of raising 0.5% of its 1722 AN population as a contribution to the defence of the Union-State. These persons, by whatever means they were called into service, were to be assigned to the Public Forces of Ransenar.
As such, the civil executive of Ransenar would be asked to find 456,270 men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five to rally to the colours.
From these, in order of priority, were to be found 156,000 men, divided into 260 demi-regiments, with which the many fortifications and defensive strong points established within Ransenar since its establishment were to be garrisoned and defended. This would leave up to a theoretical maximum of 300,270 men, sufficient for twenty divisions, with which the Ransenari Grouping of Forces would be reinforced.
