Zandarijn Liberation Army
The Zandarijn Liberation Army (Cibolan-Diets: Bevrijdingsleger van Zandarijn), currently a corps of the Exercitus Aemilia, was a originally a nationalist army of insurgents that was formed in III.1708, during the Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War, first as the Prins Haven Liberation Army, renamed to Zandarijn Liberation Army on 14.IV.1708. Initially the army had the goal to only liberate Prins Haven from Monovian occupation, when volunteers from Nieuw Rotterdam joined the army, it widened its scope to all cities that formerly belonged to Zandarijn. The Zandarijn Liberation Army was predominantly armed with weapons that were captured by the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen from their Monovian enemies, complimented by Ludwiggian weapons and ammunition. After the war the people of Zandarijn and the people of Sankt Ludwigshafen formed a new nation, the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald and the Zandarijn Liberation Army was adopted into the Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald as the 2de Krijgskorps.
After the establishment of the Confoederatio Aemilia, the army became a part of the Scuta Aemilia as part of the Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen, despite calls to reinstate the army as a separate unit. Military top brass resisted those calls as they would make it too obvious that Aemilia wanted to retake territory held by the United Principalities, which was kept a secret until the surprise Aemilian intervention in the United Principalities in 1741 AN. Units aligned to the Zandarijn Liberation Army played a significant role in the invasion of the United Principalities and the army was restored by Princess Emilia Antoinette on 21.XII.174, a day after the treaty was signed in which the United Principalities surrendered.
