The St Joseph's Volunteers is a Line Infantry regiment tasked with the defence of Burwood located within the central plains of Moorland. The regiment was established in 1727AN by the Moorland Armed Forces from remnants of Ostland's Arbeitskorps, which had fractured into mercenary bands following the destruction of the central government during the Burwood Wildfires. In 12.1727, the MAF began soliciting for volunteers from members of the Arbeitskorps to form a new regiment to assist in battling the wildfires. This was a different approach than that which had been employed previously, wherein the MAF had been forcibly taking command of rogue Arbeitskorps units that had been acting independently or, worse, were found looting and pillaging their own lands. To central command's surprise, the call for volunteers was well-received and within a week they had four-thousand members, with more coming in continuously. The regiment chose the name St Joseph's since they originally mustered near the ruins of the old Nova English cathedral of the same name; the location of which would eventually become the command point for the unit.
Following their initial mustering and formal induction into the MAF, the unit was immediately deployed to assist the Westmoor Light Infantry in fighting the ongoing wildfires.
