Hurmu Peace Corps

The Hurmu Peace Corps is the branch of the Hurmu government tasked with protecting the peace of the people and state of Hurmu. The Hurmu Peace Corps was established in 1694 through a constitutional amendment after it was found that the Hurmu Constabulary, being Hurmu's police force, was not legally sanctioned to provide for the protection of the peace in a more preventive manner.

The Hurmu Peace Corps thus works with preventing breaches of peace of Hurmu and the state of Hurmu. It does so through gathering such information as necessary, under the law, to provide for the peace of the people and the state. It also organises volunteers from all over the world to aid in providing for the peace of the people and the state of Hurmu. However, the Hurmu Peace Corps is also authorised under the constitution to defend the peace of Hurmu's people and state through armed means. Further more, the Hurmu Peace Corps may, on the order of the Senate (the collective head of the Hurmu Peace Corps), be deployed abroad or to the Green if it is the interests of the peace of the people and state of Hurmu or necessary to uphold the peace in a territory ravished by war, calamity or natural disaster.

Those who have pledged their service to the Hurmu Peace Corps are collectively known as peacekeepers.

Due to being established only in 1694 by an Act of Parlerment, there is a lack of officers and enlisted members in the HPC. As such, the Parlerment has provided for accepting commissions and enlistments from other countries with which Hurmu has treaty relations as equivalent for the rank at hand in the Hurmu Peace Corps, provided the individual applies for provisional Hurmu nationality. Such provisional nationality allows for the family of the peacekeeper to settle in Hurmu (i.e. the peacekeeper acts as sponsor for his family)

Hurmu nationality will be then granted upon the foreigner peacekeeper (and those he or she sponsors) upon honourable discharge or ten years' service, whichever comes sooner. Exceptions occur if the peacekeeper, or a person whom he or she sponsors, has been found guilty of an offence of which a custodial sentence is indicated in the criminal code).

Organisation

The Hurmu Peace Corps is headed by Chief Commissioner of the Peace Corps, who answers directly to the Senate. In practice, most communication goes through the Senate's national security committee. Where the Constabulary answers to the Hurmu Executive (and thus the Assembly), the Peace Corps answers to the Senate. Both Senate and Assembly are involved in budgetting and legislating for both corps.

The Hurmu Peace Corps is divided into four departments, supported by the Peace Academy:

• Sea Department
• Land Department
• Air Department
• Psychology Department
• Peace Academy

Regimental structure

The administrative foundation of the HPC is the regiment, comprised of 1,200 peacekeepers under arms divided between three cohorts each under the command of a Superintendent Inspector of the Peace, with 360 men per cohort, and an HQ & Supply Echelon squadron of 120 peacekeepers under the command of a Inspector of the Peace who serves as the regimental adjutant. The regiment itself is commanded by a Director of the Peace, supported by two Chief Superintendents of the Peace who serve as Executive Officer and Quartermaster respectively. If required the regiment will divide its strength into two demi-regiments, each under the command of one of the two Chief Superintendents of the Peace, with the third cohort of the regiment dividing so as to reinforce each of the remaining two cohorts with a squadron-strength detachment, with the third squadron of the third cohort amalgamating with the HQ & Supply squadron.

Cohorts divide into three squadrons, each of 120-men each and led by an Inspector of the Peace. These squadrons in turn divide into three troops of 40-men each which are led by an Officer of the Peace supported by a non-commissioned officer known as a ranger. Troops breakdown into sections of 8-men, each one led by a non-commissioned officer usually a warden.

Each regiment can expect to have up to 70 supernumerary officers of the peace assigned to their formation for the purposes of pay and administration. Unless called upon by higher authorities for other duties, these supernumerary officers remain available to the Director of the Peace to serve as his staff, couriers, close-protection detail, and any other role he may assign them too that is commensurate with their grade.

The ranks of non-officer volunteers within the regiment are assigned by the Director of the Peace on the advice of his Executive Officer and the Non-commissioned Officer of the Peace who has responsibility for the discipline, health, and proficiency, of all other ranks in the regiment.

Regiments are assigned to one of the four departments or the Peace Academy and focus accordingly upon developing specialist skills and modes of operation appropriate to the department to which they have been assigned. As the HPC expanded, three regiments were assigned to the formation of a General Staff to support the Chief Commissioner.

Defence Services Command

The Defence Services Command, established on 6.VI.1700 AN, formalised existing contractual and legacy arrangements by establishing liaison staff teams attached to those entities upon whom the Peace Corps relied for critical defence related services.

Equipment

The majority of equipment initially available to the Peace Corps was confiscated from rebel Elwynnese and Zeedic contingents, formerly associated with the Allied Mission in Eastern Apollonia, Hurmu & Lyrica, that had interned during the Second Elwynnese Civil War. While the Zeedic personnel were recruited wholesale into the Peace Corps, the conflict in southern Eura effectively preventing their return, the former UDF personnel of the 51^st Division elected to be repatriated to rebel-held Cimmeria and Raikoth. The condition of Apollonia Command for the granting of safe passage on the open-seas for the repatriation vessels was that the rebels were to sail wholly unarmed, leaving all of their interned weaponry, munitions, and stores behind in Hurmu. This proved to be a great boon for the Peace Corps, and the foundation of its inventory.

A shortage of small arms obliged the HPC to issue cudgels, pikes, and locally manufactured Florian Cocktails to volunteers, with officers, non-commissioned officers, and peacekeepers on deployment receiving priority for the available stock of firearms. To remedy this deficit, large quantities of assault rifles, machine-pistols, and medium machine-guns were ordered in 1697 AN.
