Auxiliary Service of Hurmu

The Auxiliary Service of Hurmu, formerly the Women's Auxiliary Service of Hurmu (1720–1746), supports the operations of the Hurmu Fyrð as directed under law per the Senate Regulations on the Defence of the Realms in Right of the Order, 1720 as modified by the Equal Right to Serve Act of 1746.

With the abolition of gendered segregation, the remit of the Auxiliary Service shifted towards combat support services and sustainment activities necessary for the Hurmu Fyrð to be able to maintain the Defence of the Realms of the Order of the Holy Lakes.

Remit

The mission of the Auxiliary Service is to provide the vital logistical, technical, and humanitarian framework required to sustain the Hurmu Fyrð and protect the civilian population. As the professional backbone of the national defence structure, the Auxiliary Service ensures that combat elements remain mobile, supplied, and effective.

Core Mandates

• To work alongside the Commissariat of the Fyrð manage the supply chain of the realms, ensuring the seamless transition of materiel from central stores to local Fyrð units.
• To maintain the integrity of infrastructure, including communications, power, and transport networks, during times of crisis.
• To provide advanced medical and psychological support services to both the military and the wider community.
• To act as the primary liaison between military command and civil authorities to ensure total social resilience.

Recruitment and entry criteria

Entry into the Auxiliary Service is based on functional expertise and a commitment to the stability of the nation. Unlike the Hurmu Fyrð, which focuses on kinetic defence, the Auxiliary Service seeks individuals with high-level technical and administrative aptitude.

General requirements

• Citizenship: Applicants must be legal residents or citizens of the realm with a proven record of civic contribution.
• Age: Candidates must be at least 18 years of age. There is no upper age limit, provided the individual meets the health requirements for their specific role.
• Health and Fitness: A baseline level of physical fitness is required to operate in field environments, though standards are adjusted based on technical versus operational roles.
• Security Clearance: All personnel must undergo a comprehensive background check to ensure suitability for handling sensitive national infrastructure data.

Specialised entry streams

The Auxiliary Service recruits through three primary streams:

• Technical and Engineering: Seeking those with qualifications in mechanical engineering, electronics, cyber security, or civil infrastructure maintenance.
• Medical and Welfare: Open to registered nurses, doctors, paramedics, and social workers capable of operating in high-pressure environments.
• Logistics and Administration: Targeting professionals with experience in large-scale procurement, transport management, or civil service administration.

Training programme

Successful applicants must complete the Basic Auxiliary Induction Course. This programme focuses on:

• Integration with Hurmu Fyrð command structures.
• Emergency first aid and crisis management.
• Field craft for non-combatants.
• National security protocols and civil defence legislation.
