Grand Army of Ransenar

Banner of the Grand Army of Ransenar.

The Grand Army of Ransenar was the principal land warfare force of the Kingdom of Ransenar. In 1674, the Grand Army comprised just over 191,563 trained regular (full-time) personnel and just over 56,000 trained reserve (part-time) personnel. From 1674 it, along with the forces of the Sovereign Confederation would form the core of the Eastern Banner Group of Benacia Command.

Beginning as a fraternal organisation composed of the membership of various militias cobbled together in the Goldshirian county of Ran in response to the Kalirion Fracture, the Grand Army began to receive logistical, material, technical, and training assistance from the Eastern Banner Group of Benacia Command during late 1673 AN, transitioning from a rustic rabble into a semi-professional light infantry force over the course of 1674, with mechanisation and professionalisation continuing as a twin-track ongoing programme over the subsequent years.

After the accession of Ransenar to the Benacian Union in 1711 AN the GAR began the process of transferring its assets and manpower to the Benacian Union Defence Force, culminating in the creation of the Ransenari Grouping of Forces within the BUDF in 1713 AN. The regimental traditions and identities of the GAR would be continued within the Ransenari Grouping of Forces.

History

  • Background: Imperial Forces in Goldshire, IDP party organizations, regional IDP offices, law enforcement, local city guards, militias, and paramilitary organizations coalesce into the Grand Army of Ransenar.
  • Advising from ESB, Raspur Pact's Benacia Command. Military training and equipment begin pouring into Modernization & Training Program.
  • Fighting the Revolutionary Army of Crisco.
  • Securing Ransenari borders.
  • Tensions with Iron Company.
  • Second Elwynnese Civil War
    • 20th and 21st Armies - allied formations gathered around Tephal and Kingsgate, intervention to secure the Sovereign Confederation
    • Battles of Fieldburg, bloody stalemate on the Wintergleam Front
    • The Scouring (20.XIV.1695), orbital bombardment and limited nuclear exchange, destruction of rear-area formations around Kingsgate and Tephal
    • Ransenar exits the war and experiences challenges of withdrawing frontline formations along routes by-passing irradiated zones.
  • 1712-1713: integration into the BUDF.
  • 1713: Dissolution of the GAR and establishment of the Ransenari Grouping of Forces.

Purpose and Doctrine

  • Purpose of the Grand Army;
  • Ransenari Reunification;
  • Defense of the Queen and the Realm;
  • Border Integrity.

Current Organization

The basic organization of the Grand Army followed the familiar pattern of Raspur Pact land forces:

  • Corps – 57,600
  • Legion – 7,200
  • Regiment – 1,200
  • Squadron – 120
  • Troop– 40

For administrative purposes, Ransenar was subdivided into military departments that covered a defined region, and which included responsibility for military depots and installations therein, and for the army formations within their jurisdiction - including field armies.

Field armies would in turn generally be formed by the mustering of three or more corps for the purpose of conducting a campaign. Corps and field armies would be commanded by magisters, differentiated by the Praeta translations of their rank titles; Frainan Uihmanzis for a corps commander, and Frainan Hohmin for the commander of a field army.

Equipment

As a participant in the Raspur Pact the Grand Army of Ransenar is entitled to allocations of equipment made directly, at the discretion of the alliance's Joint Military Council, from the Allied Production Matrix. Benacia Command, the theatre level headquarters for Pact forces on the Benacian continent can also authorise direct transfers of equipment from arsenals under the control of the Black Legions.

Major equipment transfers, particularly of small arms, mortars, heavy machine-guns, and vehicles, began at the turn of the year from 1673 to 1674 and accelerated in 1675 as the armed forces of Ransenar received the entirety of the vehicle and small arms output of the matrix for the preceding year.
