Militia
The Lavrasian Militia comprises the defensive military forces of the Commonwealth. The Militia is tasked with the defense of the Commonwealth proper, territories under Lavrasian protection, and the provincial sphere of influence from foreign aggression and encroachment, as well as providing humanitarian services in the area in the event of a disaster.
The Militia is composed of Active and Reserve elements. The Active Militia consists of those citizens currently serving in the confederal military or regular provincial forces, while the Reserve Militia includes every other able-bodied citizen between the ages of 16 and 65. Foreign mercenaries may also serve in the Militia at the discretion of the Commandant. Militia service is completely voluntary, and members may leave at any time for any reason. |
The Militia may be called into confederal service in the event of a national emergency or invited to participate in joint training exercises by the Supreme Commander of the Delveran Armed Services (DAS).
CommandantThe Commandant is an officer elected by the members of the Active Militia to lead the force and act as a liaison to the Supreme Commander. The current Commandant is Jordan Brizendine, who was elected to the post in 2017. Previously, he has served confederally as Supreme Commander (2013-2017).
TrainingThe Militia conducts regular training covering a variety of skills and competencies, both combat and noncombat, with a primary focus on patrolling and maintaining Lavrasian sovereign territory and property.
