Turinian Military

Overview

Due to its democratic and pacifist nature, the Free County of Turinas does not consider the military its primary tool of diplomacy and international relations. However, because of its military history prior to independance, it is not short of volunteers and it is supplied welle nough, although it is considered out of date by modern standards.

Leadership

The military of Turinas is governed by the Military Minister, Hon. Francis Wedderby, and Lord Marshall Michael Darnder. The latter is responsible for the tactical organisation and deployment of the military, while the Military Minister controls the finance and welfare.

Below these high commanders there are the leaders of the Five Branches of the Turinas Military, and below them are other ranks as found in most military organisations.

The Army

Leadership

The Army is led by Gen. Marcus Kerj. Beneath him, the Infantry is commanded by Gen. Theodore Uhfer, and the Armour by Gen. David McKhuire.

The Infantry

The Infantry of Turinas are split into two groups. 3/4 of the infantry serve in the Rifle Regiments, while the remaining 1/4 serve as Halberdiers. Their uniforms are white with red trimmings, and black trousers. They usually don camouflage in appropriate wars, however.

Halberdiers

A very old tradition in Turinas is that every county maintains a regiment of Halberdiers to take part in the defence of the realm. Since the independance, however, they have stopped being a miltia and seen action on the frontline, in those cases taking up rifles. While soem see thme as basically the same as the Rifle Regiments at these times, they are normally relegated to defence work, and still prefer to engage the enemy in close combat.

Riflers

Armed with the SA80, the Rifles are what one would expect from a modern infantry regiment, althoguh in Turinas they are expected to pride accuracy above all, and about 1 in 5 troops are armed with a Sniper Rifle.
