Reichsheer (The Imperial Army)

- The basic unit is the battalion, which consists of roughly 1,000 personnel, commanded by a colonel;
- Imperial Brigades usually consist of between three and six battalions and are commanded by a brigadier general;
- Imperial Divisions usually consist of two or more brigades and are commanded by a major general;
- Corps, Army and Army group structures can also be formed, usually commanded by a lieutenant-general (Corps), or generals (Armies and Army Groups).

Current deployable combat formations include nine divisions (listed below) with 18 other conscript brigades, which act as auxiliaries.

Auxiliary/Conscript Brigades
5 other "support" brigades are deployable. These tend to consist of conscript infantry based on the five years' service each male must undertake by law between the ages of 16 and 21. Troops who stay on after this period, or those who show ability in a specific field, tend to be moved into one of the other brigades where their training is stepped up.

Reserve Army Forces
Normally in peace time around 200,000 reserves are maintained in a battalion command structure based at each large town and city in the Crownlands. Reservists receive at least one weekend's armed forces training every month. They are only mobilised during a time of war or to defend the sovereign territory of The Imperial Crownlands. However, all reserves either surrendered or were dissoved following the war.

Army Reserve HQ. (Karlstein - Hilgar) 2,500 personnel. Commanding Officer Lieutenant-General Maximilian Strauber
The reserves, once mobilised, can be deployed into brigade/division and corps structures for operational deployment.

(There are 4 commissioned ships in the IHN remianing 1 cruiser-class support ship, and 3 destroyers.

Based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_frigate_Almirante_Juan_de_Borb%C3%B3n However it was sunk in battle with Colaition forces.

NB - An aircraft carrier programme based on the Kaiser-class vessel, suffered a major setback when the prototype ship The Beatrice was destroyed in dry dock in 4263. The MoD concludes that more research and international support is required to get the project back off the ground.

MessagePardon me, but in testing, the Mac-10 and Uzi performed less well than the FN P90. Additionally, the two selected are quite unreliable.
