Reserve components of the Tiperyn Realm Defence

The reserve components of the Tiperyn Realm Defence are military forces of Tiperyn which are not designated as. Each service branch of the Tiperyn military has varying levels of which hold differing responsibilities in peace and wartime. They are unified by the fact that reserve duty soldiers are not year-round, but training and deployment obligations vary between reserve tiers.

Realm Guard
The Realm Guard is one of two ground warfare branches in Tiperyn. With 213,000 active duty Guards, it is supported by 452,000 reservists. Of the 1.8 million Tiperyners who reach military age each year, 113,000 are conscripted into the Realm Guard each year. About 43,000 are conscripted each year to serve a 2-year active service plus 5-year ready reserve obligation in the Realm Guard (to hit a goal of 86,000 conscripts in the active force at a time). An additional 70,000 are conscripted each year to serve their training duration plus 6 months as full-time personnel in Ready Reserve units before being transferred to part-time Ready Reserve status for 5 years. Any individual who registers for conscription and isn't conscripted, doesn't volunteer for military service, isn't inducted into a national service program, and isn't employed in a strategic industry is placed into the mobilization pool until they reach the age of 45. The mobilization pool, which contains unconscripted personnel as well as former servicemembers who have satisified their minimum obligations, may be called upon to serve during a large scale conflict.


 * Active Reserve (60,000) - Consists of formed units which are organic to an active-duty formation but are on part-time status before being called into active service. For example, the 61° "Haukvirth Mountainists" Regiment (a mountain infantry regiment) has 1., 2. and 3. Mountainist Battalions in active service and 4. Mountainist Battalion as an active reserve formation. The regiment's 5. Ruitery of Foot Battalion (a motorized reconnaissance formation) also has one troop (company-sized) in the active reserve. Guards in active reserve formations typically have (1) been conscripted into active service for 2 years and opted to swap their last year of active service for 2 years of active reserve service, (2) been conscripted or volunteered and aftering completing their initial active duty obligation opted to transfer to active reserve status for a follow-on contract, or (3) volunteered for active reserve status for an initial 5-year service term in lieu of a 2-year active service term. Ready reservists typically drill 2 days a month and participate in a 3-week training exercise once every year. Active reservists may be called into active service to deploy overseas at any time, although current statutes aim for active reserve battalions to deployed a maximum of once every 4 years.
 * Ready Reserve (510,000) - Consists of trained servicemembers who after their initial active service obligation (barring re-enlistment or transfer to active reserve) are transferred to the high readiness tier of mobilization regiments for a period of 5 years. High-readiness mobilization regiments are affiliated with specific provincial Continental Armies and provide replacements, formed unit reinforcements, or individual augmentations to their affiliated active duty regiments during wartime. For example, the Haukvirth Reserve Command contains 4 ready reserve infantry regiments that provide reinforcement to the Duchy of Haukvirth and Principality of Spencton's 5 active duty infantry regiments (the 64° Boreal Rangers do not have an affiliated mobilization regiment). One such pairing is 603° "Duchess of Haukvirth's Light Foot" Regiment which is affiliated with the active 61° "Haukvirth Mountainists" Regiment. These regiments are smaller than their active duty counterparts. When used to provide a formed unit to an active regiment, the entire mobilization regiment is attached as two battalions to a division (doctrinally the same division as their affiliated active regiment). Alternatively, they may provide their active duty regiments with formed troops/companies and battalions directly as reinforcement, skilled individual augmentees to fill manning gaps, or individual replacements to cope with battlefield attrition. During wartime, if the associated division's Reinforcement Division has been activated, doctrine is for each 2-battalion Ready Reserve regiment to be expanded to 3 battalions with mobilized personnel. Ready reservists typically drill 2 days a month and participate in a 3-week training exercise once every 2 years. Unlike active reservists, who may be called into active service at anytime, ready reservists are not legally able to deploy overseas except in wartime.
 * Mobilization Reserve (1,744,000 trained) - Sometimes referred to as the "Cadre Force", consists of skeleton formations with a minimum of leadership, training, and technical experts serving in the Ready Reserve which in wartime are filled out with (1) servicemembers who have completed their active service and ready reserve obligations and have not yet reached the age of 45, (2) any conscript who has completed their military training but not fulfilled their active or ready reserve obligation due to discharge, and (3) individuals who registered for conscription but were not conscripted during their eligibility period. There are two types of Mobilization Reserve divisions:
 * Stridkommandos R1: Called "Reinforcement Divisions". Each active-duty Stridkommando (division-equivalent) has an affiliated Reinforcement Division with a training staff matching each active-duty regiment or divisional subunit. Reinforcement Divisions do not deploy, but process selected mobilized personnel and new conscripts (only when the active division has been deployed), conduct refresher training, and send replacements to the combat units. According to Secretariat on War white papers, about 20% of the trained mobilization reserve (74,000 reservists) would be earmarked for reinforcing or replacing losses in active, active reserve, and ready reserve units during the initial period of conflict.
 * Stridkommandos R2: Called "Mobilized Divisions". They are whole divisions that are formed from mobilized personnel and deployed as combat units. Secretariat on War white papers report that during a large-scale conventional war, about 80% of the trained mobilization reserve (296,000 reservists) would be used to form 18 Mobilized Divisions. At least 50 Mobilized Divisions, and possibly more, would be formed in the first year of a large-scale conflict from the mobilized reserve's untrained manpower pool and new conscripts. It is government policy that once a large-scale war begins, volunteering into the military will be halted and all personnel will be conscripted to streamline processing.
