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.

Reserve component categories

 * Active Reserve - Comprises 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. Soldiers or expeditionists in active reserve formations typically have (1) been conscripted into active service for 2 years (3 years in the Realm Armada) and opted to swap their last year of active service for 2 years of active reserve service, (2) been conscripted or volunteered who have completed their initial active duty obligation and opted to transfer to active reserve status for a follow-on contract, or (3) volunteered for active reserve status in lieu of a 2 year active service obligation with an initial active reserve service term of 5 years.
 * Ready Reserve - Comprises 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 605° "Duchess of Haukvirth's Light FOot" Regiment which is affiliated with the 61° "Haukvirth Mountainists" Regiment These regiments are much smaller than their active duty counterparts. When used to provide a formed unit to an active regiment, the entire mobilization regiment is attached as a battalion-equivalent formation. 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.
