Hwangji Army

Organisation
Army Headquarters, located in Seulgwang, is responsible for operational readiness of the Army for employment by Joint Forces Headquarters. The Hwangji Army follows a hierarchal structure with overall command coming under the Army Commanding Chief, who remains subordinate to the Chief of the General Staff, the professional head of the Hwangji Armed Forces. The ACF is supported by the Army Commanding Chief of Staff who act as his deputy and aide as well as the Royal Sergeant Senior of the Army who acts as the senior enlisted advisor to the ACF. Army Headquarters is divided into 3 commands: the Corps of the Center, the Corps of the South and Central Army Command each commanded by a General Subaltern. These Corps are divided into a number of Divisions and Brigades which consist of a number of smaller formations such as Battalions and Companies.

Special Forces
The Hwangji Army contributes 3 main formations to Hwangji Special Forces. The Army Pathfinders are the Army's special reconnaissance force, the Pathfinders are organised into 8 Detachments of 62 men. 3 Detachments are deployed with the Corps of the South in Kodeshia, a single Detachment is with the 4th Airborne Brigade, 2 being attached to the Corps of the Center and the final 2 being under Central Army Command. Army Pathfinders are primarily tasked with setting up observation posts, conducting special reconnaissance and other reconnaissance tasks in support of their respective attached units.

The Army also contributes a special missions unit, the Red Tiger Commandos, the unit is the most prestigious and secretive in the entire Army. The Red Tigers are staffed with 240 Commandos as well as supporting staff and are primarily tasked with conducting direct action and hostage rescue. The Red Tiger Commandos are divided into 60 man Combat Teams which are distributed across the country, most of the group's operations are extremely classified but it's known a few involve infiltrating Selengeria to provide training to resistance groups.

The Army Raiders is the specialist light infantry force, tasked with supporting the Red Tiger Commandos on operations but also are the force tasked with the infiltration into Selengerian to link up with local resistance forces and intelligence agents to conduct sabotage operations within Selengeria. The Army Raiders comprise a Combat Group of 3 Raider Battalions and a Combat Support Battalion.

Formations
Majority of units are organised under battalions and regiments administratively, however the most common fighting group is the Battlegroup. Battlegroups are formed around combat units (typically a battalion of infantry) supported by units from other combat or combat support units such as engineers or logistics. One example are the battlegroups that were deployed to Exercise Pullover 16 in Akiteiwa. The primary combat unit was provided by 1st Battalion, Queen's Own Selengerian Light Infantry's A and B Company. These companies were supported by C Squadron, 7th Lancers using G2A1 tanks, a company of engineers from 47 Engineer Regiment, 155 Battery from 76 Regiment of the Queen's Royal Artillery Corps and smaller units of medical, logistics and intelligence units attached to the Battlegroup Headquarters. The infantry and armour companies were attached with an extra platoon from 1st Battalion's Light Fires Company and from the Royal Tigers respectively. Typically these formations are organised and named by the primary combat unit contributing to the battlegroup. As such, this unit was 1 LIGHT SELENGERIAN Battlegroup. This helps to form a self sustaining formation of armour, infantry, logistics, engineers, artillery and other units under the command of a Adjutant Colonel who is typically commander of the largest contributing unit.

Battlegroups can also be utilised at the brigade level, in the event of war with Selengeria it is expected that the Hwangji Army will drop it's brigades. Instead, Brigade HQs will form brigade level battlegroups consisting of existing units from the brigade as well as supporting units attached from the Division or higher. Such formations are only used during large scale division exercises or during brigade-level deployments. This form of deployment is regularly used in Operation Brightspark with brigade level battlegroups regularly deploying for year long rotations in the region.

Recruitment
The Hwangji Army, like the rest of the Armed Forces, operates a professional army of soldiers with conscription having been abolished in 1967. All Queen's Men and Officers are normally required to serve 14 year service terms with the Army, although discharges may be granted with benefits for certain situations.

The Hwangji Army recruits from Hwangji citizens who live in Hwangchu as well as those who live overseas. Dual passport holders are allowed as long as those passports are of KTEC nations. The Army has been an equal-opportunity employer which is not allowed to discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, race or class by law since 2004. The Army recruits from 17 years of age with the maximum age of prospective applicants being 38. These age limits also apply to officers except for members of the Engineering and Artillery Corps who permit 16 year olds who graduate through the Army Academy. All applicants must meet a set of stringent requirements based on criminal records, national threat level, health, education and physical fitness.

Training
The Army maintains a number of training facilities to train and process recruits for the Army. For Queen's Men, recruits undergo Basic All Arms Training at either Camp Sunghil or the Infantry Training Facility. Basic All Arms Training conditions recruits for military life and teaches them basic military skills such as navigation and basic infantry skills.

After Basic All Arms Training, recruits undergo Specialist Skills Training to train for the role with their branche or corps. For the Infantry, this is done at the Infantry Training Facility, for the Engineering Corps it is conducted at Camp Dae-Hjyuk whilst the Armoured Corps teaches their recruits at the Armoured Training Camp. From there, they are distributed to the various Regiments of the Hwangji Army.

Queen's Officers are primarily sourced from applicants with university degrees, various Queen's Men who show promise in their Basic All Arms Training, taken from the various Army Universities or are promoted from Queen's Men for distinguished service.

Queen's Officers undergo the Royal Command Training Course at Officer Training Facility Bulgae from which they learn basic officer leadership principles, values of the Queen's Officers as well as physical training. From there, they were be distributed to undergo their specialist training like the Queen's Men.
