Karno-Ruthenian Army

The Imperial and Royal Army of Karnia-Ruthenia is the unified land forces of Karnia-Ruthenia and their administration and procurement authorities. Its origins date back to the Royal Army of Ruthenia, founded in 2014 and it is one of the branches of the Imperial and Royal Armed Forces of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire. As of 24 April 2019, the Karno-Ruthenian Army has a strength of 10 active soldiers and 3 reserve personnel and is organized into twelve inspectorates. All the twelve field armies are relegated to defensive and occupation duties within the Karno-Ruthenian territory. Military service is voluntary, though conscription may occur in some special cases.

Founding
The Imperial and Royal Army was founded on 26 November 2014 as the Royal Army of Ruthenia, few days after the foundation of the Kingdom of Ruthenia. The army was originally, and still have very much of its primary function, intended to be a defensive force to protect the micronation. During this period, Ruthenia avoided major conflicts between 2014 and 2015 but engaged in a number of minor actions supported by the military, for example the 2015 Ruthenian coup d'état attempt and the Overthrow of the Badakistani monarchy.

Reorganization
Following the signature of the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016, the armed forces were readapted and entire hierarchy, nomenclature and training program were reconsidered. They use the Austro-Hungarian model to make patents and the army hierarchy. With the formation of a better organized General Staff of the Armed Forces, there was also a profound change in the attitude of the military, who have adopted a more interventionist attitude towards the military policies of the Empire. The best example of this was intervention in the Lundener Civil War.
