Third Army

The Karno-Ruthenian Third Army is a Karno-Ruthenian permanent field army and was established in August 2014 as part of the Lomellinian Army in Principality of Lomellina and transformed into a regional army during the reforms caused by the creation of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire and before that, the union of the sucessor state of Lomellina, the Duchy of Libertia to the Kingdom of Ruthenia, an antecessor state of Karnia-Ruthenia. The task of the Army since its foundation is to defend the Principality of Lomellina and its citizens.

History
The history behind the foundation of the Third Army begins with the foundation of the Armed Forces of Karnia-Ruthenia, but the Third Army have roots in Libertia. The Lomellinian Army was the ground branch of the Lomellinian Armed Forces which, in co-operation with other branches of the Lomellinian military, was charged with the defence of Lomellina. After the Principality of Lomellina ceased to exist, the army became the military of the Duchy of Libertia and then, after signing of the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016 and the foundation of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire, the III Army and its inspectorate was created in June 2016, replacing the Lomellinian Army and serve as a defensive force of the Empire in the event of conflict.
