THE SECOND REGIMENT

 

The Commonwealth Grenadiers

“Evil be to him who evil thinks.”

 


HISTORY 

 

The 2nd Regiment of Grenadiers of the Imperial State Army, known colloquially as the Commonwealth Grenadiers or simply as the Grenadiers, serve as the standing military of the Commonwealth of Kaedrin and a division of the Holy Orenian Empire’s armed forces.

 

In the year 1743, by the initiative of Governor-General Richard de Reden, the remnants of the former Royal Army along with the ‘Poor ******* Infantry’ peasant militia were combined in an act of merger that established the 2nd Regiment. The men of Kaedrin, historically known for their steadfastness and sturdiness, were informally dubbed ‘the Grenadiers’ as a unit of specialized shock troops in the service of the Empire. In a natural evolution from the Kaedreni siege engineers of yore, these soldiers, recruited from both the rural highlands of the outer Commonwealth and the metropolitan township of Ves, serve and defend their country in a myriad of different assault operations. 

 

The military ensign of the 2nd Regiment of Grenadiers is the flag of the Commonwealth, in the top left-hand corner, flown atop a field of white. The 2nd Regiment maintains both mounted soldiers and infantry amid its ranks.

 

In line with classical Kaedreni principles, the hardy men of the Commonwealth Grenadiers are inculcated with the principles of human unity and supremacy over perfidious nonhumans, gypsies and pagans. This is best summarized by the unofficial words of the Commonwealth as a whole, the maxim of St Peter, who declared ‘one God, one country and one law’ for humanity.

 

All members of the officer corps of the 2nd Regiment above the rank of ensign are expected to wear their hair in the Kaedreni fashion, powdered, curled and tied in a queue, and wear the tricorne as the symbol of their rank. 


TENETS

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must display complete and total loyalty to their superior officers.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must never take the life of a fellow soldier.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must never draw blades against a fellow soldier.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must never steal from another soldier.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must wholeheartedly believe in the one true GOD, his creation of Horen and the world.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must never use GOD’s name in vain nor speak of GOD with malicious intent.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must attend Church once every Saint’s Week and be baptised in the Canonist faith.

 

Soldiers of the Regiment must never act in a corrupt capacity, nor harm civilians without probable cause or exigent circumstances.

RANKS 

 

Officer Corps 

M7sYIBr.png

Colonel

 

The Colonel of the 2nd Regiment serves as its chief commander, of which there can be only one. As a regiment is the largest division of troops within the Imperial State Army, the colonel’s authority over his own troops is absolute, with his station the highest peace-time rank aside from that of the Imperial Fieldmarshal. He can elect, at his own discretion, a singular Lieutenant Colonel, who shares his rank as both an understudy and a right-hand man. 


Captain

 

A captain is the chief of a brigade within the 2nd Regiment, which is the immediate division beneath it. These entities are more specialised and smaller than the entire regiment, with several brigades coming together under the authority of the Colonel. These brigades are also appelated with numerals, however similar to the ‘Commonwealth Grenadiers’, also tend to have relevant nicknames. The Colonel can elect not to divide the 2nd Regiment into brigades, in which case a captain is simply the rank immediately below him. 

 

Lieutenant

 

Similar to the Lieutenant Colonel yet on a lesser scale, a lieutenant is the primary assistant of a captain in their management of a brigade within the 2nd Regiment. Unlike the Lieutenant Colonel, they are considered to technically be a separate rank from a captain. There may only be as many lieutenants as there are captains within the regiment as a whole.

 

Ensign

 

Ensigns are junior officers, frequently recruited from among the noble families of the Empire, who have been awarded their first commission. An ensign is not expressly in command of any particular force within the 2nd Regiment, yet is nonetheless expected to advance his career by showing his superiors his nascent prowess in military command. Accordingly, ensigns are often tasked with duties that require a low level of commanding authority, including the control of small groups of regulars for special assignments of miscellaneous administrative work. To be awarded a commission as an ensign is representative of an entry into officership, and the beginning of one’s rise through the ranks. 

 

Regulars

Sergeant

 

Sergeants tend to be the oldest and most experienced soldiers who have not pursued a commission. Well versed in unit tactics, drill and dress, sergeants are never seen without their drill cane with which unruly privates can be kept in line. Sergeants rely on orders from commissioned officers and distribute them throughout the troops, keeping form and order on the battlefield.

 

Corporal

 

Corporals are thoroughly experienced soldiers who have completed a term of no less than two years in service. Chosen from those most experienced privates and having a good deal of battle experience, corporals are expected to organize privates and recruits to follow the orders of their sergeants and officers. 

 

Private

 

Privates of the regiment consists of men elevated from the rank of recruit, having passed their training process. The privates of the regiment are expected to carry out all duties assigned to them in an orderly fashion and make up the rank and file of the regiment. Authorized fully to carry out the Crown’s Justice these loyal grenadiers are commonly seen in groups no less than four with either an non-commissioned officer or commissioned officer close at hand.

 

Recruit

 

Fresh recruits undergo a two-year training process before being oathed and raised to the rank of private. During this time, they are exposed to the rigor and discipline of state military tradition, along with a nascent education in Imperial society and culture. They have not yet formally enlisted into the military, and as a result do not have the right to wear any military regalia.
