Your regiment in the Foreign Legion (PT, MT)

OOC: After a long time not getting to it I have decided to jump-start my new generation of Foreign Legionnaires. Back in '04 when I first started I enjoyed a diverse Legion. Most of the constituent nations from then are gone. And so following in the footsteps of Imeria (I give props to him for the format here) I am announcing regimental openings.
I prefer regimental groupings due to their historical importance and the fun of naming them. For reference my Dominion was found in 1652 and its Foreign Legion in 1655 to assist in handling the First Indig War (1655-1691) at the behest of the Duke of Cecilburg. Many of the early Legionaries would be Boers and foreign expatriates and adventurers. In 1831 the Foreign Legion would be officially and royally sanctioned by King Nolan II, the Headman, and earned the Legion the popular nickname "Nole's Axemen". The Legion popularly sports dual cap badges: one of the Legion itself, a springbok bearing the inscription "Union makes strength/Eendrag maak mag", and one of the regiment itself (which can be of your design).
And so you are invited to devise a regiment, its founder's history and reasons for coming to join the Legion.

Post quality will determine a regiment's Order of Precedence within the Legion.
And whoever can help me with photoshopping the Legion flag idea I have will earn a high place of precedence. TG me if interested.


It should be noted that some of these regiments will likely turn up in RPs in the future. Possibly quite soon.

Units so far
Image

1st (Agymnum) Combat Engineers (1 and 2 battalions)

A recent addition to the Legion, the 1st Agymnum have found a difficult entry due to their focus on adaptive research over combativeness. Nicknamed "the Researchers" by their new comrades they have been given a position deemed similar enough to their methods to succeeds: that of military engineers. In this role they are able to utilise their logistical prowess in support of friendly forces, which gives them time to also attempt adaptive research to overcome or destroy enemies in protracted battle.
Though curiously viewed by other Legionaries for the time being, their eccentric methods are expected to bring fresh results and technology.

Image

1st (Ulvenan Centuri) Light Cavalry (1 Battalion)

When founded this command was too small to be overly utilized, and so acted as a reinforced company in cadre duties at the Legionary Training Academy. But the outbreak of a war in the Nodic lands caused their redeployment, and flurry of volunteers enlarged them to five battalions strong. Utilizing a simple but effective strategy of envelopment the unit acted as the spear-point for many offensives or reconnaissances in force. Such constant battlefield attrition wore away at the complement of distinctive armour they had brought, until a single piece remained. It sits now in the Regimental Headquarters with their guidons as a symbol of heritage.

Currently reduced to only a battalion in composition, its CO is fighting for enlargement. Once again the unit finds itself situated for cadre duty in the Springbok Isles.

Image

2nd (Calldari Freebooters) Air Assault (3 Battalions)

In the era of rebuilding the first detachment of Calldari thrill seekers was welcomed as an asset to help the Legion survive the post-war stresses. These foreigners did not disappoint. Though few in number at first their assignment in other regiments brought them distinction for favouring the bayonet and never giving their foe a chance to breath. For this reason the were constituted into their own regiment as a reward. This regiment has been used as a tactical reserve in many battles, thrown in once the enemy was distracted and unexpecting of such ferocity.

Years have followed, and so has a trickle of Calldari to take up the mantle their founders created. Though most of the regiment is not Calldari in origin, all new members are indoctrinated in the unit's heritage and so meet the standard expected. Their reptation for kicking the foe out of its own territory has earned them the nickname "Freebooters".

Image

1st (Jefferson's Own) Air Assault (2 Battalions)

"A jack of all trades, and even master of some" fits this regiment well, and its emphasis on adaptive terrain training has fit the Legion well. Since its beginning it has created a habit out of small-unit actions through terrain thought impossible; indeed many Southroner Legionaries claim they must be Southroners by blood for their skills. Jefferson's Own has found itself out maneuvering natives in their own lands and nomads in their own deserts. Originally light infantry the progressed to para in the 1930s, and now primarily act as Air Assault. An emphasis on mobility lends them the reach required for their maneuvering, as a training regimen ensures those men who can work well in small-unit actions are exclusively accepted.

With the current peace the regiment is using its 1st Battalion to act as cadre in the LTA's Air Assault school. The 2nd Battalion is currently attached to regular Army regiment conducting war games at MIST. The regiment's Legionaries are said to be "itching for unclimbable mountains overseas" at this moment.


Image
Legionaries in the 1870s

The Legion has a strong and proud history. It cannot claim to have never lost a battle, but it has never failed to avenge a defeat nor gain ultimate victory in war. Southron prefers to use it as the tip of the spear for many expeditionary forces, and the regiments each have storied heritages.
For centuries the Legion has called the Springbok Isles their home and primary base of operation. Legionary Command and the Legionary Training Academy are both situated there, and most Legionaries house their dependents in one of the bases or cities.

The regiment tends to work best in small units, usually around 6-8 men.

They are parachute-trained, and function very effectively as elite special forces for precision attacks, or encircling an enemy.

“Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.”

Yet human intelligence has another force, too: the sense of urgency that gives human smarts their drive. Perhaps our intelligence is not just ended by our mortality; to a great degree, it is our mortality.

711th Light Havenic Combat Army

An irregularity in the rosters of the Legion, the Vakolicci mass enlistment in 1844 was met with suspicion and concern. Unwilling to allow such a large body of homogenous foreigners wholly into the armed forces, it was decided to organize them along the lines of an independent detachment under the command and purview of the Legion itself. With such a plentiful number of foreigners willing to fight and die the 711th Light Havenic Combat Army was thrown into some of the harshest battles over and over. By the end of the first campaign season in the Great War (1914-1917) the army had been reduced to two understrength divisions and rotated into a reserve status. The Vakolicci expatriate community in the Springbok Isles never quite recovered from this demographics wound.

In 2012 the 711th LHCA would be reactivated with the boost of nearly a quarter of a million volunteers. The reorganization is still underway, due to the cost of taking in so many foreigners at once. These new 711'ers will have the hard task of living up to a reputation of fearlessness and sacrifice.

Remember Rhodesia.

Turkish Irregulars (1 Battalion)

Named for a mix of their tactics and their appearance in Southron, the Turkish Irregulars garner interest due to their strange religion and continued mixed loyalties. Though their ultimate devotion to the Legion has never had cause to be quested it is known they maintain a strange patriotism to their land of origin. This has not interfered with their skill in battle and tactical flexability.

1st Armoire Rifles (2 Battalions)

If some units are considered irregular, the Armoire Rifles strive to redefine it. The regiment was found by a proportionally large group of foreign officers and nobles with ambitions of authorship. Most perished near the end of the last Nodic War, but Legionary Command was determined to honour the founders and rebuilt the command with other troops. Now the survivors form the officer corps and have done their best to impart high marksmanship standards. Every Armoire company is known to have at least two sniper teams attached.

1st Provisional Sedik Infantry
(3 Battalions)

The Sedik Infantry was an experiment that almost ended before it began. Communism, and socialism by relation, are despised and looked down on. The appearance of volunteers from an openly socialist state struck some as a not-so-subtle attempt to infiltrate the Legion. But Legionary Command took a different look: these volunteers understood the communist mentality and guerilla warfare. Skills that could be useful it combatting a communist guerilla insurrection.
And so after background checks, pysch evaluations and loyalty tests, the 1st Provisional Sedik Infantry was activated. Already it has earned high marks for assisting in the defeat of the socialist Congaree Liberation Front's militia.

Volmachtian Siegebreakers Armoured Regiment (4 Battalions)

This distinguished unit served valiantly at Hohengrad in the final Nodic War, almost destroying itself in the process. Knowing the Enemy sought to encircle the Sixth Royal Army after the collapse of its flanks, the Siegebreakers (who had been stationed as a mobile reserve) launched multiple local counterattacks along the flanks and into the teeth of the oncoming pincer. The ferocity of their barrel crews and grenadiers convinced the foe that a force ten times larger was present, and stopped the princer in its tracks. For this the regiment won the Royal award, Caanan's Chain, which it bears to this day.

Now rebuilt to four battalions this command stands as one of the Legion's premier armoured contingents.

2nd (Gaveoan Nationals) Irregulars (1 Battalion)

Another addition to the irregular warfare branch of the Legion, the recently formed Gaveoan Foreign Nationals have brought with them a strong determination and vigorous boasts. The unit has yet to see action within the Legion, however, and so more than a few of its boasts have led to the odd fist fight. Oddly these fights have actually raised its reputation for tenacity and so given Legionary Command high hopes for the unit's first action.

79th Varijnland Legion Artillery

Artillery has been king of the battlefield for centuries, and this regiment has fought to keep that true. Though it arrived with the prefix "Royal" in its name, within the Legion it was forced to change it as only commands authorised by the Royal Family could bear such an honour. Where other men might have balked, these chose to fight to prove their right to earn the Royal prefix. An excellent support force for an Legionary mission they have been equipped with some of the latest foreign-supplied weaponry from Lyran Arms.
The artillery school of the Legionary Training Academy constantly fights to have cadre of Varijnlanders present on the role, and at this time the whole command is engaged it mass training with newly forming units. But the regiment eagerly awaits a return to the battlefield, to let itself be heard.

Remember Rhodesia.

Number of original volunteers: The original Glaswegistani contingent consisted of the fighting men of the Skalicky Company; a private firm of roughly 2000 soldiers and 750 support staff, with close ties to the Glaswegistani government (like most private organisations in Glaswegistan; Party Loyalty being a treasured national virtue), seeking to make money and help build relations with other states by giving a positive impression of Glaswegistani soldiers and mercenaries.
Do you wish to have a distinctive regimental name?: Yes
If yes, please state it: The Skalicky Company goes by several names; it retains its identity as the Skalicky company, although as it has partially been integrated into the Party itself as a government endorsed and funded initiative, the Skalicky Company also goes by the name of the "2nd International Division", and has been coloquially referred to as the "SIDS" (Skalicky International Division) and more recently has acquired the nickname "Faiz's Company", derived from the name of Faiz Karim; a (recently retired) Company officer who achieved notoriety for several different actions in the field.
Does your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting: The Skalicky Company, like the Glaswegistani Armed Forces it is partially derived from, attempts to maintain effectiveness in many different tactics, CQC techniques and combat styles. However the Skalicky Brigade is undoubtably superior in its use of heavy infantry, although the five Tanks that the Company maintains are of considerable veterancy and effectivess. The Company Works best in an environment of a continuous offensive; aggressively moving against enemy positions with the support of Company Armor and allied air support.
Do you wish to have a specific cap badge? The Glaswegistani Seal (Seen in the centre of the flag), with the customary wreaths, but with the addition of two crossed claymore swords behind the seal.
If yes, please depict or describe it: Described above, the seal is visible above this application
Does your nation have a nobility back home? Not on a national level, although the Party feels no real hostility towards Monarchies (viewing several incredibly favorably), however, in some territories later assimilated into Glaswegistan, the structure of the Local mobility was allowed to continue existing at a state level so long as party doctrine and national loyalty was respected.
If yes on the previous question, was there a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Faiz Karim is of Royal blood, but is retired as of two years ago.
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people? Although Glaswegistan is incredibly ethnically diverse (due in no small part to its size and expansionism), the original state was formed around a largely British Ethnic group (Mostly Scottish) and a sizable American presence. The majority of the Glaswegistani population is white and of European descent.
What is the main religion of your people? Protestant Christianity; although there is no official state Religion.
Is there something the regiments will be known for? The Company is known for its relentless and usually successful assaults, even against the most grim odds that could possibly be stacked against them on the offensive, although on a more general level, the Company is usually known for its extreme loyalty to Glaswegistani Party doctrine, and its loyalty to countries that the Party approves of. As such, the Company has been known to work in several foreign legions, being "lended" to whatever country is hiring at the time, however corporatocracies, or states where the government is controlled by a corporation (or group of corporations) are not worked for under any circumstances (in accordance with Party doctrine).

The Skalicky Company is also known for generally using Glaswegistani equipment, although in the past it has (grudgingly) been coerced into accepting a standardized equipment set in other countries foreign legions. Finally, the Skalicky Company insists upon having the right to wear a Party armband on their left arm.

Naturally, the Company will not fight against Glaswegistani Military Forces, although given that the Company is in part a diplomatic venture; it is unlikely that such a conflict in loyalties would arise, as Glaswegistan is likely to be supportive of whatever nation the Company is working for at the time.
