Structure
Main Article: Structure of the Corkonian Army
The Corkonian Army follows a Brigade-Regimental System. How it works is each province has its own Brigade (cork) which is commanded by a Brigadier and in that Brigade (cork) there can be either Regiments or Independent Companies/Independent Battalions. In these Regiments there are Battalions or sometimes Independent Companies, of which are commanded by Lieutenant Colonels, Regiments themselves are commanded by Colonels.
Within Battalions, there are Companies which consist of Platoons.
The Corkonian Army adopted this all the way back in 2023 however fully implemented it within the Corkonian Armed Forces 2024 Re-Organisation Act, which forced the Brigade-Regimental System. There are however some independent Companies that exist.
Uniforms

The Corkonian Army has multiple categories of uniforms, ranging from ceremonial, to combat to evening wear and barracks wear. The main uniform is called the "I3 Woodlands" which stands for "Iteration 3 Woodlands" as it is the third iteration of the Corkonian woodland camo uniforms. The I3 camos see active use in every single unit of the army, however some older garrison units and training units, such as in the Armed Forces Training Corps who uses the old I1 and I2 camos for its training squads. Some units have additional uniform sets, either it be ceremonial or cultural to it. One such example is the Scottish Guard Regiment (cork) who has a bagpiper uniform for parade and ceremonial usage.
