Organisation
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.
- ↑ The rank of Marshal is reserved only for the King.
- ↑ The rank is fully known as "Brigadier" and is considered a general officer.
- ↑ One Warrant Officer Class One is reserved as the Sergeant Major of the Army (which used to be its own rank for a long time)
- ↑ Company Quarter Master Sergeant is essentially a Sergeant Major.
- ↑ Cork does not use the rank of Lance Corporal, though it used too. This was changed too be more aligned with the Irish ranks.
